2-6-2 Changing the cable routing direction (F Type)
The cable in F type robots (F10, F14, F17, F20 series) can be run out (extracted) in any direction.
Limits on wiring directions have been eliminated and vertical or horizontal installations are made
possible for efficient use of space. Methods for changing the cable routing (extraction) direction
are shown below. (The standard cable extraction slot is on the rear side when shipped from the
factory.)
Standard cable extraction direction
1) Remove the upper cover and motor endplate. (On the F10, remove both upper and lower
motor covers and endplate.)
2) Remove the robot cable from the endplate.
3) Change the cable extraction (routing) direction.
Top extraction : Clip the endplate cable installation slot with wire nippers or similar tool, fit
a robot cable grommet into that slot and route the cable out through that slot.
Side extraction : Fit a robot cable grommet into the side routing bracket and route the cable
out through that slot. (Side extraction is not possible on the F10.)

NOTE
When routing the cable from the opposite side, you must change the clamping
position of the cable routing bracket. (Change the ground wire installation position to
the opposite side at this time.)
4) Reattach the endplate and upper cover (or motor upper and lower covers) back to their origi-
nal positions.
