Mounting the Robot Mounting Surface The Adept Cobra i600 and i800 robots are designed to be mounted on a smooth, flat, level surface. The mounting structure must be rigid enough to prevent vibration and flexing during robot operation. Adept recommends a 25 mm (1 in.) thick steel plate mounted to a rigid steel tube frame.
Retain these bolts for possible later relocation of the equipment. 4. Lift the robot and position it directly over the mounting surface. 5. Slowly lower the robot while aligning the base and the tapped mounting holes in the mounting surface. Adept Cobra i600/i800 Robot User’s Guide, Rev G...
