The platform is installed flange-down.
l Ensure that the numbers on the platform match the joint numbers on the
underside of the robot base. This places the platform tool flange closest to the
Status Display. See Clocking the Platform to the Base on page 37.
l Take care not to trap debris between the ball studs and their sockets.
Configuration
If the replacement platform has the same part number as the old platform, the robot does not
need to be reconfigured.
If the replacement platform is a different type of platform, for instance, replacing a 185°
platform with a P31 platform, the new configuration needs to be loaded using Adept ACE
software.
Binary SPEC files are available in the SPECDATA directory on the CompactFlash card of the
Adept controller. These files contain configuration data for the available Adept Quattro robot
platforms. The robot will not operate correctly if the wrong SPEC file is loaded. (If these files
are not on your CompactFlash card, you can copy them from your V+ system CD-ROM.)
Platform Data Files:
Platform Tool Rotation SPEC File
P31 ±46.25° QP09503.SPC
P30 0° QP09730.SPC
P32 ±92.5° QP09732.SPC
P34 ±185° QP09734.SPC
From the Adept ACE software:
1. Open the robot object editor.
You can do this by double-clicking on the robot in the tree structure pane.
2. Click the Configure tab.
3. Select Load Spec File . . .
4. Select Load Platform File.
Click Next.
5. Select the new platform from the list.
Click Next.
The wizard will say Working - Please wait, and then return to the robot object editor.
