Safety precautions during robot operation

a. The robot must be operated by a person who has received the proper training on safety
and operation from YAMAHA or an authorized YAMAHA sales dealer.
b. During operation of the robot, be sure to stay out of the work area of the robot
manipulator. Install a safeguard enclosure to keep others away from the work area or
provide a gate interlock using an area sensor that triggers emergency stop when someone
enters the work area.
c. This robot controller is not designed to be explosion-proof. Do not use the controller
and robot in locations exposed to inflammable gases, gasoline or solvent that could
cause explosion or fire.
1.2

Safety precautions during maintenance

a. Never disassemble the robot or controller. In cases where you have to replace or repair
parts used in the robot or controller, first consult with us and then follow the instructions
we provide.
b. Before beginning maintenance for the robot or controller, be sure to turn off the power
to the controller. Even after turning off the controller, there are some parts in the
controller which are still hot or at a high voltage. Always wait for at least 30 minutes
after the controller is turned off.
1.3

Motor overload precautions

Since abnormal operation (such as overload) of the motor is detected by software, the
controller parameters must be set correctly to match the motor type used in the robot
connected to the controller.
Prior to shipping, the controller parameters are preset to match the robot model to be
used. However, please check the robot model again when connecting it to the controller.
If any abnormality is found during operation, stop the controller and contact us for
corrective action.
