Plan your transport
Robot arm, controller cabinet, teach pendant, pedestal and gripper often carry different identification numbers. Link them in the list so the assignment is kept even when they are prepared separately. With several cells, it should be clear which fences, platforms and additional axes were sold. A layout drawing of the entire cell does not automatically describe the transport scope; mark the parts that travel on it.
The robot arm’s transport position
Most manufacturers specify a transport position in which the arm is compact and stable. The integrator or operator moves the arm into this position before collection and secures it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Send us the dimensions in this position; photos from production usually show a different arm pose.
Matching controller and cables
Have the operator or integrator confirm which controller and cables belong to which robot or group of robots. Mark any shared controller explicitly. With several identical robots, consistent identifiers on arms, cabinets and cable bundles prevent mix-ups. At the recipient's site this helps during commissioning.
What matters
- Link arm, controller and pendant by identifier
- Define pedestal, fencing and extra axes in the scope
- Have the specialist confirm the arm’s transport position
