Clamp Collar Kit |
Components:
-
(2)
Clamp Bands - The clamp bands are beveled on
their interior to pull against the standard bevel found on all RISTEC
parts when a side load is applied by the locking screws. The bevel
is identical to that found on all Adept Technology Robots, thus allowing
the bands to be used to clamp any RISTEC product directly to any Adept
robot.
Clamping at the periphery make for a very strong and rigid
connection that allows simple access to the interior of the modules they
connect.
-
(1)
Universal Piloting Ring -
RISTEC's unique, patented, pilot ring design allows any RISTEC product
to be centered on ANY Adept Technology Robot or any other RISTEC
product.
-
(1)
Torsion Key - The key can be
used as a torsional restraint when mounting (2) RISTEC products together
or when attaching a RISTEC product to an Adept-One style robot flange.
-
(1)
Torsion Pin - The pin can be
used as a torsional restraint when mounting (2) RISTEC products together
or when attaching a RISTEC product to an Adept Cobra600 style robot
flange.
Mounting
(2) RISTEC Products Together
-
Place the piloting ring in the
center of the flange on one of the products to be mounted. Note: When
mounting RISTEC products with one another, there is no particular
orientation for the piloting ring.
-
Place either the torsional key or
the torsional pin in the appropriate slot in one of the parts to be
mounted. Note: Use of both the pin and key will create an
over-constrained situation and may cause binding.
-
Line up the other RISTEC product to
be able to receive either the key or pin (whichever was chosen), and bring
the two units in contact with one another.
-
Slide the clamp bands over the
flanges of the 2 mated units.
-
Insert and tighten the two locking
screws (provided). The units are now rigidly and highly repeatably
mated together.
Mounting
RISTEC Products Directly To Adept Robots
Follow the
same procedure described above with the following 2 differences:
-
The
piloting ring must be oriented appropriately to match the specific robot you
are mounting to.
-
You
will not have the choice of using either the key or the pin, only one will
work with the specific robot you are mounting to.
