The platform must have sufficient rigidity to withstand not only the weight of the robot but also the dynamic
moment of inertia that is generated when the robot is operated at maximum speed.
Secure the platform to the floor or other rigid structure in a manner that prevents any movement due to
operation of the robot.
The installation platform must allow the robot to be mounted on a level surface.

8.3 Storage/Preservatoin Environment
The storage/preservation environment conforms to the installation environment. If the robot is to be
stored/preserved for a prolonged period of time, be sure the robot will not be exposed to dew condensation.
Unless otherwise specified, desiccant is not placed in the carton when shipped. If the robot is to be kept in an
environment subject to condensation, provide preventive measures from over the carton or directly to the robot
after unpacking.
The maximum storage/preservation temperature is 60C for a short storage/preservation period. If the robot is to
be stored for more than a month, the temperature should not exceed 50C.
WarningDanger
Failure to provide a proper environment for installation and storage/preservation may shorten the service
life of the robot, reduce its operation precision, or cause a malfunction or failure.
Never use the robot in a flammable atmosphere. The robot may explode or ignite.

9.1 Notes on Installation
9.2
In the case of the ceiling-mount specification, the robot will move to points above the base installation surface when
the vertical axis (Z-axis) is moved to the top position.
In the case of the inverse specification, the robot will move to points below the base installation surface when the
vertical axis (Z-axis) is moved to the bottom position.
Additionally, when performing an absolute reset, the vertical axis (Z-axis) must be moved to the top position in the
case of the ceiling-mount specification or to the bottom position in the case of the inverse specification (home-return
operation).
Therefore, install the robot in such a way that the vertical axis will not collide with the ceiling or platform during an
absolute reset.
It is recommended that the pedestal be constructed in such a way that contact with the robot will not occur within the
robot’s range of movement (see the figure below). If the pedestal cannot be constructed as shown below, be sure to
reduce the robot’s range of movement using soft-limits and prevent the robot from contacting the pedestal.

10. Connecting the Controller
The controller connection cables are attached on the robot (standard cable: 5 m, to air-tube joint: 150 mm).
Pay attention to the following items when connecting the controller:
• Connect to the robot of the serial number specified on the robot designation label provided on the front panel
of the controller.
• Connect the cables securely after confirming that they are free from damage or bent connector pins.
• Connect each cable by aligning the indication on the marking tube on the cable with the indication on the
controller panel.
• When installing the PG connector (D-sub connector), ensure correct orientation of the connector.
•
Please prepare the dedicated 24V DC power source for the brake power circuit of Horizontal Articulated
Robot since it is on the primary (high pressure) side.
Do not attempt to share the secondary circuit power sources such as I/O power source.
The brake power to be supplied to Horizontal Articulated Robot should be 24V DC ±10% and the voltage
source capacity 20W.
The brake power to be supplied to the controller should be 24V DC ±10% and the voltage source capacity 9W.
(Note) It is necessary to increase the voltage source capacity of the brake power source if brake actuators are
to be connected to the 5th and 6th axes of the controller. [Refer to the section of the voltage source
capacity and heat generation in the controller operation manual.]
10. Connecting the Controller
Refer to the operation manuals for the controller and PC software for the procedures to connect the I/O cable,
controller power cable, PC connection cable, etc.

(2) CP operation (Set using the SEL Language commands ACC and DCL.)
When PTP operation is performed with the acceleration/deceleration set to 100%, the optimal
acceleration/deceleration function adjusts the maximum acceleration/acceleration at which the robot can
accelerate/decelerate carrying the load weight set by the WGHT command, to 100%.
Be sure to set the mass and inertial moment using the WGHT command.
Never set in the WGHT command a value smaller than the load mass installed on the vertical axis.
If such smaller value is set, the robot accelerates/decelerates at the maximum acceleration/deceleration
permitted for the applicable load weight or even higher, and consequently the SCARA robot may stop by
generating an error or break down.
Start from the appropriate reference setting for acceleration/deceleration during continuous operation, and
then gradually raise the value for the purpose of adjustment.
Operate the SCARA robot by maintaining an acceleration/deceleration appropriate for the applicable mass
and inertial moment. If not, the life of the driving part may be shortened or damage or vibration may result.
If an overload error (error code: D0A) occurs, lower the acceleration/deceleration setting or provide an
appropriate stopping time based on the reference duty for continuous operation.
Duty (%) = (Continuous operation / (Continuous operation + Stopping time)) / 100
To move arm 1 or 2 of the SCARA robot horizontally at high speed, keep the vertical axis near the top
position. If such high-speed operation is performed with the vertical axis lowered, the vertical axis may
vibrate.
Be sure to keep the inertial moment and carrying load at the allowable values or less.
The carrying load represents the inertial moment and mass at the center of rotation of axis 4. If the
acceleration/deceleration is raised when the inertial moment far exceeds the allowable value, control is
disabled in the rotating direction.
Depending on the position of the vertical axis, the vertical axis may generate vibration when the inertial
moment of the load is high. If vibration occurs, lower the acceleration/deceleration.
12. Precautions for Use

Set the push force of the vertical axis by referring to the graph below.
Relationship of push force and push

Push-motion operating speed: 10 mm/sec
Caution
Use the PUSH command to perform push-motion operation involving the vertical axis. If push-motion
operation is performed without using the PUSH command, the life of the driving part may be shortened or
damage or vibration may result.
Push force can be changed by driver card parameter No. 38, “Torque limit during positioning.”
When performing push-motion operation, keep the speed to 10 mm/sec or below.
If the speed exceeds 10 mm/sec, provide a shock-reducing mechanism to keep the vertical axis from
receiving shock.
The graph of push force and push torque limit during positioning shows characteristics when no load is
installed on the vertical axis. In downward push-motion operation, the applicable push force increases by
12. Precautions for Use
the load mass.
In upward push-motion operation with the inverse specification, the applicable push force decreases by the
load mass.
Push force is controlled by servo motor current. No control is implemented based on feedback of push
force.
Push force is subject to a variation of approx. 5%.

12.3 Tools
The tool mounting part must have sufficient strength and rigidity, along with adequate fastening power to prevent
positional shift.
It is recommended that a tool be installed over a split ring, span ring or other appropriate part. A sample
configuration of tool installation is given below.
Set the tool diameter to 100 mm or less. If the tool diameter exceeds 100 mm, the tool will interfere with the
robot within the robot’s operation area. If the tool diameter exceeds 100 mm or the tool interferes with peripheral
equipment, decrease the soft limits to reduce the operation area.
Also keep the inertial moment of the tool and load at the allowable value or less. (Refer to 11.4, “Carrying Load.”)
Use the D-cut surface at the end of axis 4 (rotational axis) to adjust the position (direction) of axis 4. To set the
rotating direction using the D-cut surface and setscrews, be sure to use setscrews with resin or brass pad or set
pieces made of soft material.
(Avoid attachment of the tool at the D-cut surface via thread fastening. Doing so may damage the D-cut
positioning surface.)

CautionWarning
Turn off the power to the controller and robot before installing a tool.
If the tool mounting part does not have sufficient strength, it may break while the robot is operating and
cause the tool to detach and fly off.
If the tool diameter exceeds 100 mm, the tool will contact the robot within the robot’s operation area,
causing damage to the tool, load and/or robot.
Avoid attachment of the tool at the D-cut surface via thread fastening. Doing so may damage the D-cut
positioning surface.

Caution
Set appropriate acceleration/deceleration according to the mass of the end and moment of inertia. Failure to
do so may cause the drive part to wear prematurely or may result in damage or vibration.
If vibration occurs, lower the acceleration/deceleration as appropriate.
If the load gets offset, the robot becomes more likely to cause vibration. Design the tools so that the load’s
center of gravity aligns with the center of axis 4.
Do not move the robot horizontally with axis 3 (vertical axis) extended. It may cause the vertical axis to bend
and disable the axis. To move the robot horizontally with axis 3 extended, adjust the speed and
acceleration/deceleration as appropriate.

It is recommended that an adjustment jig be used to perform an absolute reset. With arm 1 or 2,
however, rotation data can be reset as long as a positioning accuracy of “center of positioning mark label
1 graduation” is ensured.

(10) Remove the adjustment jig.
If you are working on arm 1, install the cover and secure it with the setscrews (not required for arm 2).
(11) Release the emergency-stop switch.
(12) Click the “OK” button.
An arrow is shown next to the “Home pos. automatic update” button. Do not set this item. (In particular, be
sure this item is not set when performing an absolute reset without using a jig).
If the home position is updated automatically when a reset is performed without using an adjustment jig, the
home position will become offset.
If you have allowed the home preset value to be updated automatically by mistake, do not write the updated
data to the flash ROM. Instead, perform a software reset. (After the software reset, the data will return to the
original condition before the home preset value was automatically updated.)
Always click the “OK” button after removing the jig and releasing the emergency-stop switch.
(13) Click “X” in the top right-hand corner to exit the absolute reset window.
Once the absolute reset is complete, be sure to reset the software.
Warning
Be careful not to perform a reset using an incorrect sequence, since it may cause the arm position to
become offset.
13. Maintenance and Inspection
Update the home preset value only if any of the mechanical settings has been changed, such as after an
arm has been replaced. (Changes relating to joints only)
