•
Bottom mount robots mount on a base plate in the host equipment. Four user-
supplied #1/4-20UNC or M6 cap screws secure the robot to the base plate. The
plate should be at least 0.5 in (12.5 mm) thick if made from aluminum and 0.38
in (9.6 mm) thick if made from steel.
CAUTIONS
Failure to take the proper precautions before moving the Atmospheric
Single-Arm Robot could result in personal injury. Use the lifting
devices described in
Moving the Robot or Robotic system on page 3-7
for moving the robot.
Safety glasses should be worn at all times when installing the prod-
uct.
Moving the Robot or Robotic system
The smallest robot weighs about 35 pounds (15.88 kg) and the largest robot weighs
about 85 pounds (38.56 kg).
To lift a robot or a robot mounted on a track or frame,
Brooks Automation recommends using the following lifting rings or a comparable
load-rated substitute:
•
Black Oxide coated Heat Treated Alloy steel ¼ -20 Hoist Ring made by Ameri-
can Drill Bushing Co. (P/N 23050). Four rings are required to lift a robot. Each
ring is load rated for 550 pounds.
•
304-Stainless Steel ¼ -20 Hoist Ring made by American Drill Bushing Co. (P/N
23050-SS). Four hoist rings are required to lift a robot. Each ring is load rated
for 275 pounds.
Either type ring can swivel 360 degrees and pivot 180 degrees. To attach the hoist
rings and lifting device, follow these steps for either top-mounted or bottom-mounted
robots:
1.
Remove the ¼-20 set screw plugs on the top plate or base plate.
2.
Install lift rings in the lift-ring holes on the plate.
3.
Install the robot using a lifting device centered above the robot and attached to
the lift points as shown in
Figure 3-1
