*1: Mounting types other than “Table Top mounting”, “Ceiling mounting”, and “Wall mounting” are out of specification.

*2: When PTP commands are used

*3: Do not apply a load exceeding the maximum payload.

*4: When the center of gravity of the load is aligned with the center position of each arm
When the center of gravity is away from the center of each arm, set the eccentricity using the INERTIA command.

*5: For details on the environmental conditions, refer to the following.
Environment
When used in a low-temperature environment near the minimum temperature specified in the product specifications, or when the unit is idle for a long period of time during holidays or at night, a collision detection error or similar error may occur immediately after the start of operation due to high resistance in the drive unit. In such cases, warm-up operation for about 10 minutes is recommended.

*6: The conditions at measurement are as follows.

  • Operating conditions of the Manipulator:
    Under rated load, all arms simultaneous motion, maximum speed, and maximum acceleration/deceleration
    VT6L: Duty 50%
  • Measurement location
    1000 mm away from the rear side of the Manipulator

*7: Manipulators with cleanroom specifications discharge the exhaust inside of the base and inside of the arm cover section together. Consequently, if there is a gap in the base section, the arm tip section will not be sufficiently negatively pressurized, which may result in dust generation.

  • Cleanliness
    ISO Class 4 (ISO14644-1)
  • Exhaust port:
    Fitting for ø12 mm pneumatic tube
    60 L/min during suction
  • Application exhaust tube:
    Polyurethane tube outer diameter ø12 mm (inner diameter ø8 mm)

*8: The Accel setting of "100" is the optimum setting that balances acceleration/deceleration and vibration during positioning. The Accel setting can be set higher than 100 but may result in shortening the lifespan if it is continuously used with a large value. Therefore, it is recommended to limit setting such high values for motions that are absolutely necessary.

*9: The upper limit of AccelS varies depending on the load. For details, refer to the following figure. Setting the value which exceeds the maximum AccelS causes an error. Check the setting value.
