If the MagnaTran 7.1 was purchased with the Brooks Automation Marathon™ or Marathon
Express™ Cluster Tool or with a Brooks Power Supply module, the power cable is included
with the power supply. Disregard this step.
If the power supply is user supplied, the power cable must be fabricated using the fol-
lowing procedures. See
for the power supply require-
ments.
The CE compliant MagnaTran 7 applies improved product reliability by using known
noise reduction techniques such as upgraded grounding on the electronics, special
designed external covers, and compliant power connectors.
The MagnaTran 7 robot re24 VDC ±10%, 20 amps, 480 watts for operation.
The actual power being drawn will depend upon which motors are being used. How-
ever, all power wiring must be capable of carrying the full load. Internal power con-
verters produce the different voltages required by the robot.
WARNING
DO NOT connect or disconnect the power cable at the robot interface
panel with the power on. Damage to internal components may result.
