4.9 Grounding the <strong>Adept</strong> Robot System
Proper grounding is good practice for safe and reliable robot operation. Follow these
re<strong>com</strong>mendations to properly ground your robot system.
Ground Point on Robot Base
The user can install a ground wire at the robot base to ground the robot. See Figure 4-8.
The robot ships with an M8 x 12 stainless steel, hex-head screw, and M8 split and flat
washers installed in the grounding hole. The user is responsible for supplying the ground
wire to connect to earth ground.

NOTE: Early robots did not have a ground point on the robot. The
alternative ground point is located on the AIB chassis, as described in the
following section.
Ground Point on AIB
On robots without the ground point on the base, the user can install a ground wire at the
AIB chassis. Use one of the threaded holes around the Robot Interface Panel - see Figure
4-9. The user must provide an M4 screw, an external tooth lockwasher, and a ground wire
to connect to earth ground. Make sure to tighten the screw on the ground wire to create a
proper ground connection.
