5.
Using a vacuum cleaner, remove all chips and debris from the holes
(and surrounding area) drilled in step 4.
6.
Insert an expansion bolt anchor into each of the three holes in the
floor. Ensure that the threaded end of each bolt anchor is toward the
bottom of each hole, as shown in Figure 3-5.
7.
Reposition the plate over the anchor holes in the floor using care to
align the three plate-to-floor holes with the anchor holes. Also,
ensure that the plate is positioned such that the "footprint" for the
robot is properly oriented relative to the workcell.
8.
Using a spirit level, verify that the top (mounting) surface of the
plate is level. The surface must be horizontal within ±3 degrees. If
the plate is not level, insert shims between the plate and the floor to
bring the plate within specifications. The shims should be at least
three inches (75 mm) in diameter and have cutouts provided to fit
around the anchor bolts.
9.Insert a 1/2-13 x 4 inch bolt, fitted with a lock washer and a flat washer,
through the holes in the plate into each of the three plate-to-floor
anchor holes. Tighten the bolts to a recommended torque of 40 foot-
pounds.
10. Re-check the robot mounting surface of the plate using the spirit
level and re-shim as required to bring the mounting surface
horizontal within ±3 degrees.
3.6 Installing a Mounting Spool
The following sequence details the installation of the robot-mounting
spool to the floor. (See Figure 3-6.)
1.
Drill and tap three (3) 1/2-13 UNC-2B mounting holes (through), as
shown in Figure 3-2, for robot-to-spool attachment.
2.
Prepare the opposite flange of the mounting spool by drilling three
(3) 5/8-inch (16 mm) diameter through holes, as shown in Figure 3-3,
for spool-to-floor anchoring.
3.
Place the spool at the installation site exactly where the robot is to be
installed. Ensure that the spool is positioned such that the
"footprint" for the robot is properly oriented relative to the workcell.
Transfer the locations of the three spool-to-floor mounting holes
directly to the floor.
