Setup & Operation 4. Setting of End Effectors
E2C Rev.6 45
4.3 WEIGHT and INERTIA Settings
To ensure optimum Manipulator performance, it is important to make sure that the load
(weight of the end effector and work piece) and moment of inertia of the load are within
the maximum rating for the Manipulator, and that Joint #4 does not become eccentric.
If the load or moment of inertia exceeds the rating or if the load becomes eccentric, follow
the steps below,
4.3.1 and 4.3.2 , to set parameters.
Setting parameters makes the operation of the Manipulator optimal, reduces oscillation to
shorten the operating time, and improves the capacity for bigger load. In addition, it
reduces persistent oscillation produced when the moment of inertia of the end effector and
work piece is bigger.
4.3.1 WEIGHT Setting
CAUTION
■
The total weight of the end effector and the work piece must be 3 kg or less.
The E2C series Manipulators are not designed to work with loads exceeding
3 kg.
Always set the WEIGHT parameters according to the load. Setting a value that
is smaller than the actual load may cause errors, excessive shock, insufficient
function of the Manipulator, and/or shorten the life cycle of parts/mechanisms.
The acceptable weight capacity (end effector and work piece) in E2C series is 1 kg at the
rating and 3 kg at the maximum. When the load (weight of the end effector and work
piece) exceeds the rating, change the setting of WEIGHT parameter.
After the setting is changed, the maximum acceleration/deceleration speed of the robot
system corresponding to the “WEIGHT Parameter” is set automatically.
Load on the Shaft
The load (weight of the end effector and work piece) on the shaft can be set by WEIGHT
parameter.
The method for setting parameter varies with the software used.
