Robot Installation
2.1 Transport and Storage

This equipment must be shipped and stored in a temperature-controlled environment, within the range 10 to +60 C (14 to 140 F). The recommended humidity range is 5 to 90 percent, non-condensing. It should be shipped and stored in the Adept-supplied packaging, which is designed to prevent damage from normal shock and vibration. You should protect the package from excessive shock and vibration. The robots must always be stored and shipped in an upright position in a clean, dry area that is free from condensation. Do not lay the crate on its side or any other position: this could damage the robot.

2.2

Unpacking and Inspecting the Adept Equipment

Before Unpacking
Carefully inspect all shipping crates for evidence of damage during transit. If any damage is indicated, request that the carriers agent be present at the time the container is unpacked.

Upon Unpacking
Before signing the carriers delivery sheet, please compare the actual items received (not just the packing slip) with your equipment purchase order and verify that all items are present and that the shipment is correct and free of visible damage. If the items received do not match the packing slip, or are damaged, do not sign the receipt. Contact Adept as soon as possible. If the items received do not match your order, please contact Adept immediately. Inspect each item for external damage as it is removed from its container. If any damage is evident, contact Adept (see Section 1.9 on page 18). Retain all containers and packaging materials. These items may be necessary to settle claims or, at a later date, to relocate equipment.

Adept Cobra s350 Users Guide, Rev. C

Chapter 2 - Robot Installation

2.3

Repacking for Relocation


If the robot or other equipment needs to be relocated, reverse the steps in the installation procedures that follow. Reuse all original packing containers and materials and follow all safety notes used for installation. Improper packaging for shipment will void your warranty. Before unbolting the robot from the mounting surface, fold the outer arm against the Joint 2 hardstops to help centralize the center of gravity. The robot must always be shipped in an upright orientation. Specify this to the carrier if the robot is to be shipped.

2.4

Environmental and Facility Requirements


The Adept robot system installation must meet the operating environment requirements shown in the following table.

Table 2-1. Robot System Operating Environment Requirements Ambient temperature Humidity Altitude Pollution degree Robot protection class Note: See Section 8.1 for robot dimensions. 5 to 40 C (41 to 104 F) 5 to 90%, noncondensing up to 2000 m (6500 ft.) 2 IP-20 (NEMA Type 1)

Worker A

Worker B
Figure 2-1. Transporting Robot

CAUTION: Do not hold the robot by parts other than those shown above.

Mounting Surface
The Adept Cobra s350 robot is designed to be mounted on a smooth, flat, level surface. The mounting surface must be rigid enough to prevent vibration and flexing during robot operation. Adept recommends a 25 mm (1 in.) thick steel plate mounted to a rigid tube frame. Excessive vibration or mounting flexure will degrade robot performance. Figure 2-2 shows the mounting hole pattern for the Adept Cobra s350 robot. NOTE: On the under-side of the base there are two holes that can be used as locating points for user-installed dowel pins in the mounting surface. See Figure 2-2. Using locating pins can improve the ability to remove and reinstall the robot in the same position. The Adept Cobra s350 robot can be mounted on a moving platform with proper attention paid to adequately supporting the robot cabling. The motor/encoder cable connecting the robot to the MB-40R is not designed to withstand repeated bending operations and has a minimum recommended bend radius of 200 mm. The connectors on this cable are not designed to support any dynamic forces and Adept always advises users to support the weight of the cable with external supports and tie-downs. Any additional user cabling should be installed with user-designed cabling supports that do not use these motor/encoder connectors as attachment points for auxiliary cabling.

Connecting 24 VDC Power to MB-40R Servo Controller

3. Crimp the pins onto the wires using the crimping tool recommended in Table 3-4. 4. Insert the pins into the connector. Confirm that the +24 V and Ground wires are in the correct terminals in the plug. 5. Install a user-supplied ring lug (for an M3 screw) on the shield at the MB-40R end of the cable. 6. Prepare the opposite end of the cable for connection to the user-supplied 24 VDC power supply, including a terminal to attach the cable shield to frame ground.

Installing the 24 VDC Cable


1. Connect one end of the shielded 24 VDC cable to your user-supplied 24 VDC power supply. See Figure 3-2. The cable shield should be connected to frame ground on the power supply. Do not turn on the 24 VDC power until instructed to do so in Chapter 5. 2. Plug the mating connector end of the 24 VDC cable into the 24 VDC connector on the interface panel on the back of the MB-40R. The cable shield should be connected to the ground point on the interface panel.

Specifications are established at nominal line voltage. Low line voltage can affect robot performance. NOTE: The Adept robot system is intended to be installed as a piece of equipment in a permanently-installed system. DANGER: AC power installation must be performed by a skilled and instructed person - see the Adept Robot Safety Guide. During installation, unauthorized third parties must be prevented from turning on power through the use of fail-safe lockout measures. Facility Overvoltage Protection The user must protect the robot from excessive overvoltages and voltage spikes. If the country of installation requires a CE-certified installation, or compliance with IEC 1131-2, the following information may be helpful: IEC 1131-2 requires that the installation must ensure that Category II overvoltages (i.e., line spikes not directly due to lightning strikes) are not exceeded. Transient overvoltages at the point of connection to the power source shall be controlled not to exceed overvoltage Category II, i.e., not higher than the impulse voltage corresponding to the rated voltage for the basic insulation. The user-supplied equipment or transient suppressor shall be capable of absorbing the energy in the transient. In the industrial environment, nonperiodic over-voltage peaks may appear on mains power supply lines as a result of power interruptions to high-energy equipment (such as a blown fuse on one branch in a 3-phase system). This will cause high-current pulses at relatively low voltage levels. The user shall take the necessary steps to prevent damage to the robot system (such as by interposing a transformer). See IEC 1131-4 for additional information.

Grounding the Adept Robot System

3.8

Grounding the Adept Robot System


Proper grounding is essential for safe and reliable robot operation. Follow these recommendations to properly ground your robot system.

Ground Point on Robot Base


The user can install a ground wire at the robot base to ground the robot. See Figure 3-6. The user is responsible for supplying the ground wire to connect to earth ground.

Ground Point

Figure 3-6. Ground Point on Robot Base

Ground Point on MotionBlox-40R


The user can install a ground wire at the MB-40R chassis. Use the hole below the MB-40R interface panel - see the following figure. The user should provide a ground wire and use the provided M3 screw and external tooth lockwasher to connect to earth ground. Make sure to tighten the screw on the ground wire to create a proper ground connection. Optionally, two tapped holes are provided to attach user-supplied strain relief.

Ground Point

Figure 3-7. Earth Ground Location on MB-40R

Robot-Mounted Equipment Grounding


The Adept Cobra s350 Joint 3 quill and tool flange are not reliably grounded to the robot base. If hazardous voltages are present at any user-supplied robot-mounted equipment or tooling, you must install a ground connection from that equipment/tooling to the ground point on the robot base. Hazardous voltages can be considered anything in excess of 30 VAC (42.4 VAC peak) or 60 VDC.

Adept Cobra s350 Users Guide, Rev. C

35

Chapter 3 - System Cable Installation

See also Figure 8-3 on page 75 for the grounding point on the tool flange.

DANGER: Failing to ground robot-mounted equipment or tooling that uses hazardous voltages could lead to injury or death of a person touching the end-effector when an electrical fault condition exists.

3.9

Installing User-Supplied Safety Equipment


The user is responsible for installing safety barriers to protect personnel from coming in contact with the robot unintentionally. Depending on the design of the workcell, safety gates, light curtains, and emergency stop devices can be used to create a safe environment. Read the Adept Robot Safety Guide for a discussion of safety issues. Refer to the Adept SmartController Users Guide for information on connecting safety equipment into the system through the XUSR connector on the SmartController. There is a detailed section on Emergency Stop circuits and diagrams on recommended E-Stop configurations.

Optional I/O Products


These optional products are also available for use with digital I/O: XIO Breakout Cable, 5 meters long, with flying leads on users end. See page 48 for information. This cable is not compatible with the XIO Termination Block mentioned below. XIO Termination Block, with terminals for user wiring, plus input and output status LEDs. Connects to the XIO connector with 6-foot cable. See the Adept XIO Termination Block Installation Guide for details.

XIO Input Signals


The 12 input channels are arranged in two banks of six. Each bank is electrically isolated from the other bank and is optically isolated from the MB-40Rs ground. The six inputs within each bank share a common source/sink line. The inputs are accessed through direct connection to the XIO connector (see Table 4-6 on page 44), or through the optional XIO Termination Block. See the documentation supplied with the Termination Block for details. The XIO inputs cannot be used for REACTI programming, high-speed interrupts, or vision triggers.

Using Digital I/O on MB-40R XIO Connector

XIO Output Signals


The eight digital outputs share a common, high-side (sourcing) driver IC. The driver is designed to supply any kind of load with one side connected to ground. It is designed for a range of user-provided voltages from 10 to 24 VDC, and each channel is capable of up to 0.7 A of current. This driver has overtemperature protection, current limiting, and shorted-load protection. In the event of an output short or other overcurrent situation, the affected output of the driver IC turns off and back on automatically to reduce the temperature of the IC. The driver draws power from the primary 24 VDC input to the robot through a self-resetting polyfuse. The outputs are accessed through direct connection to the XIO connector (see Table 4-6 on page 44), or through the optional XIO Termination Block. See the documentation supplied with the Termination Block for details. XIO Output Specifications Table 4-8.

System Operation
5.1 Brakes

The robot has a braking system that decelerates the robot in an emergency condition, such as when the emergency stop circuit is open or a robot joint passes its softstop. The E-Stop is a dual-channel, passive E-Stop that supports Category 3 CE safety requirements. It supports a customer-programmable E-Stop delay that maintains motor power for a programmed time after the E-Stop is activated. This customizable feature allows the motors to decelerate under servo control to a stop. This can aid in eliminating coasting or overshooting on low friction mechanisms. It can also aid in the reduction of wear on highly-geared, high-inertia mechanisms, while maintaining safety compliance per all standards. The braking system will not prevent you from moving the robot manually once the robot has stopped (and High Power has been removed). In addition, Joints 3 and 4 have electromechanical brakes. The brakes are released when high power is enabled. When High Power is turned off, the brakes engage and hold the positions of Joints 3 and 4. There is a Brake Release button for Joints 3 and 4 on the MB-40R and a Brake Release button on the robot itself. See Brake Release Button on MB-40R on page 40 for information on the Brake Release button on the MB-40R. The Programmable E-Stop delay can be set up in Adept ACE, in the robot editor. The default setting is appropriate for most applications. See the following section.

Programmable E-Stop Delay


To set the programmable E-Stop delay from the ACE software, go to the object editor for the robot, and enable Expert Access: Object > Expert Access NOTE: This requires a password to enable. Once enabled, you will be able to see and modify the following three parameters (among others): Auto Mode E-Stop Shutdown Timeout Hold-to-Run E-Stop Shutdown Timeout Manual Mode E-Stop Shutdown Timeout Each of these is the time, in seconds, after that mode E-Stop is asserted, in which V+ is allowed to decelerate the robot, engage the brakes, and shut down power before the servo nodes automatically shut down power. The value can be set from 0 (immediate power-off) to 0.512 seconds. If the deceleration is too slow, or the brake-on delay too long, the servo will automatically cut power.

Chapter 5 - System Operation

Brake Release Button


Under some circumstances you may want to manually position Joint 3 or Joint 4. For such instances, a Brake Release button is provided. When system power is on, pressing this button releases the brake, which allows movement of Joint 3 and Joint 4. NOTE: 24 Volt robot power must be ON to release the brakes. If this button is pressed while high power is on, high power will automatically shut down.

Figure 5-1. Brake Release Button for Third and Fourth Axes

CAUTION: When the Brake Release button is pressed, Joint 3 may drop to the bottom of its travel. To prevent possible damage to the equipment, make sure that Joint 3 is supported while releasing the brake and verify that the end-effector or other installed tooling is clear of all obstructions.

Manual mode initiates software restrictions on robot speed, commanding no more than 250 mm/sec. 4. High Power On/Off Switch and Lamp Controls high power, which is the flow of current to the robot motors. Enabling high power is a two-step process. An Enable Power request must be sent from the user-supplied PC, an executing program, or the T2 pendant. Once this request has been made and the High Power On/Off lamp/button is blinking, the operator must press and release this button, and high power will be enabled. NOTE: The use of the blinking High Power button can be configured (or eliminated) in software. Your system may not require this step. NOTE: If enabled, the Front Panel button must be pressed while blinking (default time-out is 10 seconds). If the button stops blinking, you must enable power again. 5. Emergency Stop Switch The E-Stop is a dual-channel, passive E-Stop that supports Category 3 CE safety requirements. Pressing this button turns off high power to the robot motors.

Optional Equipment Installation


6.1 Installing End-Effectors

The user is responsible for providing and installing any end-effector or other end-of-arm tooling. End-effectors can be attached to the tool flange using four M6 screws. See Figure 8-3 on page 75 for a detailed dimension drawing of the tool flange. A 6 mm diameter x 12 mm dowel pin (user-supplied) fits in the through-hole in the tool flange and can be used as a keying or anti-rotation device in a user-designed end-effector. If hazardous voltages are present at the end-effector, you must install a ground connection from the base of the robot or the outer link to the end-effector. See Grounding the Adept Robot System on page 35. NOTE: A threaded hole is provided on the tool flange. The user may attach a ground wire through the quill, connecting the outer link and the tool flange.

6.2

Removing and Reinstalling the Tool Flange


The tool flange can be removed and reinstalled. If the flange is removed, it must be reinstalled in exactly the same position to avoid losing the calibration for the system. There is a setscrew on the flange that holds the rotational position of the flange on the quill shaft. The setscrew contacts a flat section of the quill shaft. Follow the procedures below to remove and replace the flange assembly.

Removing the Flange


1. Turn off high power and system power to the robot. 2. Remove any attached end-effectors or other tooling from the flange. 3. Use a 2.5 mm Allen driver to loosen the setscrew (see Figure 6-1 on page 58). 4. Loosen the two M4 socket-head cap screws. 5. Slide the flange down slowly until it is off the shaft.

Reinstalling the Flange


1. Slide the flange up on the quill shaft as far as it will go, and rotate it until the setscrew is lined up with the flat section on the quill shaft.

CAUTION: The setscrew must align with the flat section of the shaft or damage to the quill will result.

2. Support the flange while using a 2.5 mm Allen driver to tighten the setscrew to finger tightness. Do not over-tighten the setscrew because this will cause the flange to be off-center from the quill shaft. 3. Tighten one of the M4 screws part of the way, then tighten the other one the same amount. Alternate between the two screws so there is even pressure on both when they are tight. The torque specification for each screw is 8 Nm (70 in-lb).

The Adept Cobra s350 CR/ESD Cleanroom Option is a modification to the standard robot that certifies the robot to meet the Class 4 Airborne Particulate Cleanliness Limits as defined by ISO Standard 14644 (Class 10 for Federal Standard 209E), as well as special requirements for control of Electrostatic Discharges to the robot surface. NOTE: Federal Class 1 Limits (ISO 3) can be achieved by running the robot at lower speeds and increasing the vacuum flow from the robot base. This option is a factory-installed configuration. Changes to the robot include the addition of bellows assemblies mounted at the Joint 3 quill, increased sealing at the joints, fully sealed access covers, and a vacuum system to evacuate the arm.

ESD Control Features


The Adept s350 CR/ESD robot is compatible with common magnetic semiconductor ESD control measures. The surface of the robot is painted so that it is resistively coupled to the robot ground. The bellows are also made of a resistive material that will conduct electrical charges to the robot ground. This treatment precludes the buildup of any electrical charge (such as tribocharging) on the robot surfaces. In addition, it is formulated to provide a significant resistance to ground so that charged surfaces brought in close proximity to the robot will slowly leak into the robot ground - rather than arc quickly to ground and create a magnetic field event. Contact Adept for your specific application details.

Maintenance

Bellows Replacement
Check the bellows periodically for cracks, wear, or damage. Replace the upper and lower bellows if necessary, using the procedures below. Adept part numbers: 05555-000 (upper) and 05556-000 (lower). Procedure for Lower Bellows Replacement 1. Remove the lower clamp ring from the bearing ring by loosening the screw on the clamp. See Figure 9-3. 2. Remove the tool flange. Refer to Section 6.2 on page 57 for the tool flange removal procedure. 3. Remove the upper clamp ring by loosening the screw on the clamp. 4. Slide the old bellows down off of the quill.
