Scalar i6000

Installing a Multi-Module Library – Gen 2 Dual

Robot Configuration

This is an excerpt from the Scalar i6000 Installation Guide (6-66881-03 Rev

A), enhanced with notes, extra images, and video links.

This is a training document and is not meant to be used in place of the

current Installation Guide.

Introduction

Training Introduction

Caution: This document is intended to be reviewed before an installation, it is not intended

to substitute for the relevant technical publications.

This is a training document. It is not intended to take the place of the Installation Guide, its

purpose is to provide additional information about a Gen 2 Dual Robot installation for service

personnel who have installed Gen 1 systems, but who have not yet installed a Gen 2 system.

This training document is based on an excerpt from the Installation Guide. In addition to the

steps and images in the installation guide, there are some added comments, photographic

images, and links to short videos. This additional information is provided to assist your first Gen

2 installation.

Please review this document and watch the short video excerpts linked to it.

In addition to a Gen 2 Dual Robot installation, there are also Gen 2 Single Robot installation

procedures. Those procedures are not included here because all of those individual tasks are

included in the Gen 2 Dual Robot installation procedures.

This chapter describes how to install a new multi-module Gen 2 dual-robot library, and how to add

expansion modules to an existing Gen 2 dual-robot library.

Parts List

The modules are shipped from the factory with everything pre-installed except for the few items that cross

over frame boundaries. These items come in separate parts kits as noted below.

PM Kit

• Catch tray

• Power rail bridge clamps (1 set of 2 clamps)

• X-axis gear rack, full, right load position (3)

• Screws needed for the above parts

CM Kit

• X-axis gear rack, full, standard (3)

• Screws needed for above parts

Note

The factory does not ship a frame called the “right parking module.” The factory

just calls it an “expansion module” or EM. You will know it is the right parking

module because it is the last numbered frame, and also because it has a right

side cover installed.

Note

The left parking module is simply called the “parking module,” or PM, at the

factory. The PM kit below is the parts kit for the left and right parking modules.

Step 1: Installing the System Unit (First Four Frames)

Training Note: The installation procedure assumes that the system has been unpacked

according to the Scalar i6000 Unpacking and Removal Instructions. The robots are shipped in

the modules. The robots and the modules must be unpacked and prepared according to the

instructions to ensure the installation goes smoothly.

Perform this section you are installing a completely new library.

Many of the sub-procedures are the same for a Gen 1 or Gen 2 installation. These are pointed

out for you here.

If you are installing four or fewer frames, you can bolt the frames together while the frames are on their

casters, and then raise and level the frames as one system unit.

The system unit consists of the left parking module, control module, and the next two modules.

4Introduction

Aligning and Bolting the Frames (Same as Gen 1 Task)

1Using the corner edges of the frames as a rough alignment, position the frames together so the

attachment bolt holes are aligned.

Verify that the attachment holes are aligned. If necessary, adjust the frame legs to better align the

attachment bolt holes.

2Repeat the following steps for the front lowerbolt, front upper bolt, back lower bolt, and back upperbolt,

in that order:

a. Insert the attachment bolt from right to left into the attachment hole

b. If the bolts do not slide smoothly into the holes, raise the appropriate leveling legs until they do.

c. Once the bolts are inserted, loosely thread the nuts onto the bolts.

3Tighten the bolts using the 6 mm hex wrench and the 13 mm open end wrench.

4Once the frames are aligned and bolted properly together, proceed to Positioning the System Unit

(Same as Gen 1 Task) on page 5.

Positioning the System Unit (Same as Gen 1 Task)

For more information on location specifications, see the Scalar i6000 Planning Guide.

1Verify the placement of the system unit.

2Verify the following:

• There is an AC outlet within 10 feet (3.05 m) of the control module’s location.

• There is adequate clearance for the access and service doors.

• All raised floor tiles have been cut out accordingly to accommodate the power, SCSI, Fibre, and

Ethernet cables to any of the modules.

3Position the system unit in its intended location.

4Verify that the system unit is positioned correctly.

5Ensure that the leveling legs are not resting on tiles that will need to be raised to accommodate cables

after the system unit has been installed.

Note

Do not overtighten the bolts. Overtightening can damage the vertical frame

post structure.

Note

The left parking module is at the left end of a dual-robotics multi-module

library.

6Introduction

Lowering the System Unit Leveling Legs (Same as Gen 1 Task)

Required tools: 24 mm open end wrench, 6 mm hex wrench or 16 mm open end wrench.

1On only the four outer edge corner legs of the system unit, use the 24 mm open end wrench to loosen

the four locking nuts.

2Lower the four outer edge corner legs by hand until the legs touch the floor. You may need to use the

6 mm hex wrench or 16 mm open end wrench to turn the legs if the threads do not turn freely.

Raising the System Unit Off the Casters (Same as Gen 1 Task)

Required tools: 6 mm hex wrench or 16 mm open end wrench

1Using the 6 mm hex wrench or 16 mm open end wrench, raise the entire system unit by only the four

outer edge corner legs seven (7) half turns during the system raising process. If a leg is lifted off the

floor, give only that leg seven (7) half turns. This should raise the entire system unit off of the casters

seven (7) half turns.

Training Note: Some people find the phrase "seven half turns" confusing. Another way to think

of it is as 3 and 1/2 rotations.

2Check each corner leg to ensure that there is pressure on the foot and you cannot turn it by hand.

• If you have correctly given each outer edge corner leg seven (7) half turns you should not be able

to turn the feet by hand.

CAUTION

If you do not loosen the locking nuts, you may strip the threads on the

leveling legs during movement.

Note

To ensure even weight distribution on the legs, it is very important that the

lowered legs be brought into contact with the floor without lifting the system

unit. You can verify whether a leg is in contact with the floor by attempting

to slide a piece of paper underneath it.

Note

Making a mark on the top of the leg will help you keep track of the half

turns. It is important to track the total number of turns, especially if you are

installing additional expansion modules.

• If you can turn one or more of the feet by hand, lower the system unit back onto the casters and

restart this procedure at Raising the System Unit Off the Casters (Same as Gen 1 Task) on page

6. The goal is to have the system unit weight evenly distributed across all four outer edge leveling

legs when it is properly raised. The system unit may or may not be level at this time.

Verifying the System is Level (Same as Gen 1 Task)

Training Note: This sub-procedure is the same as for a Gen 1 installation, except the four

leveling steps have been placed under a section heading. This is for organization. The procedure

is performed the same way.

Verifying the system is level consists of the following steps:

1Testing the Digital Level on page 7

2Verifying Level Condition on page 8

3Additional Leveling on page 9

4Lowering All Other Leveling Legs and Checking Library Level on page 10

Testing the Digital Level

Required tools: digital level

Perform this test before each use of the digital level and any time the digital level has been dropped or is

being used in an environment that varies ±9°F from the environment in which it was last calibrated. If the

digital level fails the accuracy test, you must re-calibrate the level before use.

1Turn on the level by pushing the ON/OFF button. Position the level with the display facing you and the

text on the face of the level right-side up. Ensure that the level is on a clean, flat, and horizontal surface.

This surface does not have to be exactly level. Wait 10 seconds for the level to completely settle and

take note of the angle on the display.

2Rotate the level end-for-end so the display is facing away from you. The screw on the back of the level

should be on the left side. Be sure to set the level in the exact spot as in Step 1. Wait 10 seconds for

the level to completely settle and take note of the angle on the display.

8Introduction

3Roll the level toward you so that the display is facing you, but the lettering on the face of the unit is

upside down. Be sure to set the level in the exact spot as in Step 1. Wait 10 seconds for the level to

completely settle and take note of the angle on the display.

4Rotate the level end-for-end so the display is facing away from you. The screw on the back of the level

should be on the right side. Be sure to set the level in the exact spot as in Step 1. Wait 10 seconds for

the level to completely settle and take note of the angle on the display.

5Compare the level display readings that you captured from Steps 1 through 4. Ifany of the four readings

vary from one another more than0.1 degree, you must re-calibrate the level. For more information, see

"Calibrating the Digital Level" in the Scalar i6000 Installation Guide. If the variance between the

readings are within the 0.1 degree limit, the level is within compliance and is ready to be used.

Verifying Level Condition

Required tools: digital level

1In the control module only, verify the system unit is level front to back and left to right by placing the

digital level at the following locations:

a. Inside the access door

b. On the left side inside the access door

A reading on the digital level that is 0.00 +/- 0.30 is to be considered level.

Scalar i6000 Installation Guide Super Doc 9

If the module does not meet the 0.00 +/- 0.30 leveling requirement, go to Additional Leveling on page 9.

If the module is sufficiently level, go to Lowering All Other Leveling Legs and Checking Library Level on

page 10.

Additional Leveling

Customerfloorsmay besuch that furtherleveling is required.The goal in leveling the system unit is toadjust

the leveling legs to achieve a digital level reading that is 0.00 +/- 0.30.

1Place the digital level inside the control module access door (positions 1). Use the following rules when

leveling from left to right:

• Rule 1: Always make your leveling adjustments to raise the system unit (turn the legs clockwise

looking from the top).

• Rule 2: Since the frames are very stiff, adjust the appropriate left or right leg pair the same amount

when leveling left to right.

• Rule 3: Use small adjustment increments; no more than one half (½) turn at a time.

• Rule 4: If the leveling adjustment has raised any of the other leveling legs off the floor, take out the

adjustment and work on the opposite end of the system unit (front to back).

• Rule 5: Wait at least 10 seconds for the digital level to settle between adjustments.

Note

Make sure the digital level is not resting on any frame welds or debris that

would cause an inaccurate reading. To find the small circular frame welds,

run your finger tips over the spot where you are going to place the level

10 Introduction

2Placethe level onthe left side inside the control moduleaccessdoor (position 2). Use the followingrules

when leveling from front to back:

• Rule 1: Always make your leveling adjustments to raise the system unit (turn the legs clockwise

looking from the top).

• Rule 2: Since the frames are very stiff, adjust the appropriate front or rear leg pair the same amount

when leveling front to back.

• Rule 3: Use small adjustment increments; no more than one half (½) turn at a time.

• Rule 4: If the leveling adjustment has raised any of the other leveling legs, take out the adjustment

and work on the other side.

• Rule 5: Wait at least 10 seconds for the digital level to settle between adjustments.

Lowering All Other Leveling Legs and Checking Library Level

1Lower all remaining frame leveling legs until the legs touch the floor.

2To support the weight of the system, give each non-leveling leg 1/4 turn.

3Check all leveling legs to verify that all the legs are on the floor.

4Use the digital level to double-check the levelness of the library.

Verifying the Frames are Aligned Using Alignment Marks

Training Note: This procedure is different for a Gen 2 installation. You also verify alignment in

a Gen 1 install, but the method is different for Gen 2. In fact, it's a much simpler procedure. The

image in the manual shows it very well.

1Verify the frames are aligned by checking the alignment marks in the middle rack supports. The

alignment marks are on the right and left sides of each middle rack support and are 2 mm in height.

These alignment marks must overlap, which indicates that the frames are aligned within 2 mm.
