Figure 8-2. Cleanroom Connections
The connection panel for Cleanroom robots is modified to accommodate the vacuum lines
needed. Users will still have use of the two 6 mm and three 4 mm air lines, as well as the I/O
connections and DeviceNet port.
The 3/4 in. vacuum fitting is a high-flow/low-vacuum port. The 3/8 in. vacuum fitting is used
to evacuate the bellows area of the robot.
