Special Environmental Conditions
The surface of the Manipulator has general oil resistance. However, if your requirements
specify that the Manipulator must withstand certain kinds of oil, please contact the supplier
of your region.
Rapid change in temperature and humidity can cause condensation inside the Manipulator.
If your requirements specify that the Manipulator handles food, please contact the supplier
of your region to check whether the Manipulator will damage the food or not.
The Manipulator cannot be used in corrosive environments where acid or alkaline is used.
In a salty environment where the rust is likely to gather, the Manipulator is susceptible to
rust.
WARNING
■ Use an earth leakage breaker on the AC power cable of the Controller to avoid
the electric shock and circuit breakdown. Prepare the earth leakage breaker that
pertains the Controller you are using. For details, refer to the Robot Controller
manual.
CAUTION
■ When cleaning the Manipulator, do not rub it strongly with alcohol or benzene.
It may lose luster on the coated face.
2.4.3 Noise level
About noise level due to manipulator operation, refer to the following manual.
Manipulator manual Appendix A. Specifications Table
2.4.4 Base Table
A base table for anchoring the Manipulator is not supplied. Please make or obtain the
base table for your Manipulator. The shape and size of the base table differs depending
on the use of the robot system. For your reference, we list some Manipulator table
requirements here.
The base table must not only be able to bear the weight of the Manipulator but also be able
to withstand the dynamic movement of the Manipulator when it operates at maximum
acceleration. Ensure that there is enough strength on the base table by attaching
reinforcing materials such as crossbeams.
The torque and reaction force produced by Manipulator motion are as follows:
GX4 GX8
Max. Reaction torque on
the horizontal plate (N·m)
500 700
Max. Horizontal reaction

2,000 4,000
Max. Vertical reaction

Threaded holes for
Mounting screw
M8 M8 or M10*
*: M8 or M10 for Table Top Mounting and Ceiling Mounting. M8 for Wall Mounting.
Use the mounting bolts conforming to the strength of ISO898-1 property class 10.9 or 12.9.
The plate for the Manipulator mounting face should be 20 mm thick or more and made of
steel to reduce vibration. The surface roughness of the steel plate should be 25 μm or less.
