Pneumatic Pass-through Connections
The user air line connectors have removable plugs fitted at the factory. Refer to User Con-
nectors on eCobra Robot on page 162.
The pass-through connectors on the outer link are accessible with the cover removed. See Fig-
ure 9-13. for locations of the internal connectors.
When routing air lines outside of the robot, any fittings you use must maintain an adequate
seal in the cover to prevent moisture from entering the outer link.
!
CAUTION: PROPERTY DAMAGE RISK
Failure to prevent water intrusion through improperly-sealed external fittings
could void your warranty.
Robot Solenoid Option Consideration for IP65 Robots
If you are installing the internally-mounted solenoid valves on a robot with the IP65 option,
you must use a different air line than what is described in Installing the Solenoid Valve Kit on
page 89.
The internal air line normally used to supply the solenoid manifold is instead used to provide
positive airflow pressure to the bellows / outer link. You can use one of the passive 6 mm user
air lines shown in Figure 9-12. and Figure 9-13.
