Environment

A suitable environment is necessary for the robot system to function properly and safely. Be sure to install the robot system in an environment that meets the following conditions:

Item Conditions
Ambient Temperature * 5 to 40°C
Ambient relative humidity 10 to 80 % (no condensation)
Fast transient burst noise 1 kV or less (Signal wire)
Electrostatic noise 4 kV or less
Altitude 1000 m or lower
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 solvents and gases
  • Keep away from water
  • Keep away from shock or vibration
  • Keep away from sources of electric noise
  • Keep away from explosive area
  • Keep away from large quantities of radiation.

* The ambient temperature conditions are for the Manipulator only. For the Controller the Manipulators are connected to, refer to the Controller Manual.

KEY POINTS

  • Manipulators are not suitable for operation in harsh environments such as painting areas, etc. When using Manipulators in inadequate environments that do not meet the above conditions, please contact the supplier of your region.
  • When the product is used in a low temperature environment around the minimum temperature of the product specification, or when the product is suspended for a long time on holidays or at night, a collision detection error may occur due to the large resistance of the drive unit immediately after the start of operation. In such cases, warm-up operation for about 10 minutes is recommended.

Special Environmental Conditions

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.

Rapid change in temperature and humidity can cause condensation 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 acid or alkaline is used. In a salty environment where the rust is likely to gather, the Manipulator is susceptible to rust.

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.
