3.5 Mounting the Robot
Mounting Surface
The Adept Cobra PLC robot is designed to be mounted on a smooth, flat, level tabletop.
The mounting structure must be rigid enough to prevent vibration and flexing during
robot operation. Adept recommends a 25 mm (1 in.) thick steel plate mounted to a rigid
tube frame. Excessive vibration or mounting flexure will degrade robot performance.
Figure 3-2 shows the mounting hole pattern for the Adept Cobra PLC robots.
NOTE: On the under side of the base there is a hole and a slot that can be
used as locating points for user-installed dowel pins in the mounting
surface; see Figure 3-2. Using locating pins could improve the ability to
remove and reinstall the robot in the same position.

Robot Mounting Procedure
1. Using the dimensions shown in Figure 3-2, drill and tap the mounting surface for
four M12 - 1.75 x 36 mm (or 7/16 - 14 UNC x 1.50 in.) machine bolts (bolts not
provided). See Table 3-2 for bolt and torque specifications.
