Mounting Surface

The Cobra 350 robot is designed to be mounted on a smooth, flat, level surface. The mounting
surface must be rigid enough to prevent vibration and flexing during robot operation. We
recommend a 25 mm (1 inch) thick steel plate mounted to a rigid tube frame. Excessive vibra-
tion or mounting flexure will degrade robot performance. The following figure shows the
mounting hole pattern for the Cobra 350 robot.
NOTE: On the under-side of the base there are two holes that can be used as loc-
ating points for user-installed dowel pins in the mounting surface. These are
shown in the following figure. Using locating pins can improve the ability to
remove and reinstall the robot in the same position.
The Cobra 350 robot can be mounted on a moving platform with proper attention paid to
adequately supporting the robot cabling. The motor/encoder cable connecting the robot to the
eMB-40R is not designed to withstand repeated bending operations and has a minimum
recommended bend radius of 200 mm. The connectors on this cable are not designed to sup-
port any dynamic forces and we always advise users to support the weight of the cable with
external supports and tie-downs. Any additional user cabling should be installed with user-
designed cabling supports that do not use these motor/encoder connectors as attachment
points for auxiliary cabling.
