Mounting

Verify robot mounting

Mounting settings describe whether the robot is mounted vertically, horizontally, or at an angle. This allows the robot to determine the direction of gravity, enabling smooth and precise movement.

This screen also allows you to specify the orientation of the robot base in relation to the viewer, giving the robot an accurate appearance in the visualizations.

 

Always verify the actual payload and installation are correct before starting up the robot arm. If these settings are incorrect, the robot arm and Control Box will not function correctly and may become dangerous to people or equipment.

Ensure the robot arm is not touching an object (e.g., a table) because a collision between the robot arm and an obstacle might damage a joint gearbox.

 

To change the mounting settings of the robot arm:

  1. On the Teach Pendant, press the emergency stop button.

  2. On the Teach Pendant, press the power button and allow the system to start and load PolyScope X.

  3. On the screen, tap OK when the Robot Emergency Stop dialog appears.

  4. Tap the Application icon in the Main Navigation on the left side of the Teach Pendant screen.

    Tap the Mounting icon.

    A screen appears with two fields on the left side:

    Rotation. The alignment with respect to the power cable.

    Tilt. The angle of the base in degrees: 0 being horizontal floor mounting, 90 being wall mounting, and 180 being a ceiling mounting.

    The robot arm is seen in the center screen.
