1 Introduction
Notes These hints serve to make your work easier or contain references to further
information.
2 Purpose
This documentation is aimed at users with the following knowledge and skills:
Advanced knowledge of mechanical engineering
Advanced knowledge of electrical and electronic systems
Knowledge of the robot controller system
Use The intended use of the energy supply system is the supply of energy to tools
and fixtures on the robot. This includes the transmission of control and mea-
suring signals for activating and monitoring tools and fixtures and the supply
of air and water.
Operating the system within the limits of its intended use also involves contin-
uous observance of the operating and assembly instructions of the robot sys-
tem and its options, with particular reference to the maintenance
specifications.
Misuse Any use or application deviating from the intended use is deemed to be misuse
and is not allowed. This includes e.g.:
Operation with non-specified fluids
Operation outside the permissible operating parameters
Use in potentially explosive environments
Use in underground mining
Use with unauthorized robot systems
3 Product description
Overview This description applies to standard robots of the QUANTEC product series.
Different robot reaches have no effect on the structure and function of the en-
ergy supply system.
The energy supply system consists of the following principal components:
Dress package
Interface A1
Interface A3
Fastening materials
For use in certain production technologies, the robot can be equipped with an
energy supply system (>>> Fig. 3-1 ) between the base frame (axis 1) and the
arm (axis 3). An energy supply system consists of a dress package for trans-
mitting the energy, fluids and signals typical of the technological process con-
cerned, and the “fastening materials” assembly required for attaching it to the
robot. The dress package is installed between interface A1 on the base frame
and interface A3 on the arm. In addition to the flexible tube, it contains all of
the supply lines for this energy supply system. The flexible tube is attached to
the robot in such a way that it is fixed at the rotating column and free to rotate
on the arm, and is routed along the link arm to interface A3 on the arm. The
supply lines of the dress package are routed through the center of the gear unit
of axis 1 in the rotating column.
The compact unit can be quickly exchanged without great effort. It is attached
to the robot in such a way that the dress package does not hinder the motion
of the robot, but has maximum freedom of movement with minimum wear and
maximum protection.
Dress package The contents of the dress package (>>> Fig. 3-2 ) depend on the specific ap-
plication and may therefore vary greatly. The following figure shows the com-
position for this energy supply system.
The axis 1 interface is located on the base frame. From the interface, the ca-
bles and hoses are bundled by means of a cable star and routed through gear
unit A1 to the clamping piece where they are fixed in place and aligned. From
here, the cables and hoses are routed in the flexible tube around the rotating
column, along the link arm, to interface A3 on the arm. At the end of the flexible
tube is another cable star for locating and orienting the cables and hoses. At
interface A3, the cables are fastened by means of connector housings and the
hoses by means of bulkhead unions.
The clamping piece and cable stars serve to adjust and locate the cables and
hoses in the dress package and at the transitional points. The number and size
of the holes in the clamping piece and cable star are determined by the com-
position of the dress package. Unused holes are sealed by means of plugs.
The flexible tube consists of the corrugated tube, support shells, intermediate
pieces, fasteners and other components. The intermediate pieces are used for
fixing the flexible tube in the hinged clamps in such a way that it can rotate
Interface A1 The cables and hoses of the energy supply system are connected to the robot
via interface A1 (>>> Fig. 3-3 ), which is located in the base frame of the ro-
bot. All incoming cables and hoses from the system are connected to the robot
here. The interface is application and task-specific and has either connectors
or unions, depending on the equipment. Coded connectors and labeling of the
connections prevent incorrect configuration of the interface.
Further information and detailed specifications about this interface can be
found in the parts catalog and Chapter (>>> 4 "Technical data" Page 15).
Interface A3 “Energy supply system A3 - A6” is connected via interface A3 (>>> Fig. 3-4 ),
which is located on the arm of the robot. All incoming cables and hoses from
“Energy supply system A1 - A3” are connected here. The interface is applica-
tion and task-specific and has either connectors or unions, depending on the
equipment. Coded connectors and labeling of the connections prevent incor-
rect configuration of the interface.
Further information and detailed specifications about this interface can be
found in the parts catalog and Chapter (>>> 4 "Technical data" Page 15).
Fastening The “fastening materials” assembly contains all parts required for fastening
materials, A1 - A3 the dress package and interfaces A1 and A3 to the base frame, rotating col-
umn and arm. This assembly also contains the fastening materials for con-
necting the cables and hoses to the interfaces. Since the configuration of the
energy supply system is always application-specific, the contents and scope
of the fastening materials are also tailored to the specific dress package.
