CHAPTER 3 Installation
5) Wind the robot cable around the upper part of the robot pedestal so that it
does not hang up on the base mount, then fasten the cable end with adhe-
sive tape.
6) Prepare two looped ropes with the same length to allow a good lifting bal-
ance, then pass each rope through each eyebolt and catch it on the hoist
hook.
7) Slightly lift the hoist so that each rope has light tension to hold the robot. In
this state, remove the bolts securing the robot base to the pallet supplied or
installation base (if robot is to be moved to another installation base).
8) Using caution to keep the balance of the robot and avoid subjecting it to
any strong vibrations and shocks, operate the hoist carefully to move to the
installation base. The angle between each rope and the arm surface should
be kept at 45 degrees or more.
9) Slightly lower the robot on the installation base and temporarily secure it
by tightening the bolts.
(For tightening torque to secure the robot rmly, see the next section, "2-4
Installing the robot".)
10) Remove the ropes, eyebolts and arm clamping stay, then reattach the cover
and the set screws on the X-axis arm. (Be sure to t the set screws and the
cover in position to protect the tapped holes for eyebolts.) Keep the eye-
bolts, arm clamping stay, bolts and pallet for future use in case the robot
needs to be moved or transported.
