Chapter 8: IP-65 Option
8.4 Customer Requirements
The IP-65 robot provides most of the hardware needed to achieve an IP-65 protection level, but
customers must provide a way of sealing the tool flange and pressurizing the robot through
the compressed air attachment fitting (located at the top of the robot). These two requirements,
sealing the tool flange and pressurizing the robot, are critical to achieving the IP-65 level of
protection.
In addition, the robot must be inspected periodically to make sure these requirements are being
met, as part of a periodic maintenance program.
Sealing the Tool Flange
The tool flange must be sealed so that the robot shell can be positively pressurized. The
positive pressure reinforces the sealing properties of the gaskets and seals provided in the IP-
65 robot.
The tool flange for the IP-65 robot has an additional protective shield on the outer edge that is
not present on the standard robot tool flange. See Figure 8-10 for the side view dimensions.
The bottom face of the flange (mounting surface) is the same as the standard flange, so the
dimensions in Figure 7-4 are correct.
