Relocation and Storage
Safety Information for Relocation and Storage
Pay attention to the following requirements when relocating, storing, and transporting the Manipulators.
Transportation and installation of the Manipulator and related equipment should be performed by people who have received installation training provided by Epson and the suppliers. Also, the laws and regulations of the installation country must be followed.
WARNING
- Only qualified personnel should perform sling work and operate a crane or a forklift. When these operations are performed by unqualified personnel, it is extremely hazardous and may result in serious bodily injury to operators and/or severe equipment damage.
CAUTION
Before relocating, fold the arm and secure it tightly with a cable tie to prevent hands or fingers from getting caught in the Manipulator.
When removing the anchor bolts, support the Manipulator so that it does not fall. Removing the anchor bolts without supporting the Manipulator can cause it to fall, causing hands or feet to get caught.
The Manipulator should be transported by two or more people, either secured to transporting equipment or carried by placing their hands under Arm #1 or the bottom of the base. When holding the bottom of the base by hand, be extremely careful not to get your hands or fingers caught.
Be sure to always use two or more people when installing or relocating the Manipulator. The Manipulator weights are as follows. Be careful not to get hands or feet caught or have equipment damaged due to dropping of the Manipulator.

When transporting the Manipulator over long distances, secure it directly to transporting equipment so that it will not fall. If necessary, pack the Manipulator using the same packaging as delivery.
When the Manipulator is reassembled and used for a robot system again after an extended period of storage, perform a test run to verify that it works properly before starting the main operation.
Manipulators should be transported and stored under the following conditions: Temperature: -20 to +60°C, Humidity: 10 to 90% (no condensation).
If condensation has formed on the Manipulator during transportation or storage, do not turn on the power until the condensation is removed.
Do not subject the Manipulator to excessive impacts or vibrations during the transportation process.
Turn off all power, and remove the wiring and tubes connected to the Manipulator.
Note
If using variable mechanical stops for Joints #1 and #2 and the operating angle is limited, change to the mechanical stop positions at factory shipping.
While supporting the bottom of Arm #1 by hand so that the Manipulator does not fall over, remove the anchor bolts. Then, remove the Manipulator from the base table.
