Caution
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
66
12.2 Push Force of the Vertical Axis
Set the push force of the vertical axis by referring to the graph below.
Relationship of push force and push
torque limit during positioning
Push force (N)
Push torque limit during positioning (%)
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
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. Precautions for Use

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 work part at 0.015 kgmm
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.)

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.
