Transportation And Storage - Omron iX3 565 User Manual

A.3 Transportation and Storage
The robot base is shipped with the inner arms attached. The outer arms are in a cardboard
box, assembled in pairs. The platform is shipped fully assembled, but separate from the robot
base and outer arms. The theta drive shaft is shipped with U-joints attached, but separate from
the robot and platform.
Use the following procedure to unpack the robot.
1. Remove the top of the shipping crate.
2. Remove all cardboard boxes from inside the crate. These will include the outer arms,
theta drive shaft, and platform.
3. Remove all fasteners (screws and lags) holding the crate sides to the base, and lift off
the crate sides.
The four sides will come off as a single piece, so this requires two people lifting from
opposite sides of the crate. You will be left with the robot base, with the iCS-ECAT and
inner arms attached to the pallet. The robot base is held to the pallet with tie-downs.
4. Remove the robot tie-downs.
5. After the robot tie-downs are removed, the robot and accessories can be relocated to com-
plete this procedure.
