3 Installation Environment and Storage Environment
3.1 Installation Environment
Install the robot in an environment that satisfies the following conditions:
x
Away from direct sunlight
x
Not subject to radiated heat from a high-capacity energy source such as a heat-treating furnace
x
Ambient temperature: 0
q
C to 40
q
C
x
Humidity: 85% or less (non-condensing)
x
Not exposed to corrosive or flammable gases
x
Not subject to impact or vibration
x
Not exposed to a significant amount of electromagnetic waves, ultraviolet rays or radiation
x
Sufficient space is available to ensure safety in teaching and maintenance/inspection operations
Generally, the robot must be installed where the operator need not wear protective gear in order to work.
The protection class of the dust-proof/splash-proof specification against intrusion of water and powder
dust conforms to the dust-proof/splash-proof structure corresponding to JIS B8438 and IP65.
<Explanation of IP65>
6 --- A degree of protection against intrusion of solid objects. Powder dust will not enter the structure.
5 --- A degree of protection against water intrusion. Water jet sprayed at any angle will not have
harmful effect on the structure.
According to the IP standard, the water jet pressure is 30 kPa (30 KN/m
2
, 0.3 kgf/cm
2
), injection
speed is 12.5 liters/min, and duration of spray is 3 minutes.
Please note that the dust-proof/splash-proof specification does not provide an explosion-proof structure.
The robot must be installed in an environment satisfying the following conditions:
y
Will not become immersed in liquid.
y
Free from fine shavings generated by grinding, etc.
y
Free from cutting oil.
y
Free from mist of cutting fluid, grinding fluid or other liquids containing sulfur.
* The robot controller is not dust-proof or splash-proof.
* Please contact IAI regarding the robot’s splash-proof performance against liquids other than
water.
* The bellows may change color depending on the use environment, but discoloration does not
affect the robot’s splash-proof performance.
z
The dust-proof/splash-proof specification has a water drain hole at the bottom of the robot base.
Therefore, do not let the bottom of the robot base submerge in water. Water will enter the robot.
z
Do not use the dust-proof/splash-proof specification in an environment subject to water or
powder-dust attacks exceeding the specified protection class. Water or powder dust may enter
the robot.
z
The dust-proof/splash-proof specification has a purge air inlet at the back of the base. Intrusion of
powder dust into the robot can be prevented by supplying air through this inlet.
