Safety Precautions

Always read the following precautions and the separate "Safety Manual" before starting use of the robot to learn the required measures to be taken.

 

 

CAUTION

All teaching work must be carried out by an operator who has received special training.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(This also applies to maintenance work with the power source turned ON.)

 

 

 

→ Enforcement of safety training

CAUTION

WARNING

CAUTION

WARNING

For teaching work, prepare a work plan related to the methods and procedures of oper- ating the robot, and to the measures to be taken when an error occurs or when restart- ing. Carry out work following this plan. (This also applies to maintenance work with the power source turned ON.)

→ Preparation of work plan

Prepare a device that allows operation to be stopped immediately during teaching work. (This also applies to maintenance work with the power source turned ON.)

→ Setting of emergency stop switch

During teaching work, place a sign indicating that teaching work is in progress on the start switch, etc. (This also applies to maintenance work with the power source turned ON.)

→ Indication of teaching work in progress

Provide a fence or enclosure during operation to prevent contact of the operator and robot.

→ Installation of safety fence

CAUTION

CAUTION

CAUTION

Establish a set signaling method to the related operators for starting work, and follow this method.

→ Signaling of operation start

As a principle turn the power OFF during maintenance work. Place a sign indicating that maintenance work is in progress on the start switch, etc.

→ Indication of maintenance work in progress

Before starting work, inspect the robot, emergency stop switch and other related devices, etc., and confirm that there are no errors.

→ Inspection before starting work

WARNING

CAUTION

WARNING

Transport the robot with the designated transportation posture. Transporting the robot in a non-designated posture could lead to personal injuries or faults from dropping.

Always use the robot installed on a secure table. Use in an instable posture could lead to positional deviation and vibration.

Wire the cable as far away from noise sources as possible. If placed near a noise source, positional deviation or malfunction could occur.

Do not apply excessive force on the connector or excessively bend the cable. Failure to observe this could lead to contact defects or wire breakage.

Make sure that the workpiece weight, including the hand, does not exceed the rated load or tolerable torque. Exceeding these values could lead to alarms or faults.

Securely install the hand and tool, and securely grasp the workpiece. Failure to observe this could lead to personal injuries or damage if the object comes off or flies off during operation.

Securely ground the robot and controller. Failure to observe this could lead to malfunc- tioning by noise or to electric shock accidents.

Indicate the operation state during robot operation. Failure to indicate the state could lead to operators approaching the robot or to incorrect operation.

When carrying out teaching work in the robot's movement range, always secure the pri- ority right for the robot control. Failure to observe this could lead to personal injuries or damage if the robot is started with external commands.

CAUTION

CAUTION

Keep the jog speed as low as possible, and always watch the robot. Failure to do so could lead to interference with the workpiece or peripheral devices.

After editing the program, always confirm the operation with step operation before starting automatic operation. Failure to do so could lead to interference with peripheral devices because of programming mistakes, etc.

CAUTION

CAUTION

WARNING

CAUTION

Make sure that if the safety fence entrance door is opened during automatic operation, the door is locked or that the robot will automatically stop. Failure to do so could lead to personal injuries.

Never carry out modifications based on personal judgments, or use non-designated maintenance parts.

Failure to observe this could lead to faults or failures.

When the robot arm has to be moved by hand from an external area, do not place hands or fingers in the openings. Failure to observe this could lead to hands or fingers catching depending on the posture.

Do not stop the robot or apply emergency stop by turning the robot controller's main power OFF. If the robot controller main power is turned OFF during automatic operation, the robot accuracy could be adversely affected.Moreover, it may interfere with the peripheral device by drop or move by inertia of the arm.

 

 

CAUTION

Do not turn off the main power to the robot controller while rewriting the internal

 

 

 

 

 

 

information of the robot controller such as the program or parameters.

 

 

 

If the main power to the robot controller is turned off while in automatic operation or

 

 

 

rewriting the program or parameters, the internal information of the robot controller may

 

 

 

be damaged.

Fig.2-2 Transportation procedures (transporting with a crane)

1)Attach the suspension fittings to the left and right sides of the shoulder section, and securely fix with bolts (four M10 x 25, four spring washers for M10). At this time, fix two of the suspension fitting's three holes at the side closest to the robot front.

2)Catch wires in the eye bolts installed on the suspension fittings, and quietly suspend the arm.

3)At this time, make sure that the wires, etc., do not interfere with the robot arm or covers. Always place cloth, etc., at interfering places.

4)When transferring to the installation place, take care not to apply vibration or impact.

5)After installing at the installation place, remove the above suspension fittings.

6)Always follow the above procedures and methods to transport the robot for secondary transportation, such as when changing the installation position.

If the arm is directly suspended without using the specified suspension fittings, or if it is suspended in the work posture, the configuration devices could be damaged, and the transportation workers will be subject to risk due to an inadequate center of gravity position.

1)The robot installation surface has been machine finished. Use the installation holes (4-φ9 holes) opened at the four corners of the base, and securely fix the robot with the enclosed installa- tion bolts (M8 x 40 hexagon socket bolts).

Installation of the robot arm is a very important step for ensuring the optimum functions of the robot. Observe the following points when design- ing.

2)Install the robot on a level surface.

3)It is recommended that the surface roughness of the table onto which the robot is to be installed by 6.3a or more. If the installation surface is rough, the contact with the table will be poor, and positional deviation could occur when the robot moves.

4)When installing, use a common table to prevent the position of the devices and jigs subject to robot work from deviating.

5)The installation surface must have sufficient strength to withstand the arm reaction during operation, and resistance against deformation and vibration caused by the static (dynamic) load of the robot arm and peripheral devices, etc.

6)Remove the fixing plates after installing the robot.

7)When the robot is installed by hanging from the ceiling or on the wall, the MEGDIR parameter must be changed. For more information about parameters and how to change the parameters, refer to the separate "Instruction Manual/ Detailed Explana-tion of Functions and Opera- tions".

Robot grounding cable (AWG#11 (3.5mm2) or more) (Prepared by customer)

1)There are three grounding methods as shown in Fig. 2-4, but the dedicated grounding (Fig. 2-4 (a)) should be used for the robot arm and controller when possible. (Refer to the separate " Controller Setup, Basic Operation and Maintenance" for details on the controller grounding.)

2)Use Class D grounding (grounding resistance 100Ω or less).

Dedicated grounding separated from the other devices should be used.

3)Use a AWG#11(3.5mm2) or more stranded wire for the grounding wire. The grounding point should be as close to the robot arm and controller as possi- ble, and the length of the grounding wire should be short.

1)Prepare the grounding cable (AWG#11(3.5mm2) or more) and robot side installation screw and washer.

2)If there is rust or paint on the grounding screw section (A), remove it with a file, etc.

3)Connect the grounding cable to the grounding screw section.

Fig.2-5 Connecting the grounding cable

CAUTION When installing the robot, be sure to allocate a sufficient maintenance space for connecting the cables between devices and replacing a backup battery at the rear of the robot.
