Bolt™ Jr+ Quick Start Guide

Assessing a site
Before setting up Bolt Jr+ you need to
assess the site
, paying particular
attention to the following points:
Is the ground or floor firm enough and level enough? You
might have to use boards or bricks to create a level surface. The
surface needs to be strong enough to take the weight of Bolt
Jr+ itself (390kg) plus the weight of the track (95 kg per
section) or for Bolt Jr+ on Pedestal 264kg plus weights 280kg
of weights (2x140kg).
Does the site have access? You need to make sure you can
either push Bolt Jr+ into position on its wheels or carry it there
using a pallet truck or forklift.
Does the site have a power source with sufficient capacity for
the robot and the correct mains voltage?
–
Bolt Jr+ on Track requires a
230V, single-phase power
supply via 2x16A power connectors
.
–
Bolt Jr+ on Pedestal requires a
230V, single-phase power
supply via a 16Apower connector
.
–
The computer stack that controls Bolt Jr+ (that is, the
desktop computer and the power supply brick for the
RT-14 interface box) are auto-switching and can run on
120-240 Volts AC.
Does the site have unusual environmental attributes that
require specialised protection from extreme temperatures,
humidity, rain, or dust?
Installation safety
Due to the large mass of the rigs and the accelerations they
achieve it is important that they are securely mounted, with the
recommended plates and bolts to a secure and concrete floor.
When using track, ensure that it is properly bolted to the floor.
If bolting the track is not possible, use 140kg of counter
weights on each corner of the track totalling to 560kg.
Make sure there is plenty of clearance around the length of the
track for the trailing cables of the rig to slide along the floor.
