CAUTION

CAUTION

CAUTION

When automatic operation of the robot is performed using multiple control devices (GOT, programmable controller, push-button switch), the interlocking of operation rights of the devices, etc. must be designed by the customer.

Use the robot within the environment given in the specifications. Failure to do so could lead to a drop or reliability or faults. (Temperature, humidity, atmosphere, noise environment, etc.)

Transport the robot with the designated transportation posture. Transporting the robot in a non-designated posture could lead to personal injuries or faults from dropping.

Always use the robot installed on a secure table. Use in an instable posture could lead to positional deviation and vibration.

Wire the cable as far away from noise sources as possible. If placed near a noise source, positional deviation or malfunction could occur.

Do not apply excessive force on the connector or excessively bend the cable.

Failure to observe this could lead to contact defects or wire breakage.

Make sure that the workpiece weight, including the hand, does not exceed the rated load or tolerable torque. Exceeding these values could lead to alarms or faults.

Securely install the hand and tool, and securely grasp the workpiece. Failure to observe this could lead to personal injuries or damage if the object comes off or flies off during operation.

Securely ground the robot and controller. Failure to observe this could lead to malfunctioning by noise or to electric shock accidents.

Indicate the operation state during robot operation. Failure to indicate the state could lead to operators approaching the robot or to incorrect operation.

When carrying out teaching work in the robot's movement range, always secure the priority right for the robot control. Failure to observe this could lead to personal injuries or damage if the robot is started with external commands.

Keep the jog speed as low as possible, and always watch the robot. Failure to do so could lead to interference with the workpiece or peripheral devices.

After editing the program, always confirm the operation with step operation before starting automatic operation. Failure to do so could lead to interference with peripheral devices because of programming mistakes, etc.

Make sure that if the safety fence entrance door is opened during automatic operation, the door is locked or that the robot will automatically stop. Failure to do so could lead to personal injuries.

Never carry out modifications based on personal judgments, or use nondesignated maintenance parts.

Failure to observe this could lead to faults or failures.

WARNING

When the robot arm has to be moved by hand from an external area, do not place hands or fingers in the openings. Failure to observe this could lead to hands or fingers catching depending on the posture.

CAUTION

Do not stop the robot or apply emergency stop by turning the robot controller's main power OFF. If the robot controller main power is turned OFF during automatic operation, the robot accuracy could be adversely affected. Moreover, it may interfere with the peripheral device by drop or move by inertia of the arm.

CAUTION

Do not turn off the main power to the robot controller while rewriting the internal information of the robot controller such as the program or parameters.

If the main power to the robot controller is turned off while in automatic operation or rewriting the program or parameters, the internal information of the robot controller may be damaged.

DANGER

Do not connect the Handy GOT when using the GOT direct connection function of this product. Failure to observe this may result in property damage or bodily injury because the Handy GOT can automatically operate the robot regardless of whether the operation rights are enabled or not.

DANGER

Do not remove the SSCNET III cable while power is supplied to the controller.

Do not look directly at light emitted from the tip of SSCNET III connectors or

SSCNET III cables. Eye discomfort may be felt if exposed to the light.

(Reference: SSCNET III employs a Class 1 or equivalent light source as specified in JIS C 6802 and IEC60825-1 (domestic standards in Japan).)

DANGER

Attach the cap to the SSCNET III connector after disconnecting the SSCNET

III cable. If the cap is not attached, dirt or dust may adhere to the connector pins, resulting in deterioration connector properties, and leading to malfunction.

CAUTION

Make sure there are no mistakes in the wiring. Connecting differently to the way specified in the manual can result in errors, such as the emergency stop not being released. In order to prevent errors occurring, please be sure to check that all functions (such as the teaching box emergency stop, customer emergency stop, and door switch) are working properly after the wiring setup is completed.

CAUTION

Use the network equipments (personal computer, USB hub, LAN hub, etc) confirmed by manufacturer. The thing unsuitable for the FA environment

(related with conformity, temperature or noise) exists in the equipments connected to USB. When using network equipment, measures against the noise, such as measures against EMI and the addition of the ferrite core, may be necessary. Please fully confirm the operation by customer. Guarantee and maintenance of the equipment on the market (usual office automation equipment) cannot be performed.

2.4 Confirming the operation

In this section, the robot will be moved manually using the T/B to confirm that the operation is correct.

Moving the robot manually is called "jog operation". This operation includes the JOINT jog that moves each axis, the XYZ jog that moves along the base coordinate system, the TOOL jog that moves along the tool coordinate system, and the CYLNDER jog that moves along the circular arc.

This operation is carried out while pressing the deadman switch on the back of the T/B.

Note) The figure of the robot which indicated to the explanation page in each jog mode is an example.

CAUTION

The robot will move during this operation. Make sure that there are no operators near the robot, and that there are no obstacles, such as tools, in the robot operation range.

CAUTION

To immediately stop the robot, release the deadman switch on the back of the T/B.

The servo power will turn OFF, and the robot will stop.

The robot will also stop if the [EMG.STOP] switch (emergency stop switch) on the front of the T/B or the [EMG.STOP] switch (emergency stop) on the front of the controller is pressed.

CAUTION

To check whether the origin of the robot deviates, move the robot arm to the posi

tion where the ABS marks align each other, and check the displayed joint coordi

nates of the position.

For the details of the ABS mark position and the joint coordinates, refer to Page

104, "5.6 Resetting the origin" , and Page 119, "5.6.2 ABS origin method" .

WARNING

Confirm that the origin has been set. If the origin has not been set, "****" will appear at the current position display on the teaching pendant, the JOINT jog oper

ation will take place in any jog mode selected.

Refer to

Page 23, "2.3 Setting the origin" for details on setting the origin.

Note) When connecting the RETURN air hose, be sure to remove the dust cap attached at the RETURN joint on the robot base section. If the cap is not removed, exhaust air pressure will increase and the solenoid valve may not operate properly.By connecting the exhaust air hose (φ6: customer preparation) to this RETURN air joint, exhaust air from the solenoid valve is able to escape to the designated point.

5) Connect the secondary piping air hose (φ4).

The optional hand curl tube, the hand internal wiring and piping set, or the air hose prepared by customer can all be used, however when pulling the tip of the air hose out from the shaft please be sure to use the optional hand internal wiring and piping set.

Connect the air hoses to solenoid valve port A and port B. Please refer to

Table 3-1 and connect to the

necessary ports. Covers the unused solenoid valve joints with the plugs included.

Note) When pulling the tip of the air hose out from the shaft, please be sure to use the optional hand internal wiring and piping set. Silicon grease to apply to friction points is included with the product

(please refer to Page 57, "3.5 Hand internal wiring and piping set"

). Further, when using the optional external wiring and piping box, the air hose can be pulled out from the rear of the No. 2

arm (please refer to Page 60, "3.6 External Wiring and Piping Box"

).

6) If the hand output cable and the air hose have excess length, please tie the excess section by cable tie and fix it to the plate. The plate have some holes for fixing the cable/hose with a cable tie.

7) Install securely the No.2 arm cover U as before with fixing screws (tightening torque: 1.39 to 1.89 Nm).

Note) The installation surface of the covers is using sealing material. In the event that the sealing mate

rial has been removed or has been bent or broken to the extent that it cannot be return to the original form, be sure to replace the sealing material. Please inform the dealer, if exchange is nec

essary.

5Maintenance and Inspection

5.3.3 Packing Replacement Procedure

When signs of cracking or peeling are noted in the packing, they must be replaced.Replace the packing in accordance with the instructions given below. If the packing is not replaced in a timely manner, water or oil will be allowed to intrude the robot, possibly making it inoperative.

(1) Packing Replacement Instructions

Stick again new packing as before.

1) Remove the old packing, and clean and degrease the surface on which it has been placed.

2) The sticking surface of packing is double-coated adhesive tape. Referring to "Fig.5-4 : Example of sticking packing (good example)" and

"Fig.5-6 : Sticking the cord-like packing" , and stick the packing in line with

form . Be careful for the packing not to slide. The example of unsuitable packing slid is shown in

"Fig.5-

5 : Example of sticking packing (bad example)"

.

3) Although the No.2 arm cover (U) sticks two or more packings per place, it has length with which packing

ends overlap. Stick packing in the following procedures. For more information, see "Fig.5-7 : Examples of packing overlaps".

Examples of improperly treated cut edge are shown, as well.

a) Stick packing in line with form of the sticking surface. Finally, cut packing so that adjoining pieces have a 1mm overlap at the end.

b) Apply liquid gasket to the cut edges. (Designated liquid gasket: 1212 (Maker: Three Bond)) c) Stick so that the gap may not be made to each other's packing.

CAUTION

Do not install the cover immediately after sticking packing. Install the cover, after the 6 hours pass after sticking packing for gasket hardening.

4) Confirm that packing is stuck correctly and install the cover. When tightening the bolts fixing the cover, avoid tightening them to a specified torque at a time. Tighten the bolt in the order shown as much as

possible in the "Fig. 5-8 Example of order which tighten bolts" The torque which tightens the fixing bolt of

each cover is shown in "Table 5-3 : Cover fixing screw list"

.

CAUTION

Stick the packing securely, pressing down with the finger. If sticking is insuffi

cient, when the cover is installed, packing slides by the pressure, and there is a possibility that it may become impossible to secure protection performance.

Completion of packing replacement

Packing is stuck securely without sliding.

5.3.4 Inspection, maintenance and replacement of timing belt

This robot uses a timing belt for the drive conveyance system of the J5 axis. Compared to gears and chains, the timing belt does not require lubrication and has a low noise. However, if the belt usage method and tension adjust

ment are inadequate, the life could drop and noise could be generated. Sufficient aging to remove the initial elon

gation of the belt, and adjustment of the belt tension have been carried out before shipment from the factory.

However, depending on the robot working conditions, elongation will occur gradually over a long time. The tension must be confirmed during the periodic inspection.

The replacement is necessary if the timing belt is in the condition which showed in "(1)Timing belt replacement period"

. The inspection and adjustment and replacement method of the timing belt of each axis is shown below.

Please check, and adjust and replace if necessary.

In addition, it is serviceable if there is the sound wave type belt tension gauge in inspection and adjustment of the

timing belt. The recommendation gauge is shown below. Please prepare by customer. Refer to the Page 83, "(5)

Timing belt tension"

for the tension adjustment value of the timing belt.

(1) Timing belt replacement period

The timing belt life is greatly affected by the robot working conditions, so a set time cannot be given. However, if the following symptoms occur, replace the belt.

1) When cracks from at the base or back of the belt teeth.

2) When the belt expands due to adherence of oil, etc.

3) When the belt teeth wear (to approx. half of the tooth width).

4) When the belt teeth jump due to belt teeth wear.

5) When the belt snaps.

CAUTION

Due to the manufacturing of the timing belt, initial wear will occur. Wear chips may accumulate in the cover after approx. 300 Hr of operating the robot, but this is not a fault. If the wear chips appear soon after wiping them off, replace the belt.

CAUTION

When the belt is replaced, the machine system origin may deviate. In this case, the position data must be reviewed.

Fig.5-12 : Belt tension

The timing belt can satisfactorily convey the drive and keep a durable force only when it has an adequate tension.

The belt tension should not be too tight or too loose. Instead, it should be adjusted to a degree that elasticity is felt when the belt is pressed with the thumb. If the belt tension is too weak, the belt loosening side will vibrate. On the other hand, if the belt tension is too strong, a sharp sound will be heard and the belt tension side will vibrate.

Maintenance and inspection procedures

5 Maintenance and Inspection

・ The numbers in the

Table 5-4 correspond to the supply positions in Fig. 5-14

.

・When the specified time limit (24,000 Hr) is due, the overhaul work to replace internal grease is required. For the

J1/J2 axis reduction gears, if the overhaul cannot be conducted at the specified timing, lubricate them at the

lubrication interval in Table 5-4

. Please ask dealer for more details about overhaul.

(2) Lubrication method to the J1, J2 axis

1) Turn off the controller's power supply.

2) Refer to the "Fig.5-3 : Installing/removing the cover"

and remove the covers.

3) Insert the grease shown in Table 5-4 using a grease gun from the lubrication grease nipple. Add only the

specified amount of grease. Adding excess grease may cause grease to leak.

CAUTION

Use manual grease gun, and inject grease with pressure 0.03Mpa or less. Do not use the grease gun, which derived by the factory air presser to avoid injecting by too high pressure.

A grease gun that fits the grease nipple is required.

Recommended grease gun: CH-400 (manufacture: Yamada Corporation Inc.,)

The CH-400 gun is a cartridge-type grease gun. Contact your dealer and use com

mercially available grease cartridges.

When a grease can is used, hand grease gun KH-32 (manufacture: Yamada Corpora

tion) is recommended. The KH-32 comes with a short nozzle (HSP-1) as standard. If this short nozzle does not reach the desired areas, depending on the robot model and installation location, it may be useful to use a long nozzle (HSP-2). CH-400 has a long nozzle as standard equipment.

4) Install the removed cover as before.

Note) Sealant is applied to the installation surface of the cover. Be sure to replace the sealant if it has been dislocated and bent or crushed and does not return to its original shape.

5) If the maintenance forecast function is enable, please reset the accumulated data about grease. Carries out the resetting operation by RT ToolBox or parameter (MFGRST). Refer to separate "RT ToolBox2 / RT

ToolBox2 mini User's Manual" for the operation method of RT ToolBox, and refer to separate "Instruction

Manual/Detailed Explanation of Functions and Operations" for details of parameter (MFGRST).

This complete of lubricating to J1, J2 axis.

(3) Lubrication method to the shaft

1) Refer to Page 70 "Fig. 5-3: Installing/removing the cover" , remove the No. 2 arm cover-U.

2) Wipe the old grease off the shaft. Wipe off the grease inside the No. 2 arm cover-U and the bracket attached vertically to the shaft fixing area.

3) Apply the specified amount of grease to the shaft. If too much grease is applied, grease can spread inside the No. 2 arm, and if it reaches to the timing belt, can cause the timing belt to deteriorate quicker than usual.

4) Install the No.2 arm cover U as before.

This completes of applying grease to shaft.

5.3.7 Replacing the backup battery

An absolute encoder is used for the position detector, so while power of controller is turned off the position must be saved by the backup battery. The controller also uses a backup battery to save the program, etc. The battery is the lithium battery. These batteries are installed when the robot is shipped from the factory, but as these are consumable parts, they must be replaced periodically by the customer.

The guideline for replacing the battery is one year, but this will differ according to the robot's usage state. There exists the kinds of the errors about the battery shown in

Table 5-5 . If error 7500 occurs, please exchange the

battery of the robot arm and the controller simultaneously.

5.4 About Overhaul

Robots which have been in operation for an extended period of time can suffer from wear and other forms of deterioration. In regard to such robots, we define overhaul as an operation to replace parts running out of speci

fied service life or other parts which have been damaged, so that the robots may be put back in shape for contin

ued use. Overhaul interval for robots presumably varies with their operating conditions and thus with the degree of the equipment's wear and loss of performance. As a rule of thumb, however, it is recommended that overhaul be carried out before the total amount of servo-on time reaches the predetermined levels (24,000 hours for the robot

body and 36,000 hours for the controller). (See Fig. 5-16

.) For specific information about parts to be replaced and timing of overhaul, contact your local service representative.

The origin data set as the default is input from the T/B.

Use this method at the initial startup.

The origin posture is set with the calibration jig installed.

This origin posture is set by contacting each axis against the mechanical stopper.

This method is used when the encoder backup data lost in the cause such as battery cutting.

A randomly designated position is set as the origin posture.

• At the initial startup

• When the controller is replaced

• When the data is lost due to flat battery of the robot controller

(when C7500 occurs)

The accuracy is lower than that of the jig method.

The setting method is explained in

Page 92, "5.6.1 Mechanical stopper method"

.

Before using this method, the origin must be set with the other method with same encoder. The

setting method is explained in Page

104, "5.6.3 ABS origin method"

.

Before using this method, the origin must be set with the other method. The setting method is explained in

Page 107, "5.6.4 User origin method" .

[Caution]

・ The origin is set using the jig method (No.2) at factory default.

・ The value set with the jig method is encoded and used as the origin data to be input at the initial startup after shipment. When the robot arm does not mechanically deviate (for example caused by replacement of the reduction gear, motor, or timing belt) or does not lose the encoder data, the origin data input method at shipment can be used to set the origin.

・ The origin data is inherent to the serial number of each robot arm.

・ The ABS origin method is used to restore the previous data by aligning the triangular marks to each other for each axis to set the lost origin data.

(Although the setting position is confirmed visually, deviations within a half rotation of the motor can be compensated.)

[Remarks]

・ The ABS origin method cannot be used when the robot arm mechanically deviates (for example caused by replacement of the reduction gear, motor, or timing belt).

・After the origin setting is completed, move the robot arm to the position where the ABS marks align each other, and check that the displayed joint coordinates of the position are correct.

For the details of the ABS mark position and the joint coordinates, refer to Page 104, "5.6.3 ABS origin method" .

5.6.3 ABS origin method

When the origin setting of the robot is performed for the first time, this product records the angular position of the origin within one rotation of the encoder as the offset value. If the origin setting is performed according to the

ABS origin method, this value is used to suppress variations in the origin setting operations and to reproduce the initial origin position accurately.

This operation is carried out with the teaching pendant. Set the mode of the controller to "MANUAL", and set the

[ENABLE] switch on the teaching pendant to "ENABLE" to enable the teaching pendant.

First, set to the ABS mark arrow of the axis for which the origin is to be set with jog operation. This can be set for all axes simultaneously or each axis independently.

To align the ABS marks, view the robot from the front. The deviation between the end points of the two triangular marks must be 1 mm or less.

The positions where the ABS mark is attached are shown in below. Refer to

Page 30, "2.4 Confirming the operation"

for details on the jog operation.

Note) There is no alignment mark of the

J3 axis. The posture to be set is the same with the mechanical stopper

method. Refer to Page 96, "(3) J3 and J4 axis origin setting (mechanical stopper)" .
