Chapter 1 Installing Robot Components
1.1 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.
1.1.1 Ambient Temperature and Humidity
Keep the ambient temperature between 0
°
C and 40
°
C during operation.
Keep the ambient humidity at 90% or below to prevent dew condensation.
1.1.2 Vibration
Do not install the robot in an environment where it will be exposed to excessive
vibration or impact.
Caution: When the excessive vibration is added to the robot unit at power-off
during transportation, ERROR 2AF1 (Encoder reference position
error) may occur.
If the ERROR 2AF1 occurs when turning the robot controller ON at
first after purchasing the robot, refer to the “ERROR CODE
TABLES” or contact our Robot Service Section.
1.1.3 Connecting the Robot Unit and Robot Controller
Before delivery, the robot unit and the robot controller are configured as a set. If you
purchase two or more robot systems, take care not to mistake each set when
connecting robot units and controllers.
Caution: The robot unit and robot controller in a set are given the same serial
number.
1.1.4 Installation Environment of the Robot Unit
The installation requirements for the robot unit are shown on the next page. Prepare a
highly rigid mount by referring to the figure on page 4.
Caution 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.
