AdeptThree User's Guide
Mounting Surface
Due to the very high torque transmitted by the AdeptThree, the robot
MUST be mounted to an extremely rigid structure. Any mounting
structure vibration or flexing will seriously degrade robot performance.
Adept recommends using either a mounting plate or a mounting spool.
Both have proven reliable over extended periods of use, details are given
below. If another type of mounting structure is used, it must adequately
resist vibration and flexure. Whichever method is selected, it must be
supplied by the User.
Plate
The first method of mounting requires a flat steel plate and is mandatory
if the robot is to be mounted directly to the facility floor. The mounting
plate should conform to the following recommended specifications:
•
Material:
•
Diameter:
•
Thickness:
•
Mounting surface flatness:
•
Mounting hole pattern: as shown in Figures 3-2 and 3-3
Mounting the base on any surface other than the
recommended steel plate (or spool) may cause extreme
difficulty if robot recalibration is required.
The User may further facilitate recalibration by designing
a workcell that allows for mounting of the calibration
fixture without extensive dismantling of the workcell.
