Recommendations, quality
The table specifies any recommendations made by ABB:
Base plate
This section details how to secure the base plate to the foundation.
Variable Recommendation
Recommended foundation quality 1 Steel fibre reinforced concrete foundation, 30 kg/m3,
class K30, t=250 mm
Recommended foundation quality 2 Sturdy concrete foundation, double reinforced by ø10
mm steel bars, distance 140 mm, class K25, t=250
Recommended bolt quality and
dimension
Hilti HDA-P, M20 x 250/50 (maximum thickness of
base plate = 50 mm)
Hilti HDA-P, M20 x 250/100 (maximum thickness of
base plate = 100 mm)
Action Note
1. Make sure the foundation is level.
2.
CAUTION!
The base plate weighs 353 kg! All lifting
equipment used must be sized accordingly!
3. Orient base plate in relation to robot work
location using the three grooves in the base
plate.
Shown in figure Base plate, grooves
and holes on page 92.
4. Lift the base plate to its mounting position. Detailed in section Lifting the base plate
on page 89.
5. Use the base plate as a template and drill 16
attachment holes as required by the selected
bolt dimension.
If possible, observe the recommenda-
tions specified in section Recommenda-
tions, quality on page 93. ABB does not
assume any responsibility for other
foundation qualities, due to great
variations in the foundation properties.
6. Fit the base plate and use the levelling bolts to
level the base plate.
Shown in figure Base plate, grooves
and holes on page 92.
7. If required, fit strips of sheet metal underneath
the base plate to fill any gaps.
8. Secure the base plate to the foundation with
screws and sleeves.
9. Recheck the four robot contact surfaces on
the base plate to make sure they are level and
flat.
If they are not, pieces of sheet metal or similar
may be used to bring the base plate to a level
position.
Maximum allowed deviation: 0.1 mm
