Chapter 3: Robot Installation
NOTE:
The robot’s base is aluminum and can dent easily if bumped against a
harder surface.
1. Screw in bolts, finger-tight.
2. Verify that the robot's base is squarely mounted (cannot rock back and forth) before tight-
ening the mounting bolts.
3. Install the user-supplied mounting bolts and washers. Tighten bolts to the torque spe-
cified in Robot Mounting Torque on page 37.

For threaded M10 holes, use plain washers and 30 mm M10 bolts.
For 12 mm thru holes, use plain and lock washers on both sides.
NOTE:
Check the mounting bolts one week after initial installation, and then
recheck every 6 months. See Maintenance on page 97 for periodic maintenance.
3.3 Mounting the eCS-ECAT
Dimensions and mounting holes for the eCS-ECAT are presented in Figure 8-6. Clearances
needed for cooling are presented in Robot Physical Dimension Drawings on page 107
NOTE:
112 mm clearance is required in front of the unit to remove the amplifier
from the eCS-ECAT enclosure.
NOTE:
The mounting of the eCS-ECAT and all terminations at the eCS-ECAT
must be performed in accordance with all local and national standards.

The following two dimensions are from the front of the heat sink.

NOTE:
These dimensions assume that the eCS-ECAT has exposure to outside
air, rather than being in a sealed container. Any sealed container would need to
provide sufficient cooling for the eCS-ECAT’s internal fan to be effective.
