Grounding the Adept Quattro s650 Robot System
Adept Quattro s650 Robot User’s Guide, Rev B 61
Installing AC Power Cable to Robot
1. Connect the unterminated end of the AC power cable to your facility AC power
source. See Figure 4-4 and Figure 4-5 on page 59 . Do not turn on AC power at this
time.
2. Plug the AC connector into the AC power connector on the interface panel on the
robot.
3. Secure the AC connector with the locking latch.
4.8 Grounding the Adept Quattro s650 Robot System
Proper grounding is essential for safe and reliable robot operation. Follow these
recommendations to properly ground your robot system.
• It is the user’s responsibility to connect the frame ground and the robot base
ground.
NOTE: You must ground the robot base to the frame for all installations.
• One of the base mounting pads has two small holes (in addition to the M20
mounting hole). One of these is an M8 hole, provided as a ground.
NOTE: The mounting pad opposite this mounting pad has a single slot (in
addition to the M20 mounting hole).
• The tool flange has an M3 hole that can be used for attaching a ground.
NOTE: Any ground attached to the tool flange must be on the bottom
surface of the flange, as there is not sufficient clearance between the top
surface and the platform.
Robot-Mounted Equipment Grounding
If hazardous voltages are present at any user-supplied robot-mounted equipment or
tooling, you must install a ground connection for that equipment or tooling. Hazardous
voltages can be considered anything in excess of 30
VAC (42.4 VAC peak) or 60 VDC .
If there will be hazardous voltages present at the tool flange or end-effector, it is the user’s
responsibility to:
• Connect the robot base ground and the tool flange ground.
NOTE: A ground strap from the tool flange to the base mounting tab must
include a service loop that allows full rotation of the tool flange.
• Ground the end-effector to the tool flange.
DANGER: Failing to ground robot-mounted equipment or
tooling that uses hazardous voltages could lead to injury
or death of a person touching the end-effector when an
electrical fault condition exists.
