How to Install
This section describes how to install the Force Sensor.
Warning
- Before performing any work, turn OFF the Controller and related equipment, and then disconnect the power plug from the power source. Performing any work with the power ON is extremely hazardous and it may result in electric shock and/or improper function of the robot system.
- Be sure to connect the cables properly. Do not allow unnecessary strain on the cables. (Do not put heavy objects on the cables. Do not bend or pull the cables forcibly.) Unnecessary strain on the cables may result in damage to the cables, disconnection, and/or contact failure. Damaged cables, disconnection, or contact failure is extremely hazardous and may result in electric shock and/or improper function of the system.
- Do not touch the sensor circuit board and FFC cables when mounting the Force Sensor. It may result in damage to the cables and connectors, disconnection, and/or contact failure, and may result in electric shock and/or improper function of the system.
CAUTION
Install the Force Sensor to the Manipulator properly by referring to the following section.
Hardware Installing the Force Sensor
Installing the Force Sensor in an improper manner may cause accuracy degradation or malfunction of the sensor.
Install the Force Sensor to the Manipulator with the recommended tightening torque. If the Force Sensor is fixed with an improper torque, it may result in abnormal sensor performance. If the Force Sensor is fixed with the tightening torque lower than the recommended torque, the Force Sensor may fall during the Manipulator operation and may result in damage to the sensor and the system.
When installing the sensor cables to the Manipulator, fix them so as not to interfere with the Manipulator's operation range.
Also, load may be applied to the cables even in the movable range of the cables and it may cause cable breakage.
