Base Table
A base table for anchoring the Manipulator is not supplied. The base table must be fabricated or obtained by the customer. The shape and size of the base table vary depending on the application of the robot system. As a reference when designing the base table, the requirements from the Manipulator side are shown here.
The base table must not only be able to bear the weight of the Manipulator but also be able to withstand the dynamic movement of the Manipulator when it operates at maximum acceleration/deceleration. Ensure that the base table has enough strength by using reinforcing materials such as crossbeams.
The torque and reaction force produced by the movement of the Manipulator are as follows:
| GX10-B/GX10-C | GX20-B/GX20-C | |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum torque on horizontal surface | 1000 N·m | 1000 N·m |
| Maximum reaction force in horizontal direction | 4500 N | 7500 N |
| Maximum reaction force in vertical direction | 2000 N | 2000 N |
M12 threaded holes are used for mounting the Manipulator on the base table.
Use bolts for mounting the Manipulator that have a strength compliant with ISO 898-1 property class 10.9 or 12.9. The dimensions are provided in the following sections.

Manipulator Mounting Dimensions
The plate for the Manipulator mounting face should be at least 20 mm thick and made of steel for reducing vibrations. A surface roughness of 25 μm or less at the maximum height is appropriate.
The base table must be secured to the floor or wall to prevent it from moving.
The Manipulator mounting surface should have a flatness of 0.5 mm or less and an inclination of 0.5° or less to a horizontal or vertical surface. If the installation surface does not have the proper flatness, the base of the Manipulator may be damaged or the robot may be unable to operate at maximum performance.
When using a leveler to adjust the height of the base table, use a screw with M16 diameter or more.
If passing cables through the holes in the base table, refer to the connector dimensions in the figures below.
