Fig. 3.14 Axis-2 working envelope setting (TVL700)
<2> Examples of changing axis-2 working envelope and the change method
Desired operating ranges of the machine can be set up by changing the shapes of
the mechanical stoppers for the TVL500/TVL700 robot. A design example of a
mechanical stopper is explained below using the VL500 robot as an example. By
referring to Fig. 3.15 to Fig. 3.18 as needed, the customer needs to design and
produce a mechanical stopper on the base turning side.
If a working envelope position is changed, the soft limit must be changed. As for
the change of soft limits, see the "Instruction Manual: User Parameters" provided
as a separate volume.
