1. Safety Safety Setup Brooks uses caution, warning, and danger labels to convey critical information required for the safe and proper operation of the hardware and software. Read and comply with all labels to prevent personal injury and damage to the equipment.
Do not override or bypass the emergency stop circuit. Recycling and Hazardous Materials Brooks Automation complies with the EU Directive 2002/96/EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The end user must responsibly dispose of the product and its components when disposal is required.
Appendix J: Robot Anatomy for detailed illustrations. The PreciseFlex 400 Robot is a 4-axis robot that includes an embedded Guidance 1400B 4-axis motion controller, a 48 VDC motor power supply, and a 24 VDC logic power supply located inside the base of the robot. In addition, it may optionally include an electric gripper and electric gripper controller.
System Components PreciseFlex 400 Robot NOTE: See Appendix J: Robot Anatomy for detailed illustrations. The PreciseFlex 400 Robot (pictured in Figure 2-2 and defined in Table 2-2) is a 4-axis robot that may optionally include an electric or pneumatic gripper.
1000A/B Controllers Manual (G1X0-DI-A0010). Low-Voltage Power Supplies The PreciseFlex 400 Robot has an integrated 125-Watt, 24 VDC Power Supply that accepts a range of AC input from 90 V to 264 V and an integrated 400 W, 48 VDC Power Supply for the motors.
Manual Control Mode to a maximum of 250 mm per second for safety. While the PreciseFlex 400 is a light-duty robot that can only apply approximately 20-60 Newtons of force, it is very important for operators to keep their hands, arms and especially their head out of the robot’s operating volume.
AC line power is turned on. The PreciseFlex 400 power supplies have an input range of 100 to 240 VAC, +/- 10%, 50/60 Hz. Inrush current can be as high as 100 Amps at 240 VAC for short periods of time. The power supplies are protected against voltage surge to 2000 Volts.
267 to the desired delay. If this delay is set to 0, the high-power relay will be disabled within 1ms. For the PreciseFlex 400 robot, the shoulder, elbow, and wrist axes do not have mechanical brakes. Therefore, leaving the motor power enabled for 0.5 sec allows the servos to decelerate the robot.
Based on Table A2 from ISO/TS 15066, Brooks has selected the maximum impact force (transient force) in free space to be 280 N for the hand and forearm and 130 N for the skull for a collaborative robot.

A further reduction in force is set by collaborative force limits in software, so that the clamping/squeezing force (quasi-static) does not exceed 60 N. See Table 3-1. Table 3-1: PreciseFlex 400 Maximum Forces, Newtons PreciseFlex 500 gm Unlimited Current Limited...
(4) M6 SHCS mounting screws located as shown above. Tool Mounting The PreciseFlex 400 is typically supplied with an electric gripper. In some cases, a pneumatic gripper may be supplied by PreciseFlex or by the end user. However, the standard robot does not include pneumatic lines, so if pneumatic tooling is needed, the robot must be ordered with pneumatic lines installed.
Both manuals are available in PDF format and are also contained in the PreciseFlex Library. Power Requirements The PreciseFlex 400 power supplies have an input range of 100 to 240 VAC, +/- 10%, 50/60 Hz. The robots are equipped with an IEC electrical socket that accepts country specific electrical cords.
Brooks maintains a record of PAC files shipped with each robot Serial Number. If the PAC files have been corrupted, it is possible to get a back up copy from Brooks. The backup copy will contain the factory configuration and calibration data, but will not contain any changes, including any new calibration data, made after the robot has left the factory.
3.2.H4 or later and the PAC files must be changed to support the robot with Linear Axis. If a robot is installed on, or removed from, a linear axis new PAC files must be obtained from Brooks and installed in the robot controller and the robot must be re-calibrated, using CALPP_Rev21 or later.
Brooks makes this routine available to customers upon request. This routine is also available in the PreciseFlex Command Server Software for the PF400.
General Belt Tensioning The PreciseFlex 400 has been designed to make belt tensioning very simple. Prior to 2014, each axis had a spring pre-load system that sets the correct belt tension when the axis motor mount plate screws are loosened.
Installing the Optional GIO Board Brooks sells a digital IO board that provides 12 inputs and 8 outputs as an option. This board may be installed either in the Z column of the robot for standalone PF400 robots, or in the Linear Axis extrusion for robots with the Linear Axis option.
