Chapter 3 Preparing the Robot
4 Transporting the Robot
WARNING
Serious injury may occur if the robot being transported falls and pins
someone under it.
• Use a hoist and rope with transporting capacity strong enough to sup-
port the robot weight.
• Make sure the rope stays securely on the hoist hook.
• Remove all loads attached to the robot end. If any load is still attached,
the robot balance may shift while being transported, and the robot may
topple over causing accidents.
• Always wear a safety helmet, safety shoes and gloves during this work.
• When transporting the robot by equipment such as a forklift, which
requires a license, only properly qualified personnel may operate such
equipment. The equipment and tools used for transporting the robot
should be serviced daily.
WARNING
Hands and fingers could get caught and serious injury could result if the
slider moves while transporting the robot.
Accidents could also result if the weight balance shifts and the robot drops,
etc.
• Fix the slider with a rope, etc., to prevent movement during transporta-
tion.
• Do not place fingers between frame and cover during transportation.
• Do not tilt the robot during transportation.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions when temporarily installing the robot.
Failure to observe these could cause injuries to hands or fingers if the
robot tilts over.
• Always fix the robots with bolts even when only temporarily installing
the robot.
• When temporarily installing the arm type without using bolts, set a
spacer under the arm, etc., to prevent the robot from tilting over. Make
sure that the spacer has sufficient strength and stability.
• The pole-type robot’s stability is especially poor, so take special care
to prevent tilting during temporary installation.
