Robot Modifications
It is sometimes necessary to modify the robot in order to successfully integrate it into a
workcell. Unfortunately, many seemingly simple modifications can either cause a robot
failure or reduce the robot’s performance, reliability, or lifetime. The following
information is provided as a guideline to modifications.
Acceptable Modifications
In general, the following robot modifications will not cause problems, but may affect
robot performance:
• Attaching tooling, utility boxes, solenoid packs, vacuum pumps, screwdrivers,
cameras, lighting, etc., to the inner link, outer link, or J1 harness support.
• Attaching hoses, pneumatic lines, or cables to the robot. These should be designed
so they do not restrict joint motion or cause robot motion errors.
WARNING:
The instructions for installation, operation,
and maintenance given in this User’s Guide must be
strictly observed.
