l
Drill a dowel pin hole Ø4 mm, H7 for the diamond-shaped pin, 10 mm deep or
more.
NOTE:
The diamond-shaped pin has a Ø6 mm diamond-shaped
section, but the shank is only Ø4 mm. The hole in the base of the
Viper is Ø6, but you need to drill a Ø4 hole in your mounting sur-
face for the shank of that pin.
l
Drill a dowel pin hole Ø6 mm, H7 for the internally threaded positioning pin, 10
to 15 mm deep.
2. Locate two alignment pins, one round and one diamond-shaped, supplied as part of the
robot bundle.
3. Drive the diamond-shaped pin into one Ø6, H7 hole in the robot base so that it is ori-
ented as shown in the preceding figure.
4. Drive the internally threaded alignment pin into the other Ø6, H7 hole in the robot base.
NOTE:
Be sure to use the alignment pins. It can minimize positional devi-
ations that may be caused by the removal/installation of the robot for
maintenance and reduce vibration during operation.
