KEY POINTS
Remove the mechanical stops if using them to limit the motion range. For details on the motion range, refer to the following section.
Setting the Work Envelope by Mechanical Stops
Unscrew the anchor bolts. Then, remove the Manipulator from the base table.
Then, secure the Manipulator to the delivery equipment or have at least 2 people to transport the Manipulator.
Using eyebolts
Check that the eyebolts are securely fastened before transporting the Manipulator. After transporting the Manipulator, remove the eyebolts and keep them for future use.
The eyebolts and wire must be strong enough to withstand the weight (See the figures below).
If you use the eyebolts to lift up the Manipulator, make sure to put hands on it to keep the balance. The Manipulator may fall if the balance is lost and this is extremely hazardous.
To prevent damage on the covers and arms, it is recommended to protect the contacting parts of the wire and arm with a cloth.
