5 Precautions for Use
5.1 Reference Acceleration/Deceleration Settings
Use the robot based on appropriate acceleration/deceleration settings by referring to the following graph:
(1) PTP operations (Use the ACCS/DCLS instructions of the SEL language for setting.)
Reference acceleration/deceleration
settings for PTP operation
Reference range of
maximum setting
5. Precautions for Use
Acceleration/deceleration (%)
Reference range for
continuous operation setting
Carrying load mass (kg)
Caution
z Acceleration/deceleration settings are common to arm lengths of 250 and 350 mm.
z To operate the robot at the maximum acceleration/deceleration, provide a stopping period of three
seconds or more after each acceleration/deceleration.
z To operate axes 1 and 2 simultaneously at full stroke, use the reference settings for
acceleration/deceleration during continuous operation as the reference settings for maximum
acceleration/deceleration. Actual acceleration/deceleration during continuous operation should be
one-third the appropriate reference setting for continuous operation.
z Start from the appropriate reference setting for acceleration/deceleration during continuous
operation, and then gradually raise the value for the purpose of adjustment.
z If an overload error occurs, lower the acceleration/deceleration setting as appropriate or provide
an appropriate stopping time following each acceleration/deceleration.
z Depending on the position of the vertical axis, the robot may generate vibration when axis 1, axis
2 or the rotational axis turns. If vibration occurs, lower the acceleration/deceleration as
appropriate.
z To move the robot horizontally at high speed, keep the vertical axis as close as possible to the top
position. If the vertical axis is operated at the bottom position, the spline shaft for the ball screw
will bend and the vertical axis will be disabled.
z Keep the permissible moment of inertia of axis 4 to 0.015 kgm or less.
z The carrying load indicates a load above the rotational center of axis 4.
z Operate the robot by using an appropriate acceleration/deceleration coefficient as determined by
the mass of the positioning precision. Failure to do so may cause the drive part to wear
prematurely or may result in damage or vibration.

5.2 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.
If the tool interferes with peripheral equipment, decrease the soft limit to reduce the operation area.
Use the D-cut surface at the positioning precision 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.)
5. Precautions for Use

5. Precautions for Use
Center of axis 4 (rotational axis)
Load’s center of gravity
40 mm or less
Caution
z Set appropriate acceleration/deceleration according to the mass of the positioning precision and
moment of inertia. Failure to do so may cause the drive part to wear prematurely or may result in
damage or vibration.
z If vibration occurs, lower the acceleration/deceleration as appropriate.
z 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.
z 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.
