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 |
|
* 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 case, it is recommended to warm up for about 10 minutes.
Special Environmental Conditions
The surface of the Manipulator has general oil resistance. However, if your requirements specify that the Manipulator must withstand certain kinds of oil, please contact the supplier of your region.
Rapid change in temperature and humidity can cause condensation inside the Manipulator.
If your requirements specify that the Manipulator handles food, please contact the supplier of your region to check whether the Manipulator will damage the food or not.
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.
