Adept s800 s800 - Manual (Page 124)

Chapter 9: IP-65 Option
9.2 Modifications to Meet IP-65 Classification
Outer link
The Cobra s800 Inverted robot has different seals for the IP-65 version. The outer link cover
has been widened slightly to accommodate a larger seal.
The user connections are not available from the outside of the outer link on the IP-65 version.
Rather, the outer link cover must be removed to access these connections, and the connections
continue through the quill, rather than outside of the outer link. Refer to Removing/Installing
Outer Link Cover on page 128.
AIB/eAIB Cable Seal
The cables entering the AIB/eAIB have a special seal assembly to achieve IP-65 classification.
This is covered in Removing/Installing the Cable Entry Housing on page 124 and Installing
the Roxtec Cable Seal Assembly on page 135.
Controller
This chapter applies to the Adept Cobra s800 Inverted robot, not to the Adept SmartController.
NOTE: The Adept SmartController must be installed inside a NEMA-1 rated
enclosure.
Hard Stop, Rotation Range
Because the outer link cover has been widened, it cannot rotate as far as the standard inverted
Cobra. The hard stop has been enlarged to limit the outer link’s rotation (at J2), to prevent the
outer link from hitting the robot body.
Refer to Table 7-4 for specifications for both Cobra versions.
9.3 AIB/eAIB Cable Seal Overview
There are two sealing assemblies for the AIB/eAIB cables.
One is a Roxtec Cable Seal Assembly. It consists of dense foam with adjustable-diameter holes
for cables. The foam and cables are mounted in a housing that compresses the foam, thereby
eliminating any gaps around the cables.
The other assembly is the cable entry housing, which provides access to the AIB/eAIB
connections. Instructions for removal and reinstallation of the cable entry housing are
provided in the next section. The Roxtec assembly is mounted through the cover of this
assembly, and should never need to be disassembled.
In the event that a cable needs to be replaced, instructions are provided in Installing the Roxtec
Cable Seal Assembly on page 135 for removing and reinstalling the Roxtec assembly.
9.4 Removing/Installing the Cable Entry Housing
The Adept Cobra s800 Inverted robot IP-65 version has special sealing hardware at the
AIB/eAIB to ensure nothing can enter the inside of the robot or AIB/eAIB. If you need to remove
