Installation Environment of the Robot Unit

Before installing the robot unit and robot controller, confirm that the operating environment is in conformity with each item of "SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, Installation 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 ℃ and 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. When two or more robots are to be used, use the robots and robot controllers that have been adjusted to each other as a set.

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 as shown on the next page.

  • 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.
  • In operation, do not apply any direct jet flow into the bellows.
Item Environments and Conditions
Flatness of the mount 0.1/500 mm (See the next page.)
Rigidity of the mount Use steel materials. (See the next page.)
Installation type Floor-mount or overhead-mount (Only for HSS-G)
Ambient temperature

During operation: 0 to 40 ℃

During storage and transportation: -10 to 60 ℃

Humidity

During operation: 20 to 90% RH (No dew condensation allowed.)

During storage and transportation: 40 to 75% RH (No dew condensation allowed.)

Vibration

During operation: 4.9 m/s2 (0.5 G) or less

During storage and transportation: 29.4 m/s2 (3 G) or less

Altitude During operation: 1,000 m or less
Safe installation environment

Refer to the SAFETY PRECAUTIONS,"Insuring the proper

installation environment"

Working space, etc.

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

• Keep wiring space behind the robot, and fasten the wiring to the mounting face or beam so that the weight of the cables will not be directly applied to the connectors.

Wiring space for motor and encoder cable must be at least

  • 190 mm for a straight connector standard type,
  • 230 mm for a straight connector splash-proof type,
  • 160 mm for an angle connector.
Grounding conditions See "Grounding the Robot Unit".

Robot Mount Sample for Floor-mount Type

  1. When the robot operates at high speed, the robot mount undergoes large reaction forces. The mount must be rigid enough so that it will not vibrate or be displaced due to reaction forces. It is also advisable to mechanically join the robot mount with heavy equipment.
  2. Some mounts may produce a resonance sound (howling). If this sound is loud, increase the rigidity of the mount or slightly modify the robot speed.

Robot Mount Sample for Overhead-mount Type

  1. When the robot operates at high speed, the top plate structure undergoes large reaction forces. The robot mount must be vibration-proof so that the top plate will not vibrate due to reaction forces. Also it must be designed to be separated from other top plate structures in the equipment.
  2. Some mounts may produce a resonance sound (howling). If this sound is loud, increase the rigidity of the mount or slightly modify the robot speed.
