PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
Plan the location. Make sure the area where the robot is installed has the following:
●A grounded power source. Check the robot’s serial tag for the correct amps, voltage, phase, and cycle. All wiring should be completed by qualified personnel and comply with your region’s electrical codes.
●Air pressure source. The robot requires a working pressure of 80 PSI and a maximum pressure of 100 PSI for gripping and vacuum release.
●Clearance for safe operation and maintenance. Make sure there is enough clearance around the robot for movement, maintenance and servicing. Be sure the robot has proper clearance to avoid structures, utilities, overhead cranes, material hoppers and loading pipes, as well as other machines and equipment. Be sure that the maximum envelope is clearly marked and protected from entry by personnel during operation. The maxi- mum envelope is the volume of space encompassing the maximum designed movement of ALL robot parts, including the end of arm tooling, work piece and attachments.
Perform the installation in the following order:
❒Prepare the platen.
❒Move the robot into position on the platen and attach.
❒Connect the robot cables.
❒Adjust the grip and strip movement WITHOUT air pressure (manually move the arm).
❒Attach air line and apply pressure.
❒Make adjustments to the robot (grip, speed, etc.)
❒Run robot in manual mode, making any adjustments needed to prevent damage to the robot, mold machine, and parts. Check interface to assure that mold machine does not close on robot arm.
❒Run robot in automatic mode. Do this step only after robot has been thoroughly tested in the manual mode to prevent damage to equipment and parts.
