Unboxing a Kuka robot

[federgarrido]

Hello all,
This may sound like a very stupid question, but do you know if there's a startup guide for a Kuka robot? Like, literally what to do after unboxing it?
I came across a video that couldn't start the robot because some cables in the control box were disconnected and I'm afraid I'll miss something simple as that.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

If you go to KUKA Xpert, log in with your account (Basic is enough), look for your robot and click on "Product Information". That brings you to the product page.
For an Iontec, that would get you there: https://xpert.kuka.com/service-express/portal/project1_p/document/kuka-project1_p-basic_AR47164_en
On the right there is "Documentation", then click "Assembly Instructions". The manual is in parts generic, but should get you started. In general, always check the numbers of the plugs and only connect the cables accordingly.

Best,
Johannes

Thanks Johannes! You don't have by chance a picture or diagram of the ground connections? It is a bit unclear on the PDF....

Hello,
If you look at the Iontec documentation that I chose as an example, then you have "Fig. 7-5: Connecting the connecting cables" that shows you the ground connections on the back of the robot. To get the ground connections on the controller, you need to look into the documentation of the controller (not the robot, as the robot may be available with different controller generations).
Best,
