Tool Flange Installation Procedure
Use the following procedure to install the tool flange.
1. Make sure the steel ball is in the setscrew hole inside the flange. Hold it in place with
your finger as you get ready to install the flange.
2. Slide the flange up on the quill shaft as far as it will go, and rotate until the setscrew is
lined up with the original vertical groove.
3. Support the flange while using a 2.5 mm hex wrench to tighten the setscrew to finger
tight. Do not over-tighten the setscrew. This would cause the flange to be off-center from
the quill shaft.
4. Use a socket driver to tighten one of the socket-head screws part of the way, then tighten
the other one the same amount. Alternate between the two screws so there is even pres-
sure on both. The torque specification for each screw is 8 N·m.
3.4 Installing the Front Panel
Use the information provided in this section to install the Front Panel.
When mounting the Front Panel, you must select an installation location outside the robot's
workcell where it can immediately be reached in an emergency.
Possible mounting locations include immediately next to the workcell gate, on a nearby desk,
or other readily accessible location.
Additional Information
: Refer to Front Panel Dimensions on page 150 for more
information.
!
DANGER:
A remote High Power push-button must be installed outside of the
robot's workspace.
Connecting the Front Panel
You can connect the Front Panel either directly to the XFP connector on the XSYSTEM cable
(A), or to the Front Panel cable (B).
