NOTE: Adept suggests welding the robot mounting tabs as a last step in the frame
fabrication, using a flat surface as a datum surface during the tack welding
operation.
Gussets
The triangular gussets are an integral part of the frame stiffness. The vibrational strength of a
structural assembly is strongly governed by controlling the shear forces between members. The
250 mm gussets, shown in Figure 2-3, are nominally sufficient for transferring the load from
the vertical members into the horizontal cross pieces. Preferably, gussets should be placed at
the edges of the frame members to transfer the loading into the walls of the members, instead
of the faces, and enable easier cleaning. Some frame designs may benefit from extending these
gussets to 500 mm in the vertical direction, as the design intent of the gussets is mainly to
secure the long vertical members from rotating out of position. For this reason, the gussets to
the across-the-belt horizontal member should be at the bottom of the member, as shown in
Figure 2-3, and as close to the vertical midplane of the frame as feasible (15 mm thickness is
adequate for most situations).
3.6 Cable Inlet Box
The cable inlet box (P/N 09564-000) must be mounted on the top of the robot during the robot
installation process. This is best done before the robot is mounted on the frame.
Assembling Cable Inlet Box
The cables entering the cable inlet box are sealed with a Roxtec compression block kit.
