General
This section details how to orient and secure the robot to the foundation in order
to safely run the robot. The requirements for the foundations are shown in
Requirements, foundation on page 52.
For suspended mounting, see Setting the system parameters for a suspended or
tilted robot on page 67.
Bolting requirements
When bolting a base plate or the base to a concrete floor, follow the general
instructions for expansion-shell bolts. The screw joint must be able to withstand
the stress loads defined in section Pre-installation procedure on page 50.

sleeves must be used to secure the bolted joint.
