Robot Mounting
Mounting Surface
The Adept 550 is designed to be mounted on a smooth, flat, level tabletop. The mounting
structure must be rigid enough to prevent vibration and flexing during robot operation.
Excessive vibration or mounting flexure will degrade robot performance. Figure 4-1
shows the mounting hole pattern for the Adept 550.

Mounting Procedure
1. Using the dimensions shown in Figure 4-1, drill and tap the surface for four
7/16 - 14 UNC x 1.50" or a metric size of M12 - 1.75 x 36mm machine bolts (bolts
not provided). See Table 4-1 for bolt and torque specifications.
2. Place the robot on the mounting surface and secure it with four bolts. Tighten
bolts to 700 Kgfcm (50 ft-lb).
3. Move joints 1, 2, 3, and 4 through their range of motion and check for significant
binding or roughness. You will need to use the Brake Release button to move
Joint 3; see Chapter 6. If you encounter any problems, contact Adept Customer
Service.
NOTE: Check the tightness of the mounting bolts one week after initial
installation, and then recheck every 6 months. See Chapter 7 for periodic
maintenance.
