*1: Manipulators with cleanroom & ESD specifications (GX8-A/GX8-B/GX8-C***C*) discharge the exhaust inside of the base and inside of the arm cover together.
Connect the exhaust tube to the exhaust port on the back (or bottom) of the base.
If the exhaust discharge rate is not sufficient, dust generation will exceed the specifications.

  • Cleanliness:
    Class ISO 3 (ISO 14644-1)
  • Exhaust
    • Exhaust port dimensions: Inner diameter ø 12 mm
    • Compatible exhaust tubes
      • Polyurethane tubes
      • Outer diameter ø12 mm (Inner diameter ø8 mm)
      • Recommended exhaust discharge rate: About 1,000 cm3/s (standard state)

ESD specifications (GX8-A/GX8-B/GX8-C***E*) are specifications that use conductive materials for or apply plating to the major resin parts as anti-static measures.
We have confirmed that the Manipulator tip (tool mounting section) is at ±5 V or less, even directly after the measuring operation according to Seiko Epson standards.
If you need any other detailed information, please contact the supplier.
Also, please check the amount of charge on any hand, wiring, or the like that you will attach to the robot on your own before use.

*2: The IP (International Protection) rating for Manipulators with protected-models is an international standard indicating the degree of protection against dust and water.

Model Protection Class
GX8-A/GX8-B/GX8-C***P* IP65 Dust protection level: 6 No ingress of dust
Water protection level: 5 Water which is directed against the enclosure from any direction as a jet shall not have any harmful effects or impair performance.

*3: When PTP statements are used
The maximum operating speed in CP motion is 2,000 mm/s in the horizontal plane.

*4: When the center of gravity of the load matches the Joint #4 center position
When the center of gravity position is separated from the Joint #4 center position, set the parameter using the Inertia statement.

*5: 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.

  • Manipulator operating conditions:
    Rated load, four-joint simultaneous operation, maximum speed, maximum acceleration/deceleration
  • Measurement locations
    Manipulator rear side, 1,000 mm away from work envelope, and 50 mm above base mounting surface

*7: The PerformMode command can be used to switch operation modes. For details, refer to the following manual.
"Epson RC+ SPEL+ Language Reference"

KEY POINTS


Boost mode reduces the amount of time for a single operation compared to Standard mode; however, it worsens the operation duty and the vibration when stopping operation. Use it with caution.

*8: The Accel setting of "100" is the optimum setting that balances acceleration/deceleration and vibration during positioning.

*9: Note the following points when wiring the movable M/C cable.

  • Install the cable not to apply a load to the connector.

  • Bend the cable at the minimum bending radius of the movable part or more. The bending radius (a) and dimensions are shown in the figure below.
