Wiring of the Force Sensor Cable
The following are recommended wiring examples of the Force Sensor and rough operation ranges of the Manipulator. For actual applications, fix the wiring according to your Manipulator use.
C8, C12 series-S250L, C8, C12 series-S250P
C8, C12 series Manipulator wiring example
Length of A-B (excess length for rotation of J5 and J6): 475mm

| A-C | Binding part |
| a | F-sensor cable connector |
C8, C12 series Manipulator rough operation range
J5 | J6 |
|---|---|
| 0 to 90 deg | -160 to 60 deg |
| -90 to 0 deg | -240 to 60 deg |
CAUTION
The cables may deform during storage. Caution is required this regard. The cable's bend radius is at least five times larger than the cable diameter (R=30 mm or larger).
The cable may rub against the Manipulator as shown in the photos below depending on the Manipulator motion.
When routing the cable, be extra careful in this regard, and check to make sure the cable does not touch or rub against the Manipulator.
GX series-S2503, S2506, S25010
Wiring example 1: When using the D-sub
GX8, GX10, and GX20 series use the user connector D-sub (9-pin) to install the Force Sensor.

| b | Force Sensor M/I connection cable |
| c | To Force Sensor I/F unit |
Wiring example 2: When using the cable duct, external wiring option, etc.
For GX4 series, install the cables on the exterior of the Manipulator using the cable duct.
When installing the cables outside the Manipulator, make sure to install the ground wire of the relay cable to the specified position on the Manipulator.

CAUTION
- The cables may deform during storage. Caution is required this regard. The cable's bend radius is at least five times larger than the cable diameter (R=30 mm or larger).
- The cable may rub against the Manipulator or get under tension as shown in the photo below depending on the Manipulator motion. When routing the cable, be careful in this regard and check if it touches and rubs against the Manipulator or is under tension.
