Load Rules

It is not enough to only look at the load mass, it is necessary to simultaneously verify the load mass, center of gravity Lx/Ly/Lz, and three directions of rotational inertia; Using the KUKA Load tool for accounting, the load parameters must be entered into the controller; Otherwise, the gear motor will be overloaded and damaged.

Support the installation of supplementary loads for rotating columns, left and right connecting arms, and large arms; The additional load on the left and right link arms has a total weight limit.

Flange output axial force, radial force, overturning moment, flange torque; Distinguish between normal operating conditions and peak emergency stop conditions; All values do not include safety factors; The design of fixtures and jigs must have an additional safety factor added.

Base foundation load

Output vertical force Fv, horizontal force Fh, overturning moment Mk, A1 turning torque Mr.

The values provided in the document do not include safety factors; The additional load on the rotating column/connecting rod arm needs to be manually added to the vertical load; The civil engineering design must increase the safety factor to prevent the base from overturning.

Stopping distance and time

Distinguish between Stop0 cutting off power shutdown and Stop1 path maintaining shutdown; A1-A3 axis shutdown angle and shutdown time under different POV speed ratios and load ratios; The actual stopping distance of multi axis composite motion will increase; Stop searching KUKA Xpert for detailed distance data.

Nameplate REACH

Multiple safety warning signs on the body are non removable; REACH SVHC substances of high concern information access KUKA Xpert.

Project Planning and Design

Two installation base schemes

Option 1: C1300 concrete base plate; Concrete grade C20/25; Insulation layer and thick leveling mortar interlayer are prohibited between the substrate and concrete; Use M30 bolts and chemical anchor bolts.

Plan 2: Installation of machine frame steel structure frame; Used for steel structure bases, height increasing platforms, and linear sliding tables.

The whole machine must ensure anti overturning.

Cable planning

Interface A1 (rear of base): Two motor cables XD30/XD30.1; Data cable XF31; PURGE gas supply port; External axis XG7.1/XG8.1; Grounding terminal.

Specify the bending radius of cables; EMC cabling; Requirements for equipotential grounding.

F-casting version: Planned PURGE booster gas supply system, with a gas supply pressure of 0.1-0.7 MPa.

Transportation

The robot must move to the standard transport posture specified in the manual and remove all external cables.

Handling method: Special lifting equipment for hoisting, or forklift handling (with integrated fork slots on the base); Tools with sufficient rated load-bearing capacity must be used.

Do not impact or fall; The transportation posture cannot be changed before installation on site.

Startup and Restarting

Base installation process

Concrete substrate: chemical anchor bolt construction, leveling; Robot hoisting in place, positioning pin positioning; Tighten M30 bolts diagonally in steps; After 100 hours of robot operation, all anchor bolts must be re tightened with torque.

Machine frame steel structure: positioning pin+sword pin positioning, bolt diagonal step-by-step tightening.

Wiring: Two motor cables XD30/XD30.1; Data cable XF31; 16mm ² equipotential grounding wire; The connector must be completely locked; Perform equipotential conduction test.

F-version put into operation: connect compressed air and debug PURGE pressure regulator.

Pre operation inspection checklist: no condensation; The body has no collision damage; Locking of connectors; All safety equipment function tests.

After long-term storage, air cushion will accumulate inside the balance cylinder, and exhaust operation is required before operation to prevent the protective cover from popping out and injuring people.

Maintenance (Power off, Lock and Tag out before Maintenance, ESD Protection)

If the oil temperature exceeds 60 ℃, the maintenance cycle needs to be shortened; Grade 10.9 high-strength bolts must be replaced after loosening and cannot be reused; Maintenance has been completed and all safety functions have been retested.

100 hours (only once during initial operation): Recheck the torque of all base fastening bolts.

2500 hours or 6 months: A1 cross roller bearing with lubricating grease LGEP 2; Lubrication of dual balance cylinder bearings; The frequent short stroke swing condition of A2 axis shortens the maintenance cycle to 3000 hours.

2500 hours or 1 year: visual inspection, pressure inspection, and leakage inspection of the balance cylinder; Hydraulic oil Hyspin ZZ46.

Gearbox oil change (10000 h/20000 h for different models, latest 5 years)

A1 input level: Optigear ALR320; A2-A6 gearbox: Optigear Synt. ALR150.

Oil recovery; If the oil level is less than 70%, the gearbox must be flushed; Record the oil discharge volume as a reference for refilling.

10 years: Mandatory replacement of the entire double balance cylinder assembly.

A1 cable package lubrication Optitemp RB2.

Body cleaning: power off, neutral cleaning agent with soft cloth; Prohibit high-pressure water guns from blowing seals; Replace the damaged nameplate in a timely manner.

Maintenance

This manual only describes limited disassembly and assembly operations; Repairs beyond the scope of the manual must be carried out by KUKA certified engineers.

Mechanical locking arm of lifting device before motor disassembly and assembly; After replacing components such as motors, gearboxes, cables, etc., Mastering origin calibration must be performed.

The balance cylinder belongs to the pressure component, and it should be depressurized and mechanically locked before disassembly and assembly.

ESD anti-static requirements; High strength bolts must be replaced with new parts when loosened.

Discontinuation, Storage, and Scrap Disposal

Shutdown disassembly: Move to standard transport posture; Disconnect all cables; Loosen the base bolts and lift off the body.

Long term storage: body cleaning; Seal all electrical connectors; Cover with dust-proof film and place desiccant inside; The storage environment is dry and dust-free, avoiding temperature difference condensation.

Key point of scrapping: The pressure relief of the balance cylinder must be completed before scrapping; Hydraulic oil, lubricating grease, motors, castings, and electronic components shall be classified and recycled according to local regulations.

Options

A1 hollow shaft cover: textile material dust cover; Only dustproof, without increasing IP protection level; Maintenance can only be done by dry brushing, water washing is prohibited.

PURGE Boost Option (- F Cast Version): Install pressure regulator on the A1 interface board of the base; Compressed air parameters ISO8573-1 (7:4:4), pressure 0.1-0.7 MPa, air consumption 0.1 m ³/h.
