Axis parameters: Range of motion for each axis of each model, maximum axis speed, Mastering zero position; Tilt installation will limit the range of motion of the A1 axis, and the actual installation tilt angle must be filled in the WorkVisual software, otherwise overload and accidental motion may damage the robot; Attached are a two-dimensional drawing of the work envelope and a limit curve for the variation of the A1 axis with the installation inclination angle.

Load chapter: Wrist flange ZH25/ZH35 (ISO 9409-1); Load center of gravity, moment of inertia, load curve diagram; Distinguish between normal operation and emergency stop conditions, flange bearing axial force, radial force, overturning moment, and torsional moment; Provide installation hole drawings and allowable additional load values for the boom, link arm, and rotating column.

Base load: Output vertical force, horizontal force, overturning moment, and A1 torque for ground, ceiling, and wall mounted working conditions respectively; The structural verification must take the maximum value of the emergency stop condition to prevent overturning and falling.

Cable parameters: motor cable XD30, data cable XF31; The cable can be selected in lengths of 2.7-50 meters, with a maximum total length of 50 meters, and can be extended up to once; Specify the minimum dynamic bending radius; Must have independent dual protection grounding; Complete A1 base interface pin diagram and wiring schematic.

Stop distance and stop time: distinguish between STOP0 cutting off the brake and STOP1 safe stop; Provide A1-A3 stop angle and stop time curves for two robots based on different arm extension ratios (33%/66%/100%), program magnification POV, and different loads; The brake will wear out, it is recommended to conduct an annual on-site review of the actual stopping distance; STOP0 has a significant impact on robots and should be triggered as little as possible.

Please refer to KUKA Xpert for information on the location of the body nameplate and REACH regulations.

Planning and Design

Reminder for accelerated wear conditions: long-term temperature limit operation, corrosive dust environment, continuous performance limit, single axis high duty cycle, monotonic reciprocating short stroke, wrist long-term static, external process force; Consult KUKA for the above working conditions to shorten the maintenance cycle; The body comes with overheating and overload monitoring, and automatically shuts down when exceeding the limit.

Two base schemes

Centering option base S310: concrete floor; Concrete grade C20/25; Bottom plate, chemical anchor bolt, positioning pin; Provide basic cross-sectional drawings and prohibit the addition of sound insulation and leveling layers between the base and concrete.

Rack mounted installation: customer steel structure, KUKA linear slide table; 4 M20 bolts+2 locating pins; Strictly follow the drawing requirements for the flatness, roughness, and structural stiffness of the installation surface.

Cable planning: The minimum dynamic bending radius for motor cables is 150   mm, and for data cables it is 60   mm. Power cables and signal cables are laid separately in metal cable trays to ensure EMC electromagnetic compatibility; Double protection grounding; Cable layout eliminates tripping risks; Cables are prohibited from withstanding tensile forces.

A1 Base Interface Definition: Motor X30, Data X31, Mastering Calibration X32, External Shaft XP7.1/XP8.1, I/O Interface X76 Drawing.
