eCobra 600 and 800 Robots with EtherCAT
24402-000 Rev B
Mounting Surface
Mount eCobra robots on a smooth, flat, level surface that is rigid enough to prevent vibration
and flexing during robot operation. OMRON recommends a 25 mm thick steel plate mounted
to a rigid tube frame. The following figure shows the mounting hole pattern.
The underside of the base has a slot (A above) and hole (B above) you can use as locating
points for dowel pins in the mounting surface. Using locating pins allows you to remove and
reinstall the robot in the same position.
IMPORTANT:
Excessive vibration or mounting flexure degrades robot per-
formance.

Mounting Procedure
Use the following procedure to mount the robot.
1. Use the dimensions in the previous figure, drill and tap the mounting surface for four
M12 - 1.75 x 36 mm (or 7/16 - 14 UNC x 1.50 inch) machine bolts (user-supplied).
2. If you are using dowel pins for locating the robot, insert those in the mounting surface.
