Align The Platform With The Robot Base - Omron iX3 565 User Manual

3.4 Installing the Platform
1. Align the platform (4 axis version only).
2. Attach the outer arms.
3. Attach the platform.
4. Attach the theta drive shaft (4 axis version only).

Align the Platform with the Robot Base

Robots with the 4 axis option include a platform that must be aligned with the robot base for
correct operation. These platforms are asymmetric because of the drive shaft connection point.
Both the theta drive shaft attachment on the robot base and on the platform are offset by about
50 mm from the centers of the robot base and tool flange. The platform should be attached so
that the drive shaft aligns with the attachment points on the base and the platform.
IMPORTANT: Robots without the 4 axis option do not need alignment because
the platform is symmetrical.
CAUTION: PROPERTY DAMAGE RISK
!
Incorrect alignment of the platform with the robot base will result in incorrect
robot performance and possible damage to the drive shaft.
