Article

This article clarifies the intended applications and compatibility for the NexBot Safety 812-008 Sensor Mounting Bracket. Proper selection and placement are critical for ensuring the reliable operation of sensors on NexBot robotic systems.

Answer: Compatibility Overview

The NXB-SNS-812-008 is a specialized mounting bracket designed for attaching various types of sensors, such as vision, proximity, or laser sensors, to the arms of specific NexBot robots. Its design ensures a secure fit and proper positioning for tasks requiring precise feedback.

Supported Robot Series:

The bracket is mechanically compatible with the following NexBot robot series:

  • R-20 Series (Articulated)
  • R-50 Series (Articulated)
  • C-10 Series (Collaborative)
  • S-5 Series (SCARA)

Supported Joint Positions:

This bracket is designed for mounting on the upper arm and wrist axes of compatible articulated robots. It is not intended for use on the base or lower arm joints. The specified compatible joint positions are:

  • J3 (Joint 3)
  • J4 (Joint 4)
  • J5 (Joint 5)
  • J6 (Joint 6)

Technical Specifications

Understanding the physical characteristics of the bracket is essential for layout and clearance planning within a robotic cell.

  • Part Number: NXB-SNS-812-008
  • Product Name: NexBot Safety 812-008 Sensor Mounting Bracket
  • Dimensions (L x W x H): 210 x 75 x 165 mm

Note: The mounting pattern and hardware required (bolts, washers) may vary depending on the specific robot model and the sensor being installed. Always consult the technical manual for your robot arm for details on mounting point thread sizes and recommended torque specifications.

Tips for Installation

  • Verify Clearance: Before installation, manually move the robot arm through its entire expected range of motion to ensure the bracket and attached sensor will not cause collisions with other equipment, fixtures, or the robot itself.
  • Cable Management: Plan a secure and flexible routing path for the sensor cable. Ensure the cable has enough slack to accommodate all joint movements without being stretched, pinched, or abraded.
  • Correct Hardware: Use only high-grade metric fasteners (as specified in the robot's manual) to attach the bracket. Using incorrect hardware can lead to vibration, loosening, or damage to the robot's mounting threads.
