Responsibility for Safeguarding [ISO 10218]The user of a manipulator or robot system shall ensure that safeguards are provided and used in accordance with Sections 6, 7, and 8 of this standard. The means and degree of safeguard-ing, including any redundancies, shall correspond directly to the type and level of hazard pre-sented by the robot system consistent with the robot application. Safeguarding may include but not be limited to safeguarding devices, barriers, interlock barriers, perimeter guarding, awareness barriers, and awareness signals.

3.2 Mounting Procedures for Manipulator Base

The manipulator should be firmly mounted on a manipulator base mount strong enough to support the robot and withstand repulsion forces during acceleration and deceleration. Con-struct a solid foundation with the appropriate thickness to withstand maximum repulsion forces of the manipulator, referring to "Table 1 Maximum repulsion forces of the manipulator base mount".A base mount flatness must be kept at 0.5 mm or less: insufficient flatness of installation sur-face may deform the manipulator shape and affect its functional abilities.

Connectors for manipulator cables are located on different positions depending on manipu-lator types.Confirm the correct position of the manipulator cable before Installing the manipulator.

(2) "YR-EP4000N-**1"Equipped with overrun limit switches for the JT1- and JT2-axes, and an interference limit switch for the JT2- and JT3-axes. Refer to "Fig. 14 Locations of Limit Switches" for the locations.

Fig. 14 Locations of Limit Switches

(3) The JT2-axis overrun limit switch and the JT2-JT3-axis interference limit switch electrically restrict the ranges of each subject axis motion by adjusting the dog posi-tion. The mechanical stopper is effective at the P-point maximum envelope, and its position cannot be changed.

(4) The power supply to the manipulator will be cut off once the limit switch is activated, resulting in an emergency stop of the manipulator.Refer to “9.6 Overrun / Tool Shock Sensor Releasing” in “NX100 INSTRUCTIONS” to release the manipulator from the overrun status.

(5) The limit switches are set at the P-point maximum envelope before the shipment.

(6) Adjustable range of the JT2-axis overrun limit switchAs shown in "Fig. 15 JT2-axis Overrun Limit Switch Adjustable Range", JT2-axis is adjustable within the range between 26° to the plus (+) direction and 123° to the minus (-) direction. However, the least adjustable range of motion is 16°. The JT2-axis can be set at any degrees within the above mentioned range as long as it is set at 16° or more.

In case of re-adjusting the operating range of each subject axis, it is also required to change the dog location and limit values in software. Contact your Yaskawa representative if re-adjustment is required.

9 Maintenance and Inspection

9.1 Inspection Schedule

Proper inspections are essential not only to assure that the mechanism will be able to function for a long period, but also to prevent malfunctions and assure safe operation. Inspection intervals are classified into six levels as shown in "Table 7 Inspection Items". Con-duct periodical inspections according to the inspection schedule in this table.In the table, the inspection items are categorized by three types of operations: operations which can be performed by personnel authorized by the user, operations which can be per-formed by personnel being trained, and operations which can be performed by service com-pany personnel. Only specified personnel are to do inspection work.

• Before maintenance or inspection, be sure to turn OFF the main power supply, and put up a warning sign. (ex. DO NOT TURN ON THE POWER.)

Failure to observe this warning may result in electric shock or injury.

• Maintenance and inspection must be performed by specified personnel.

Failure to observe this caution may result in electric shock or injury.

• For disassembly or repair, contact your Yaskawa representative.

• Do not remove the motor, and do not release the brake.

Failure to observe this caution may result in injury from unexpected turning of the manipu-lator’s arm.

• The battery pack must be connected before removing encoder connec-tor when maintenance and inspection.

Failure to observe this caution may result in the loss of home position data.

WARNING

CAUTION

9-1

HW0482597

9.1 Inspection ScheduleHW0482597

• The inspection interval depends on the total servo operation time.• For axes which are used very frequently (in handling applications, etc.), it is recom-

mended that inspections be conducted at shorter intervals. Contact your Yaskawa repre-sentative.

• The speed reducers for the JT1-, JT2-, and JT3-axes are recommended to be replaced in the secondary inspection (which is to be done in 18000-hour cycle) as a preventive main-tenance. The replacement should be made in less than 18000-hour cycle, depending upon the operation pattern.
