Chapter 3: System Cable Installation
Robot-Mounted Equipment Grounding
The Adept Cobra s350 Joint 3 quill and tool flange are not reliably grounded to the robot base.
If hazardous voltages are present at any user-supplied robot-mounted equipment or tooling,
you must install a ground connection from that equipment/tooling to the ground point on the
robot base. Hazardous voltages can be considered anything in excess of 30 VAC (42.4 VAC
peak) or 60 VDC.
Also, see Figure 8-3 for the grounding point on the tool flange.
DANGER: Failing to ground robot-mounted equipment
or tooling that uses hazardous voltages could lead to
injury or death of a person touching the end-effector
when an electrical fault condition exists.
3.11 Installing User-Supplied Safety Equipment
The user is responsible for installing safety barriers to protect personnel from coming in
contact with the robot unintentionally. Depending on the design of the workcell, safety gates,
light curtains, and emergency stop devices can be used to create a safe environment. Read the
Adept Robot Safety Guide for a discussion of safety issues.
Refer to the Adept SmartController User's Guide or Adept SmartController EX User's Guide for
information on connecting safety equipment into the system through the XUSR connector on
the SmartController. There is a detailed section on Emergency Stop circuits and diagrams on
recommended E-Stop configurations.
