Chapter 1: Hornet 565 Quick Setup Guide

1.1 Introduction

Process Overview

This Quick Setup Guide steps you through the installation and start-up of your Hornet 565

robot. The major steps are:

lPreparation: workcell layout and safety

lHardware Installation: mounting the robot and connecting system cables

lSystem Start-Up: system configuration and turning on the robot

It is assumed that a robot frame has been designed and built. Refer to the Hornet 565 Robot

User's Guide for information on requirements for the frame.

NOTE: This guide does not apply to robot systems that include a SmartController

EX motion controller. Refer to the Hornet 565 Robot User’s Guide for those systems.

During the installation and start-up process, refer also to your Hornet 565 robot user’s guide,

shipped with each system, and available on the support disk.

1.2 Safety

WARNING:It is strictly prohibited to install or operate our

robots without adequate safeguards according to applicable

local and national standards. See the following figure for a

simple workcell layout.

You must read the Robot Safety Guide and the Robot Installation and Operation chapters in the

robot user’s guide for information on safe operation of your robot system.

Refer to Installing User-Supplied Safety Equipment in the System Installation chapter of the

robot user’s guide, which provides details on connecting a user-designed E-Stop system

through the XUSR connector to the robot.

1.4 Installing the Robot

Frame

The Hornet 565 robot is mounted in a user-supplied frame, so that it hangs over the work-

space. A sample frame design is given, with dimensions, in the user’s guide. See the following

figure.

Ensure that the robot is oriented such that the Status Display panel faces away from the con-

veyor, if your system has a conveyor. This will give you the best view of the Status Display

panel, and provide the best cross-belt movement of the robot’s platform.

Mounting the Robot

1. Position the robot under the mounting frame.

The pallet will not fit in most frames, so the robot will need to be unstrapped from the

pallet and moved manually.

2. Put nylon slings through the six lifting slots. See the following figure.

Joint 1

Slots

Joint 2 Slots

Joint

Figure 1-2. Four of Six Lifting Slots, Sample Frame (not to scale)

3. Take up the slack in the slings.

4. Lift the robot up to the mounting pads on the frame.

5. Mount the robot with three M12 x 1.75 screws. Mounting screws are user-supplied; the

length is determined by your frame design.

The screws should be stainless or zinc-plated steel.

Lock washers are not needed, as the robot base has spring-lock Heli-Coil®inserts.

Chapter 1: Hornet 565 Quick Setup Guide

6. Use an external-tooth star washer, under one of the mounting screw heads, to ground

the robot base to the frame.

If the frame is painted where the star washer makes contact with it, use a ring terminal

under the star washer, and connect the other end of the wire from the terminal to a suit-

able grounding surface on the frame.

If the frame is not painted where the M12 screw makes contact with it, you do not need

to use a ring terminal - just put an external-tooth star washer under the mounting screw

head.

7. Tighten all mounting screws to 61 N-m (45 ft-lbf).

Attaching the Outer Arms and Platform

The Hornet 565 robot is available with either a rotating platform (J4) or a fixed platform. The

fixed platform model does not use a J4 motor or a theta drive shaft.

The Hornet 565 robot platform gets attached to the inner arms by the outer arms.

NOTE: Except for attaching the outer arms and, for the J4 platform, the theta drive

shaft, the platform is shipped fully assembled.

One pair of outer arms attaches between each inner arm and the platform. No tools are

needed.

For the J4 platform only:Both the theta drive shaft attachment on the J4 motor and the plat-

form are offset by about 2 in. from the centers of the robot base and tool flange. The platform

should be attached so that its shaft aligns between the Joint 1 and Joint 3 ball studs on the

robot base. Joint 1 should connect to motor 1, which is immediately to the right of the Status

Display panel on the robot base. See the preceding figure.

lEach outer arm has a ball joint socket at each end.

lThe inner arms and the platform have corresponding pairs of ball studs.

lThe procedure for attaching the outer arms is the same for both platforms.

a. Pivot the two arms away from each other lengthwise. This requires the least

stretching of the spring to attach the ball joints.

b. Slip one ball joint socket over the corresponding ball stud.

c. Swing the bottom end of the outer arm pair sideways as you slip the other ball

joint socket over the corresponding ball stud.

CAUTION:Do not overstretch the outer arm springs. Separ-

ate the sockets only enough to fit them over the ball studs.

2. Attach one pair of outer arms to each of the three pairs of ball studs on the platform.

a. Swing the bottom end of the outer arm pair to the right, as far as possible.

b. Slip the right ball joint socket over the right ball stud. (Move the platform as

needed to do this.)

c. Move the platform and outer arm pair to the left as you slip the left ball joint

socket over the corresponding ball stud.

3. Ensure that all spring hooks are fully-seated in the grooves of the horseshoes. See the fol-

lowing figure.

Attaching the Theta Drive Shaft (J4 Platform Only)

NOTE:The fixed platform does not use a theta drive shaft, so this section does not

apply to robots with a fixed platform.

Each U-joint has two identical ends. When the theta drive shaft is shipped, it will have one

end of a U-joint attached to each end. Attach the top end of the drive shaft to the J4 motor

shaft, labeled Top, first. This requires using a 3 mm hex key, with its short end shortened to 10

- 15 mm. A normal hex key will not fit in the space available.

Figure 1-9. U-Joint, Set Screw, J4 Shaft | Drive Shaft

To attach the free end of the U-joint:

1. Slide the end of the U-joint over the shaft (platform or J4 motor).

The fit will be fairly tight.

The hole in the side of the U-joint needs to line up with the hole in the shaft.

2. Screw an M6 x 20 dog point set screw (included) through the shaft, going through the

hole in the side of the U-joint, and into the blind hole on the opposite side of the U-joint.

The U-joint is not threaded.

Use Loctite 242, and tighten to 5 N-m (3.7 ft-lbf)of torque. The head of the set-screw

should be flush with the outer surface of the U-joint.

NOTE: The platform and J4 motor will need to be aligned after the ACE software

has been installed, and the robot has been powered-on.
