Acceleration coefficient vs. moment of inertia 6.2.1 R-axis tolerable moment of inertia and acceleration coefficient The moment of inertia of a load (end effector and workpiece) that can be attached to the R-axis is limited by the strength of the robot drive unit and residual vibration during positioning. It is therefore necessary to reduce the acceleration coefficient in accordance with the moment of inertia.
Equation for moment of inertia calculation Usually the R axis load is not a simple form, and the calculation of the moment of inertia is not easy. As a method, the load is replaced with several factors that resemble a simple form for which the moment of inertia can be calculated.

Over view Various settings have been completely made at the factory or by your distributor before shipment, including the origin position setting. If the operating conditions are changed and the robot needs to be set again, then follow the procedures described in this chapter. The following describes the safety precautions to be observed when making various settings.
However, return-to-origin is required if any of the following cases occur. The robot is shipped from the factory in condition "3." (below), so please perform return-to-origin after installing the robot. For more details on return-to-origin, refer to "Return-to-origin" in the "OMRON Robot Controller User's Manual".
2.1.1 Stroke end method R6YXE400 In the stroke end method, return-to-origin is performed at a position slightly backed off from the stroke end, after the axis whose return-to-origin is performed contacts the mechanical stopper and stroke end is detected. WARNING Serious injury might occur from physical contact with the robot during operation.
2.1.2 Mark method R6YXE400 In the mark method, the robot is moved to a position beforehand where the return-to-origin is performed and this position is determined to the return-to-origin position. There are two kinds of methods to move the robot to a position where the return-to-origin is performed as described below.
Machine reference The position detector of the XE series uses a resolver that has five positions where the return-to-origin can be performed per motor revolution. The machine reference means the position relationship of the position where the robot detects the origin signal to the position where the reset can be performed soon after detection (see the Fig.

Step7 Turn on the controller. Turn on the controller after confirming that there is nobody in the safety protection fence. Step8 Return to origin. Move the arm in the-direction relative to the new origin before returning it to the origin. Return to the origin from outside the safety enclosure.
Press the emergency stop button. Press the emergency stop button on the PBEX to put the robot in the emergency stop status. NOTE For details about emergency stop and how to cancel the emergency stop, see the "OMRON Robot Controller User's Manual". Step3 Place a sign indicating the robot is being adjusted.
Setting the Z-axis soft limits CAUTION Set the Z-axis soft limits from outside the safety enclosure. The Z-axis has mechanical stoppers fixed at the upper and lower ends of the Z-axis movement range. When the actual working range of the robot is smaller than the maximum working envelope or the manipulator interferes with the peripheral equipment, reduce the Z-axis plus (+) soft limit [pulses] to narrow the working envelope.
Never enter the robot movement range. Step5 Set the standard coordinates. See "Setting the standard coordinates" stated in the "OMRON Robot Controller User's Manual". NOTE The next section, "4.1 Standard coordinate setting using a standard coordinate setup jig (option)", describes how to set the standard coordinates more accurately using an optional setup jig.

List of inspection items WARNING Engineers who have the qualification in conformity with "2. Qualification of operators/workers" in section 4.1 of the Safety Guide must perform the inspection items requiring the cover removal while referring to the separate XE Series Maintenance Manual. : Conduct.
Over view The XE series robots uses a harmonic drive as the speed reduction gear for the X and Y axes. Harmonic drives need to be replaced after specified operation hours have elapsed. Use the guideline explained below to determine the replacement period and replace the harmonic drive periodically. Since the XE series robots listed below use long-life harmonic grease, it is not necessary to replace the harmonic grease.
Replacement period The harmonic drive replacement period is determined by the total number of turns of the wave generator used in the harmonic drive. It is recommended to replace the harmonic drive when the total number of turns has reached 8.4×10 (at ambient operating temperatures of 0°C to +40°C).

Arch motion: Making the arch position value smaller In "2. Arch motion", as the arch pulse value is made further smaller, the tracking arc becomes large to further shorten the cycle time. Since the tracking draws an arc, use caution to avoid obstacles if they are located on the arm movement path. Arch motion: changing the arch positions in the program [Example] Arch position can be set for each axis.
