1.9 Motion Range Setting by Mechanical Stops
Mechanical stops physically limit the absolute area that the Manipulator cannot
move.
T series Manipulator
Both Joints #1 and #2 have threaded holes in the positions corresponding to the
angle for the mechanical stop settings. Install the bolts in the holes corresponding
to the angle that you want to set.
Joints #3 can be set to any length less than the maximum stroke.

VT series Manipulator
Using the adjustable mechanical stops (option) physically limits the absolute area
that the Manipulator can move.
Be sure to turn OFF the Manipulator in advance.
Use bolts conforming to the specified length and surface processing (ex:
nickel
plating
) with high corrosion resistance.
Specify the pulse range again after changing the position of the mechanical stop.
For details on the pulse range setting, refer to the following section.
Setup & Operation 5.1 Motion Range Setting by Pulse Range (for All
Arms).
Be sure to set the pulse range not to exceed the setting angles of the mechanical stop.
