AFD1000
Manual
The bolt pattern on the Carriage has been designed to facilitate process equipment
installation. The Carriage has (16) sixteen M6x1 mounting holes with a depth of
0.40 inch (10 mm) to provide secure attachment points. The mounting holes are
spaced 5 inches (127 mm) across and on 1 inch (25.4 mm) centers along the length
of the Carriage. (See Figure 1) The Carriage also has (4) four 5mm dowel pin holes
to facilitate alignment. (See Figure 1 for location) These dowel pin holes are
oversized to allow the pins to be glued into place using Loctite 609, or equivalent.
DO NOT press pins into the AFD Carriage as this will damage the Linear Rails.
Caution: The Fastener Tightening Torque Specs chart in Section 6.0 should
be used to determine proper fastener length and torque for fasteners into the
Carriage. This is to prevent pull-out of the Carriage helicoil inserts.
Fasteners must not exceed a depth of 0.40 inches (10 mm) into the Carriage
as this could damage the Linear Rails.
4.2 Mounting the
1000 Series
The basic configuration of the
1000 Series
force device allows attachment to a
stationary fixture or a robotic manipulator mounting flange. Specifying an AFD1000 -
1, -2, or -3 determines which Mounting Bracket is supplied. Adapter plates or
"quick-change" attachments can be used as well for mounting. The
1000 Series
has (2) two 4mm dowel pins pressed into the base for location and alignment of the
cover and Mounting Brackets.
4.2.1 Mounting the AFD1000-1 Vertical and AFD1000-2 Horizontal
The
AFD1100
-1 and
AFD1100
-2 are supplied with a standard Mounting Bracket
with a 90 mm three hole mounting pattern, See Figure 2. All three holes should be
utilized to secure the Mounting Bracket to the robot mounting flange. If the
Mounting Bracket is supplied blank or additional holes are required, it must first be
removed from the device before drilling. Four cap screws are used to attach the
Mounting Bracket to the
1100 Series
. Once the Mounting Bracket is removed,
mounting holes may be placed anywhere within the crosshatched area shown in
Figure 2.
PushCorp, Inc.
will supply engineering support to determine the mounting
hole locations at no cost.
After drilling the required hole pattern, remove any burrs and clean any machining
residue from the Mounting Bracket. The Mounting Bracket can then be reattached.
