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 deg C (with minimum temperature variation)
Ambient relative humidity 10 to 80% (no condensation)
First transient burst noise
Electrostatic noise 4 kV or less
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 us.
* 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 consult your
distributor.
Rapid change in temperature and humidity can cause condensation inside the Manipulator.
If your requirements specify that the Manipulator handles food, please consult your
distributor to check whether the Manipulator gives damage to 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.
Prepare the earth leakage bra
ke that pertains the Controller you are using.
For details, refer to the
Controller manual.
CAUTION
■
When cleaning the Manipulator, do not rub it strongly with alcohol or
benzene.
It may lose luster on the
coated face.
