2.2.5 Grounding procedures
(1) Grounding methods
1) There are three grounding methods as shown in
, but the dedicated grounding (
Fig. 2-5 (a)
)
should be used for the robot arm and controller
when possible. (Refer to the separate " Controller
Setup, Basic Operation and Maintenance" for
details on the controller grounding.)
2) Use Class D grounding (grounding resistance
100Ω or less).
Dedicated grounding separated from the other
devices should be used.
3) Use a AWG#11(3.5mm
2
) or more stranded wire for
the grounding wire. The grounding point should be
as close to the robot arm and controller as possi
-
ble, and the length of the grounding wire should
be short.
Fig.2-5 ： Grounding methods
(2) Grounding procedures
1) Prepare the grounding cable (AWG#14(2mm
2
) or
more) and robot side installation screw and washer.
2) If there is rust or paint on the grounding screw sec
-
tion (A), remove it with a file, etc.
3) Connect the grounding cable to the grounding screw
section.
