1.2 General Safety Guidelines
The customer should verify that the transducer selected is rated for maximum loads and moments expected
during operation. Refer to F/T Transducer Manual (9620-05-Transducer Section—Installation and Operation
Manual) or contact ATI Industrial Automation for assistance. Particular attention should be paid to dynamic
loads caused by robot acceleration and deceleration. These forces can be many times the value of static
forces in high acceleration or deceleration situations.
1.3 Safety Precautions
CAUTION:
Do not remove any fasteners or disassemble the Wireless F/T. This
will cause irreparable damage to the Wireless F/T and void the warranty. Leave all
fasteners in place and do not disassemble the Wireless F/T.
CAUTION:
Do not remove any fasteners or disassemble transducers without a
removable mounting adapter plate, these include Nano, Mini, IP-rated, and some
Omega transducers. This will cause irreparable damage to the transducer and void the
warranty. Leave all fasteners in place and do not disassemble the transducer.
CAUTION:
Do not exert excessive force on the transducer. The transducer is a
sensitive instrument and can be damaged by applying force exceeding the single-axis
overload values of the transducer and cause irreparable damage. Small Nano and Mini
transducers can easily be overloaded during installation, refer to the F/T Transducer
manual (9620-05-Transducer Section) for specific transducer overload values.
