Installation Environment of the Robot Unit

Preparing a Proper Environment for Installation

Before installing the robot unit and robot controller, confirm that the operating environment is in conformity with each item of "Installation Precautions 1" in "SAFETY PRECAUTIONS". Also, take proper measures to protect the components from vibration.

In an inappropriate environment, the robot will not operate to its full capacity or performance, components may not last long, and unexpected failure may result.

Ambient Temperature and Humidity

Keep the ambient temperature between 0 to 40 ℃ during operation.

Keep the ambient humidity at 90 % or below to prevent dew condensation.

Vibration

Do not install the robot in an environment where it will be exposed to excessive vibration or impact.
To prevent damage of the installed robot from excessive impact or vibration during transportation, place the robot so that all axes contact with mechanical stoppers. Be sure to take measures to protect each axis such as wrapping up axis with cushions.

When the robot unit with the power off has undergone an excessive vibration during transportation, the ERROR 0x8320411* (Encoder reference position error) may occur.

If the ERROR 0x8320411* occurs when the robot power is first turned ON after purchase, refer to the "ERROR CODE TABLES" or contact the DENSO service representative.

Connecting the Robot Unit and Robot Controller

Before delivery, the robot unit and the robot controller are adjusted to each other as a set. If you purchase two or more robot systems, take care not to mistake each set when connecting robot units and controllers.

A robot set, which consists of a robot unit and a robot controller, have a common same serial number.

Installation Environment of the Robot Unit

The table below lists the installation requirements for the robot unit. Prepare a highly rigid mount.

Do not electric-weld the equipment including the robot. A large current may flow through the motor encoder or robot controller resulting in a failure. If electric welding is required, remove the robot unit and the robot controller from the equipment beforehand.

Installation Requirements for the Robot Unit

Safe installation environment Refer to Insuring the Proper Installation Environment of "SAFETY PRECAUTIONS".
Working space

・Sufficient service space must be available for inspection and disassembly.

・Keep space for cabling behind the robot, and secure the cables to the mounting face or beam so that the weight of the cables will not be directly applied to the connectors.

Cabling space for the motor and encoder cables

  • 190 mm or more for the straight connector type
  • 160 mm or more for the angle connector type
Grounding conditions Refer to "Grounding the Robot Unit".
