1. Introduction
This section provides safety precautions to be observed during
installation, teaching, inspection, adjustment, and maintenance
of the robot.
2. Installation Precautions
2.1 Insuring the proper
installation environment
2.1.1 For standard type The standard type has not been designed to withstand
explosions, dust-proof, nor is it splash-proof. Therefore, it
should not be installed in any environment where:
(1) there are flammable gases or liquids,
(2) there are any shavings from metal processing or other
conductive material flying about,
(3) there are any acidic, alkaline or other corrosive gases,
(4) there is cutting or grinding oil mist,
(5) it may likely be submerged in fluid,
(6) there is sulfuric cutting or grinding oil mist, or
(7) there are any large-sized inverters, high output/high
frequency transmitters, large contactors, welders, or other
sources of electrical noise.
2.1.2 For dust-proof, splash-
proof type
The dust-proof, splash-proof type is an IP54-equivalent
structure, but it has not been designed to withstand explosions.
(The HS-E-W and the wrist of the VM-D-W/VS-E-W are an
IP65-equivalent dust-proof and splash-proof structure.)
Note that the robot controller is not a dust- or splash-proof
structure. Therefore, when using the robot controller in an
environment exposed to mist, put it in an optional protective
box.
The dust-proof, splash-proof type should not be installed in any
environment where:
(1) there are any flammable gases or liquids,
(2) there are any acidic, alkaline or other corrosive gases,
(3) there are any large-sized inverters, high output/high
frequency transmitters, large contactors, welders, or other
sources of electrical noise,
(4) it may likely be submerged in fluid,
(5) there are any grinding or machining chips or shavings,
(6) any machining oil not specified in this manual is in use, or
Note: Yushiron Oil No. 4C (non-soluble) is specified.
(7) there is sulfuric cutting or grinding oil mist.
2.2 Service space
The robot and peripheral equipment should be installed so that
sufficient service space is maintained for safe teaching,
maintenance, and inspection.
