be saved by the backup battery. The controller also uses a backup battery to save the program, etc. The battery
is the lithium battery. These batteries are installed when the robot is shipped from the factory, but as these are
consumable parts, they must be replaced periodically by the customer.
The guideline for replacing the battery is one year, but this will differ according to the robot's usage state. There
exists the kinds of the errors about the battery shown in
. If error 7500 occurs, please exchange the
battery of the robot arm and the controller simultaneously.
