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 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.
Connecting the Robot Unit and Robot Controller
Before delivery, the robot unit and the robot controller are configured as a set. If purchasing two or more robot systems, take care not to mistake combination set when connecting robot units and controllers.
The robot unit and robot controller in a set are given the same serial number.
Installation Environment of the Robot Unit
The installation requirements for the robot unit are shown in the table below. Prepare a highly rigid mount by referring to the figure below.
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.
| Item | Environments and Conditions |
|---|---|
| Flatness of the mount | 0.1/500 mm Refer to "Mount Example". |
| Rigidity of the mount | Use steel materials. Refer to "Mount Example". |
| Installation type | Floor-mount |
| 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/s^2 (0.5 G) or less |
| During storage and transportation: 29.4 m/s^2 (3 G) or less | |
| Safe installation environment | Refer to "Insuring the Proper Installation Environment". |
| Working space, etc. | Sufficient service space must be available for inspection and disassembly. Keep a wiring route from the robot unit to the controller, 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. |
| Grounding conditions | Refer to the functional ground, "Grounding of Robot Unit". |
- 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.
- Some mounts may produce a resonance sound (howling) when the robot is in motion. If this sound is loud, increase the rigidity of the mount or adjust the robot speed.
