Transporting Method
2.1.1
Using a Crane
As a rule, when removing the manipulator from the package and moving it, a crane should be
used. The manipulator should be lifted using wire rope threaded through attached eyebolts.
Be sure the manipulator is fixed with shipping bolts and brackets before transportation, and lift
it in the posture as shown in "Fig. 2 Transporting Position".
• Sling and crane or forklift operations must be performed by authorized
personnel only.
Failure to observe this caution may result in injury or damage.
• Avoid excessive vibration or shock during transportation.
The system consists of precision components, so failure to observe this caution may
adversely affect performance.
• Check that the eyebolts are securely fastened.
• The mass of the manipulator is approximately 280 kg including the shipping bolts and
brackets. Use a wire rope strong enough to withstand the mass.
• Attached eyebolts are designed to support the manipulator mass. Do not use them for
anything other than transporting the manipulator.
• Be sure to mount the shipping bolts and brackets before transporting the manipulator.
(Refer to "Fig. 2 Transporting Position.")
• Avoid external force on the arm or motor unit when transporting the manipulator. Use
caution when using transporting equipment other than a crane or forklift to avoid injury.
