Weight Setting

CAUTION

---

The total weight of the hand and the workpiece must not exceed 4 kg for LS4-C and 8 kg for LS8-C. The LS-C series are not designed to work with a moment of inertia exceeding 4 kg for LS4-C and 8 kg for LS8-C. Always set the value according to the load. Setting a value that is smaller than the actual load may cause errors, shock and insufficient function of the Manipulator. Also, the life cycle of parts will shorten and belt tooth jumping will occur which will lead to position shift.

The acceptable weight capacity (end effector and workpiece) in LS-C series

• LS4-C: Rating: 2 kg Maximum:4 kg
• LS8-C: Rating: 3 kg Maximum:8 kg

If the load weight exceeds the rated weight, change the setting for the hand weight parameter in the Weight command. After the setting is changed, the maximum acceleration/deceleration speed of the robot system at PTP motion corresponding to the “Weight Parameter” is set automatically.
