3. Environments and Installation
3.1 Environmental Conditions
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:
*
5 to 40°C (with minimum temperature variation)
Ambient relative humidity
10 to 80% (no condensation)
First transient burst noise
1 kV or less (Signal wire)
Environment · Install indoors.
· Keep away from direct sunlight.
· Keep away from dust, oily smoke, salinity, metal
powder or other contaminants.
· Keep away from flammable or corrosive solvents
and gases.
· Keep away from water.
· Keep away from shocks or vibrations.
· Keep away from sources of electric noise.
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.
* The ambient temperature conditions are for the Manipulators only. For the Controller
the Manipulators are connected to, refer to the Controller manual.
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
■
Use an earth leakage breaker on the AC power cable of the
Controller to avoid
electric shock and circuit breakdown caused by
short circuit.
repare the earth leakage breaker that pertains the Controller you are using.
For details, refer to the
Controller manual.
■
When cleaning the Manipulator, do not rub it strongly with alcohol or
benzene.
It may lose luster on the coated face.
