Attaching the Outer Arms and Platform
The Hornet 565 robot is available with either a rotating platform (J4) or a fixed platform. The
fixed platform model does not use a J4 motor or a theta drive shaft.
The Hornet 565 robot platform gets attached to the inner arms by the outer arms.
NOTE: Except for attaching the outer arms and, for the J4 platform, the theta drive
shaft, the platform is shipped fully assembled.
One pair of outer arms attaches between each inner arm and the platform. No tools are
needed.
For the J4 platform only: Both the theta drive shaft attachment on the J4 motor and the plat-
form are offset by about 2 in. from the centers of the robot base and tool flange. The platform
should be attached so that its shaft aligns between the Joint 1 and Joint 3 ball studs on the
robot base. Joint 1 should connect to motor 1, which is immediately to the right of the Status
Display panel on the robot base. See the preceding figure.
WARNING: Incorrect alignment of the platform with the robot base will result
in incorrect robot performance and possible damage to the drive shaft.
Each outer arm has a ball joint socket at each end.
l
The inner arms and the platform have corresponding pairs of ball studs.
l
The procedure for attaching the outer arms is the same for both platforms.
l
1. Attach one pair of outer arms to each inner arm.
