Ensure the Tool Side and
Master Side Alignment
Marks are precisely aligned.
Step 2:
Mount the Tool Side Aid over
the Tool Plate by inserting the
Locating Pins into the Bushings.
Orient the Tool Side Aid such
that the 'A' Flat corresponds to
the 'A' Flat on the Tool Plate.
Step 3:
Mount the Master Side Aid to the QC Master
Plate ensuring that the Taper Pins enter the
corresponding holes in the Master Side Aid.
Orient the Master Side Aid such that the 'A'
Flat corresponds to the 'A' Flat on the Master
Plate. Energize the Locking Mechanism to
secure the Master Side Aid in place.
Step 4:
Bring the Master Plate Assembly to a position
directly over the Tool Plate Assembly. The Master
Plate Assembly Face should be parallel to the Tool
Plate Assembly Face. Ensure the orientation of the
Master and Tool assemblies is such that the Flat
ID's correspond (i.e. 'A' Master to 'A' Tool, etc.).
Step 1:
Place the Tool Plate in the
Tool Stand. Programs should
be written with the Tool Plate
resting in the Tool Stand.
Step 5:
Move the Master Plate
Assembly slowly downward until
the Master and Tool Side Aids
are approximately 1mm apart.
Step 6:
Adjust the position of the robot to
correct for any lateral misalignment.
Use the Alignment Marks to align
the Tool Side and Master Side Aids.
Step 7:
Record the robot coordinates from Step 6. A correction must now
be made to the Z coordinate to account for the thickness of the
Master and Tool Side Teaching Aids. Only in this way can the
correct "Pick-up" and "Replacement" coordinates be determined.
Perform the following calculation to determine the "Pick-up" and
"Replacement" locations:
Z "Pick-up" Coordinate = (Z Coordinate from Step 6) - 55mm
