Environment

To ensure that the robot system operates and maintains maximum performance and to ensure its safe use, the robot system should be installed in an environment that meets the following requirements.

Item Conditions
Ambient temperature *

Installation: 5 to 40°C

Transport, storage: -20 to 60°C

Ambient relative humidity

Installation: 10 to 80% (no condensation)

Transport, storage: 10 to 90% (no condensation)

Fast transient burst noise 1 kV or less (signal line)
Electrostatic noise 4 kV or less
Altitude 1000 m or less
Environment
  • Install indoors.
  • Keep away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep away from dust, oily smoke, salinity, metal powder, and other contaminants.
  • Keep away from flammable or corrosive liquids and gases.
  • Keep away from water.
  • Keep away from shocks or vibrations.
  • Keep away from sources of electric noise.
  • Keep away from explosive areas.
  • Keep away from large quantities of radiation.

* The ambient temperature requirement is for the Manipulator only. For details on the environment requirements for the connected Controller, refer to the Robot Controller manual.

KEY POINTS


If the Manipulator will be used in a location that does not meet the above requirements, please contact the supplier.

KEY POINTS


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.

KEY POINTS


If there are conductive objects such as fences or ladders within 2.5 m of the Manipulator, these objects must be grounded.

Special environmental requirements
Manipulator surfaces are generally oil-resistant, but if special oils are to be used, oil resistance should be checked before use. For more information, please contact the supplier.

In environments with rapid changes in temperature and humidity, condensation may form inside the Manipulator.

When handling food directly, it is necessary to make sure that the Manipulator is not likely to contaminate the food. For more information, please contact the supplier.

The Manipulator cannot be used in corrosive environments where acids or alkalis are present. In environments where rust can easily form, such as those exposed to salt, rust may also form on the Manipulator.

WARNING


  • Always use a circuit breaker for the Controller's power supply. Failure to use a circuit breaker may result in an electrical shock hazard or malfunction due to an electrical leakage. Select the correct circuit breaker based on the Controller that you are using. For details, refer to the following manual.

    "Robot Controller Manual"

CAUTION


  • When cleaning the Manipulator, do not rub it strongly with alcohol or benzene. Coated surfaces may lose their luster.
