Yamaha YK180X Robotics User Manual


 
(2) Caution when turning off the robot controller
On the YK120X and YK180X series robots, the harness exerts a large reaction
force on the X and Y axis arms. When the power to the robot controller is
turned off, the arm positions might move slightly due to the harness reaction
force, depending on where the arms are positioned. If the arms moved a large
distance in this case, the correct position data may not be backed up. To avoid
this, before turning off the power to the robot controller, press the emergency
stop button and check that the robot arms have completely stopped.
(3) Connection to the controller
The controller for the YK120X series robots (YK120X, YK150X) is designed
to provide 24V output and the model name "RCX142-T" is shown on the
serial number label (see Fig. 2-5). Do not connect other controllers to the
YK120X series robot. If operated from a controller other than the RCX142-
T, the robot's motors may be damaged.
