Base Table - Epson GX Series Manual

Industrial Robot: SCARA Robots GX series Manual
The Controllers used with Manipulators with protected-models do not have protection against harsh environments. The
Controller should be installed in a location that meets its operating environment requirements.
WARNING
Always use a circuit breaker for the Controller's power supply. Failure to use a circuit breaker may result in an
electrical shock hazard or malfunction due to an electrical leakage.
Select the correct circuit breaker based on the Controller that you are using. For details, refer to the following
manual.
"Controller Manual"
CAUTION
When cleaning the Manipulator, do not rub it strongly with alcohol or benzene. Coated surfaces may lose their
luster.

4.3.2 Base Table

A base table for anchoring the Manipulator is not supplied. The base table must be fabricated or obtained by the customer. The
shape and size of the base table vary depending on the application of the robot system. As a reference when designing the base
table, the requirements from the Manipulator side are shown 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 it operates at maximum acceleration/deceleration. Ensure that the base table has enough
strength by using reinforcing materials such as crossbeams.
The torque and reaction force produced by the movement of the Manipulator are as follows:
Maximum torque on horizontal surface
Maximum reaction force in horizontal direction
Maximum reaction force in vertical direction
M12 threaded holes are used for mounting the Manipulator on the base table.
Use bolts for mounting the Manipulator that have a strength compliant with ISO 898-1 property class 10.9 or 12.9. The
dimensions are provided in the following sections.
Names of Parts and Their Dimensions
Manipulator Mounting Dimensions
The plate for the Manipulator mounting face should be at least 20 mm thick and made of steel for reducing vibrations. A
surface roughness of 25 μm or less at the maximum height is appropriate.
The base table must be secured to 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 installation surface does not have the proper flatness, the base of the Manipulator may be damaged or
the robot may be unable to operate at maximum performance.
When using a leveler to adjust the height of the base table, use a screw with M16 diameter or more.
