    Introduction Training Introduction Caution: This document is intended to be reviewed before an installation, it is not intended to substitute for the relevant technical publications. This is a training document. It is not intended to take the place of the Installation Guide, its purpose is to provide additional information about a Gen 2 Dual Robot installation for service personnel who have installed Gen 1 systems, but who have not yet installed a Gen 2 system.

  • Page 3: Required Tools

    Training Note: The installation procedure assumes that the system has been unpacked according to the Scalar i6000 Unpacking and Removal Instructions. The robots are shipped in the modules. The robots and the modules must be unpacked and prepared according to the instructions to ensure the installation goes smoothly.
  • Page 4 Aligning and Bolting the Frames (Same as Gen 1 Task) Using the corner edges of the frames as a rough alignment, position the frames together so the attachment bolt holes are aligned. Verify that the attachment holes are aligned. If necessary, adjust the frame legs to better align the attachment bolt holes.
  • Page 5 Positioning the System Unit (Same as Gen 1 Task) For more information on location specifications, see the Scalar i6000 Planning Guide. Verify the placement of the system unit. The left parking module is at the left end of a dual-robotics multi-module Note library.
  • Page 6 Lowering the System Unit Leveling Legs (Same as Gen 1 Task) Required tools: 24 mm open end wrench, 6 mm hex wrench or 16 mm open end wrench. On only the four outer edge corner legs of the system unit, use the 24 mm open end wrench to loosen the four locking nuts.
  • Page 7 Be sure to set the level in the exact spot as in Step 1. Wait 10 seconds for the level to completely settle and take note of the angle on the display. Scalar i6000 Installation Guide Super Doc...
  • Page 8 0.1 degree, you must re-calibrate the level. For more information, see "Calibrating the Digital Level" in the Scalar i6000 Installation Guide. If the variance between the readings are within the 0.1 degree limit, the level is within compliance and is ready to be used.
  • Page 9 Make sure the digital level is not resting on any frame welds or debris that Note would cause an inaccurate reading. To find the small circular frame welds, run your finger tips over the spot where you are going to place the level. Scalar i6000 Installation Guide Super Doc...

  • Page 12 Use the 24 mm open end wrench to raise the leveling leg lock nuts to the top and tighten them against the welded nut. Ensure that you do not take the leveling legs out of adjustment during this Note process. Step 2: Installing the Gen 2 Hardware Once all the frames are bolted together and level, there are a few pieces of hardware to install.
