1.3 Operation Safety
The following items are safety precautions for qualified Operator personnel:
WARNING
Please carefully read the
Safety-related Requirements in the Safety chapter of
the
Safety and Installation manual before operating the robot system. Operating
the robot system without understanding the safety requirements is extremely hazardous and may result in serious bodily injury and/or sever
e equipment
damage to the robot system.
Do not enter the operating area of the Manipulator while the power to the robot system is turned ON. Entering the operating area with the power ON is extremely hazardous and may cause serious safety problems as
the Manipulator
may move even if it seems to be stopped.
Before operating the robot system, make sure that no one is inside the safeguarded area.
The robot system can be operated in the mode for teaching
even when someone is inside the safeguarded ar
ea.
The motion of the Manipulator is always in restricted (low speeds and low power) status to secure the safety of an operator.
However, operating the robot system
while someone is inside the safeguarded area is extremely hazardous and may result in serious safety problems in case that the Manipulator moves unexpectedly.
Immediately press the Emergency Stop switch whenever the Manipulator moves abnormally while the robot system is operated.
WARNING
To shut off power to the robot system,
disconnect the power plug from the power
source.
Be sure to connect the AC power cable to a power receptacle.
DO NOT connect it directly to a factory power source.
Before performing any replacement procedure, turn OFF the
Controller and
related equipment, and then
disconnect
the power plug from the power source. Performing any replacement procedure with the power ON is extremely hazardous and may result in electric shock and/or malfunction of the robot system.
Do not
connect or disconnect the motor connectors while the power to the robot
system is turned ON.
Connecting or disconnecting the motor connectors with
the power ON is extremely hazardous and may result in serious bodily injury as the Manipulator may move abno
rmally, and also may result in electric shock
and/or malfunction of the robot system.
Page 19
Setup & Operation 1. Safety
G10 / G20 Rev.20 7
CAUTION
Whenever possible, only one person should operate the robot system.
If it is
necessary to operate the robot system with more than one person, ensure that all people involved communicate with each other as to what they are doing and take all necessary safety precautions.
Joint #1, #2, and #4: If the joints are operated
repeatedly with the operating angle less than 5 degrees,
they may get damaged early because the bearings are likely to cause oil film shortage in such situation. To prevent early breakdown, move the joints larger than 50 degrees for about five to ten times a day.
J
oint #3:
If the up
-and-down motion of the hand is less than 10 mm, move the joint a half of
the maximum stroke for five to ten times a day.
Oscillation (resonance) may
occur continuously in low speed Manipulator motion
(Speed:
approx. 5 to 20%) depending on combination of Arm orientation and end
effector load. Oscillation arises from natural oscillation frequency of the Arm and can be controlled by following measures.
Changing Manipulator speed Changing the teach points Changing the end effector load

1.4 Emergency Stop
Emergency stop motions of the Manipulators vary due to difference of control methods of
the Controllers. See the section for your Controller model.
1.4.1 RC180
If the Manipulator moves abnormally during operation, immediately press the Emergency
Stop switch. Stops the power supply to the motor, and the arm stops in the shortest
distance with the dynamic brake and mechanical brake.
However, avoid pressing the Emergency Stop switch unnecessarily while the Manipulator
is running normally. Otherwise, the Manipulator may hit the peripheral equipment since
the operating trajectory while the robot system stops is different from that in normal
operation. It may also result in short life of the reduction gear unit due to the shock or
the electromagnetic brake due to the worn friction plate.
To place the system in emergency mode during normal operation, press the Emergency
Stop switch when the Manipulator is not moving.
Refer to the Controller manual for instructions on how to wire the Emergency Stop switch
circuit.
Do not press the Emergency Stop switch unnecessarily while the Manipulator is operating.
Pressing the switch during the operation makes the brakes work. This will shorten the
life of the brakes due to the worn friction plates.
Normal brake life cycle: About 2 years (when the brakes are used 100 times/day)
Do not turn OFF the Controller while the Manipulator is operating.
If you attempt to stop the Manipulator in emergency situations such as “Safeguard Open”,
make sure to stop the Manipulator using the Emergency Stop switch of the Controller.
If the Manipulator is stopped by turning OFF the Controller while it is operating,
following problems may occur.
Reduction of the life and damage of the reduction gear unit
Position gap at the joints
In addition, if the Controller was forced to be turned OFF by blackouts and the like while
the Manipulator is operating, make sure to check the following points after power
restoration.
Whether or not the reduction gear is damaged
Whether or not the joints are in their proper positions
If there is a position gap, perform calibration by referring to the Maintenance 14.
Calibration in this manual.
Before using the Emergency Stop switch, be aware of the followings.
- The Emergency Stop (E-STOP) switch should be used to stop the Manipulator only
in case of emergencies.
- To stop the Manipulator operating the program except in emergency, use Pause (halt)
or STOP (program stop) commands.
Pause and STOP commands do not turn OFF the motors. Therefore, the brake does
not function.
- For the Safeguard system, do not use the circuit for E-STOP.

*1: The exhaust system in the Cleanroom-model Manipulator (G10/G20-*
**C*) draws air from the base
interior and arm cover interior. A crack or other opening in the base unit can cause loss of negative air pressure in the outer part of the arm, which can cause increased dust emission. Do not remove the maintenance cover on the front of the base. Seal the exhaust port and the exhaust tube with vinyl tape so that the joint is airtight. If the exhaust flow is not sufficient, dust particle emission may exceed the specified maximum level.

4. Setting of End Effectors
4.1 Attaching an End Effector
Users are responsible for making their own end effector(s). Before attaching an end
effector, observe these guidelines.
CAUTION
If you use an end effector equipped with a gripper or chuck, connect wires and/or pneumatic
tubes properly so that the gripper does not release the work piece
when the
power to the robot system is turned OFF. Improper connection of the
wires and/or pneuma
tic tubes may damage the robot system and/or work piece
as the work piece is released when the Emergency Stop switch is pressed. I/O
outputs are configured at the factory so that they are automatically shut off (0)
by power disconnection, the
Emergency Stop switch, or the safety features of the
robot system
.
Shaft
- Attach
an end effector to the lower end of the shaft.
For the shaft dimensions,
and the overall dimensions of the Manipulator, refer to
Setup
& Operation:
2. Specifications.
- Do not move the upper limit mechanical stop on the lower side of the shaft.
Otherwise, when
“Jump motion”
is performed, the upper limit mechanical stop may hit
the Manipulator, and the r
obot system may not function properly.
- Use a split muff coupling with an M4 bolt or larger to attach the end effector to the
shaft.
Brake release switch
- Joint
s #3 and #4 cannot be moved
up/down by hand because the electromagnetic brake
is applied to the joint
s while power to the robot system is turned O F F.
This prevents
the shaft from hitting peripheral equipment and rotating in the case that the shaft is
lowered
by the weight of the end effector when the power
is disconnected during
operation,
or when the motor is turned OFF even though the power is turned ON.
To move Joint #3 up/down or
rotate Joint #4
while attaching an end effector
, turn ON the
C
ontroller and move the joint up/down or rotate
the joint while pressing
the brake release switch.
This button
switch is a momentary-type; the
brake is released
only while the button switch is
being pressed
.
The respective brakes for
Joints #3 and #4 are
released
simultaneously.

4.3 Weight and Inertia Settings
To ensure optimum Manipulator performance, it is important to make sure that the load
(weight of the end effector and work piece) and moment of inertia of the load are within
the maximum rating for the Manipulator, and that Joint #4 does not become eccentric.
If the load or moment of inertia exceeds the rating or if the load becomes eccentric, follow
the steps below, 4.3.1Weight Setting and 4.3.2 Inertia Setting to set parameters.
Setting parameters makes the PTP motion of the Manipulator optimal, reduces vibration to
shorten the operating time, and improves the capacity for larger loads. In addition, it
reduces persistent vibration produced when the moment of inertia of the end effector and
work piece is larger than the default setting.
4.3.1 Weight Setting
CAUTION
G10 series The total weight of the end effector and the work piece must
not exceed 10 kg.
The G
10 series Manipulators are not designed to work with loads exceeding 10 kg.
G20 series The total weight of the end effector and the work piece must
not exceed 20 kg.
The G
20 series Manipulators are not designed to work with loads exceeding 20 kg.
Always set the Weight paramet
ers according to the load. Setting a value that is
smaller than the actual load may cause errors, excessive shock, insufficient function of the Manipulator, and/or shorten the life cycle of parts/mechanisms
.

4.3.2 Inertia Setting
Moment of Inertia and the Inertia Setting
The moment of inertia is defined as “the ratio of the torque applied to a rigid body and its
resistance to motion”. This value is typically referred to as “the moment of inertia”,
“inertia”, or “GD
2
”. When the Manipulator operates with additional objects (such as an
end effector) attached to the shaft, the moment of inertia of load must be considered.
CAUTION
G10 series The
moment of inertia of the load (weight of the end effector and work piece)
must be
0.25 kgm2 or less. The G10 series Manipulators are not designed to
work with
a moment of inertia exceeding 0.25 kgm2.
G20 series The
moment of inertia of the load (weight of the end effector and work piece)
must be
0.45 kgm2 or less. The G20 series Manipulators are not designed to
work with
a moment of inertia exceeding 0.45 kgm2.
Always set the moment of inertia parameter to the correct moment of inertia. Setting a value that is smaller than the actual moment of inertia may cause errors,
excessive shock, insufficient function of the Manipulator, and/or shorten
the life cycle of parts/mechanisms
.
The acceptable moment of inertia of load for a G10 series and G20 series Manipulators are
as follows.
Rated
Max.
G10 series
0.02 kgm2
0.25 kgm2
G20 series
0.05 kgm2

When the moment of inertia of the load exceeds the rating, change the setting of the
moment of inertia parameter of the Inertia command. After the setting is changed, the
maximum acceleration/deceleration speed of Joint #4 at PTP motion corresponding to the
“moment of inertia” value is set automatically.

Eccentric Quantity and the Inertia Setting
CAUTION
The
eccentric quantity of load (weight of the end effector and work piece) must be
200 mm
or less. The G10 series and G20 series Manipulators are not designed
to work with
eccentric quantity exceeding 200 mm.
Always set the eccentric quantity parameter according to the eccentric quantity. Setting a value that is smaller than the actual eccentric quantity may cause errors, excessive shock, insufficient function of the Manipulator, and/or shorten the life cycle of parts/mechanisms
.
The acceptable eccentric quantity of load in G10 series and G20 series Manipulators is 0
mm at the default rating and 200 mm at the maximum. When the eccentric quantity of
load exceeds the rating, change the setting of eccentric quantity parameter of Inertia
command. After the setting is changed, the maximum acceleration/deceleration speed of
the Manipulator at PTP motion corresponding to the “eccentric quantity” is set
automatically.

4.4 Precautions for Auto Acceleration/Deceleration of Joint #3
When you move the Manipulator in horizontal PTP motion with Joint #3 (Z) at a high
position, the motion time will be faster.
When Joint #3 gets below a certain point, then auto acceleration/deceleration is used to
reduce acceleration/deceleration. (Refer to the figure below.) The higher the position
of the shaft is, the faster the motion acceleration/deceleration is. However, it takes more
time to move Joint #3 up and down. Adjust the position of Joint #3 for the Manipulator
motion after considering the relation between the current position and the destination
position.
The upper limit of Joint #3 during horizontal motion using Jump command can be set by
the LimZ command.

5. Motion Range
CAUTION
When setting up the motion range for safety, both the pulse range and mechanical stops must always be set at the same time.
The motion range is preset at the factory as explained in Setup & Operation: 5.4 Standard Motion Range. That is the maximum motion range of the Manipulator.
There are three methods for setting the motion range described as follows:
1. Setting by pulse range (for all joints)
2. Setting by mechanical stops (for Joints #1 to #3)
3. Setting the Cartesian (rectangular) range in the X, Y coordinate system of the
Manipulator (for Joints #1 and #2)

5.1 Motion Range Setting by Pulse Range
Pulses are the basic unit of Manipulator motion. The motion range of the Manipulator is
controlled by the pulse range between the pulse lower limit and upper limit of each joint.
Pulse values are read from the encoder output of the servo motor.
For the maximum pulse range, refer to the following sections.
The pulse range must be set inside of the mechanical stop range.
5.1.1 Max. Pulse Range of Joint #1
5.1.2 Max. Pulse Range of Joint #2
5.1.3 Max. Pulse Range of Joint #3
5.1.4 Max. Pulse Range of Joint #4.
Once the Manipulator receives an operating command, it checks whether the target
position specified by the command is within the pulse range before operating. If the
target position is out of the set pulse range, an error occurs and the Manipulator does not
move.
EPSON
RC+
The pulse range can be set on the [Range] panel shown by selecting [Tools]-[Robot
Manager]. (You may also execute the Range command from the [Command Window].)
5.1.1 Max. Pulse Range of Joint #1
The 0 (zero) pulse position of Joint #1 is the position where Arm #1 faces toward the
positive (+) direction on the X-coordinate axis.
When the 0 pulse is a starting point, the counterclockwise pulse value is defined as the positive (+) and the clockwise pulse value is defined as the negative (-).

5.2.2 Setting the Mechanical Stop of Joint #3
This method applies only to the Standard-model Manipulator (G10/G20-***S*) and
Protected-model Manipulator (G10/G20-***D* without bellows option).
For the Cleanroom-model (G10/G20-***C*) and Protected-model (G10/G20-***D* with

Push up the shaft while pressing the brake
release switch.
Do not push the shaft up to its upper limit
or it will be difficult for the arm top cover
to be removed. Push the shaft up to a
position where the Joint #3 mechanical stop

When you press
the brake release switch,
the shaft
may lower and rotate due to the
weight of the end effector.
Be sure to
hold the shaft by hand while pressing the
button.

(3) Turn OFF the

(4) Loosen the lower limit mechanical stop
set screw (2-M5×6).
A mechanical stop is mounted on both the top and bottom of Joint #3. However,
only the position of the lower limit mechanical stop on the top can be changed. Do
not remove the upper limit mechanical stop on the bottom because the calibration
point of Joint #3 is specified using the stop.
(5)
The upper end of the shaft
defines the
maximum stroke.
Move the lower limit
mechanical stop down by the length you
want to limit the stroke.
For example, when the lower limit
mechanical stop is set at “
420 mm” stroke,
the lower limit Z coordinate value is “
-420”. To change the value to “-100”,
move the lower limit mechanical stop down
320 mm”. Use calipers to measure the
distance when
adjusting the mechanical
stop.

5.4 Standard Motion Range
The following “motion range” diagrams show the standard (maximum) specification. When each Joint motor is under servo control, the center of Joint #3’s (shaft’s) lowest point moves in the areas shown in the figure.
“Area limited by mechanical stop” is the area where the center of Joint #3’s lowest point can be moved when each joint motor is not under servo control.
“Mechanical stop” sets the limited motion range so that the center of Joint #3 cannot move beyond the area mechanically.
“Maximum space” is the area that contains the farthest reach of the arms. If the maximum radius of the end effector is over 60 mm, add the “Area limited by mechanical stop” and “radius of the end effector”. The total value is specified as the maximum area.
