Clocking the Platform to the Base
The rotational alignment (clocking) of the platform to the base is critical to the correct
operation of the robot.
CAUTION: Incorrect clocking of the platform will result
in incorrect robot performance.
NOTE: There is no marking on the electroless nickel-plated platforms to indicate
which pair of ball studs should be connected to which inner arm.
Stainless steel platforms are labeled.
When the platform is installed correctly, the tool flange will be closest to the status display on
the robot base.
NOTE: The tool flange face on the P30 platform is centered, so that platform can be
installed in any orientation.
The bottom of the robot base has embossed numbers, 1 through 4, indicating the motor
numbers. The corresponding numbers for the platform, as viewed from the top, are indicated
in the following figure, where each number represents a pair of ball studs. When the platform
numbers match the robot base numbers, the platform will be correctly aligned.
