5.1.1 Requirements for adapter plates
The product is normally mounted between the robot arm and the
end effector (customer tool). If required, an adapter plate can be
used on both mounting sides to adapt the product to the
customer's equipment (robot flange, end effector). In this case,
alignment elements (alignment pin and centering collar) allow for
precise positioning. Threaded holes allow for secure fastening.

NOTICE
Risk of material damage caused by incorrect alignment
elements!
Using more than two alignment elements may damage the
product.
•
To align the product to the adapter plate, use an alignment pin
and centering collar.
•
If necessary, you can order customized adapter plates from
SCHUNK on request.
Note the following when configuring the adapter plate:
• The adapter plate must have bore holes for screws and an
alignment pin as well as a centering collar for precise
positioning on the robot and product. The alignment pin and
centering collar prevent unwanted shifting and twisting.
Information about fastening elements on the tool and robot
side is provided in the relevant manuals.
• The adapter plate must be thick enough to ensure the required
depth of engagement for the fastening screws. The adapter
plate must allow for rigid mounting on the product.
• The fastening screws must have the correct length. If the
fastening screws are too long, there will be a gap between the
adapter plate and the product. Fastening screws that are too
short will not provide a secure connection.
• The adapter plate must have a recess with a depth and
diameter that match the centering collar on the product.
• An alignment pin prevents twisting. The alignment pin must not
protrude further from the surface of the adapter plate than
permitted by the corresponding bore hole in the housing of the
product. For more information, see the following notes and
illustrations.
