2.2.2 Rated load (mass capacity)
The robot's mass capacity is expressed solely in terms of mass, but even for tools and works of similar mass,
eccentric loads will have some restrictions. When designing the tooling or when selecting a robot, consider the fol
-
lowing issues.
(1) The tooling should have the value less or equal than the smaller of the tolerable inertia and the tolerable
moment found in Page 7, "Table 2-1 ： Standard specifications of robot"
(2) Fig. 2-1 shows the distribution dimensions for the center of gravity in the case where the volume of the
load is relatively small. Use this figure as a reference when designing the tooling.
(3) When the load is not mass, but force, you should design the tooling so that it does not exceed the value for
allowable moment described in Page 7, "Table 2-1 ： Standard specifications of robot"
[Caution] The mass capacity is greatly influenced by the operating speed of the robot and the motion posture.
Even if you are within the allowable range mentioned previously, an overload or generate an overcurrnt
alarm could occur. In such cases, it will be necessary to change the time setting for acceleration/deceler
-
ation, the operating speed, and the motion posture.
[Caution] The overhang amount of the load for the specified moment and inertia in this section is the dynamic limit
value determined by the motor driving each axis and by the capacity of the reduction gears. Conse
-
quently, accuracy cannot be guaranteed for the entire tooling area. Since accuracy is based on the center
point of the mechanical interface surface, position accuracy can diminish as you go away from the
mechanical interface surface, or vibration can result, with tooling that is not rigid or that is long.
[Caution] Even within the allowable range previously mentioned, an overload alarm may be generated if an ascend
-
ing operation continues at a micro-low speed. In such a case, it is necessary to increase the ascending
speed.
