Base Table - Epson SCARA GX Series Manual

3.2 Base Table

A base table for anchoring the Manipulator is not supplied. Please make or obtain the base
table for your Manipulator. The shape and size of the base table differs depending on the use
of the robot system. For your reference, we list some Manipulator table requirements here.
The base table must not only be able to bear the weight of the Manipulator but also be able
to withstand the dynamic movement of the Manipulator when the Manipulator operates at
maximum acceleration /deceleration. Ensure that there is enough strength on the base table
by attaching reinforcing materials such as crossbeams.
The torque and reaction force produced by the movement of the Manipulator are as follows:
The threaded holes required for mounting the Table top mounting and Ceiling mounting
Manipulator are M8 or M10.
The threaded holes required for mounting the Wall mounting Manipulator are M8. Use
mounting bolts with specifications conforming to ISO898-1 property class: 10.9 or 12.9.
For dimensions, refer to "2.2 Part Names and Outer Dimensions" and "3.3 Mounting
Dimensions".
The plate for the Manipulator mounting face should be 20 mm thick or more and made of
steel to reduce vibration. The surface roughness of the steel plate should be 25 μm or less.
The table must be secured on the floor or wall to prevent it from moving.
The Manipulator mounting surface should have a flatness of 0.5 mm or less and an
inclination of 0.5 ° or less to a horizontal or vertical surface. If the flatness of the installation
surface is improper, the base may be damaged or the robot may not fully show its
performance.
When using a leveler to adjust the height of the base table, use a screw with M16 diameter
or more.
