Chapter 1: Introduction This manual contains information that is necessary to install and use an iX4 robot. Please read this manual and make sure you understand the functionality, installation, and performance of the robot before attempting to use it. 1.1 Related Manuals Use the following related manuals for reference.
Personnel in charge of managing FA systems and facilities. 1.3 Robot Overview The iX4 is a four-arm parallel robot. Servo motors in the robot base control movement of the robot platform through mechanical links and arms. A tool flange is provided on the bottom of the platform for mounting end-of-arm tooling.
Note that either anodized aluminum or stainless steel platforms can be used on the iX4-650H and iX4-800H robots. The iX4-650HS and iX4-800HS are only available with stainless steel platforms.
The iCS-ECAT unit receives V+ commands from the NJ-series Robot Integrated CPU Unit and processes these commands to execute robots motions and other functions. iX4 650 H/HS and 800 H/HS Robot with EtherCAT 22793-000 Rev. A User’s Manual (Cat. No. I656)

The platform converts the motion of the robot motors into Cartesian motion and, for all but the fixed platform, theta rotation of the tool flange. The iX4 robot supports four models of platforms, depending on the amount of Theta rotation and inertia needed. Each model is available in either Anodized Aluminum or Stainless Steel.

USDA compliance. USDA requires that all exposed screws be sealed with a gasket, which must be compressed to specific stand- ards. To achieve this, the iX4-650HS/800HS robot mounting bolts use a spacer that fits inside a compressible sealing gasket.
ISO Property Class 5.8 98 N·m Use the following procedure to fasten the iX4-650HS/800HS robot to the mounting frame. 1. Verify that the gaskets between the robot pads and the mounting frame are in their grooves in the pads, and completely covered by the mounting frame pads.
Outer arm pairs are shipped assembled. Each pair has two springs and two spring retainers at each end. CAUTION: PINCH RISK Ball joints are spring-loaded. Be careful not to pinch your fingers. 22793-000 Rev. A iX4 650 H/HS and 800 H/HS Robot with EtherCAT User’s Manual (Cat. No. I656)

6.3 Cleaning iX4-650H/800H Robots 6.3 Cleaning iX4-650H/800H Robots The iX4-650H/800H robots are designed to be compatible with moderate cleaning agents com- monly used in the cleaning of food-processing equipment. All robot components are designed to handle daily exposure to cleaning agents. Exposure may result in some discoloration of the materials, but no significant material removal.
Surfaces of the robot have been designed to shed water. This increases the likelihood that con- taminants or cleaning agents will drain with a wash-down procedure. Design Factors Environmental and cleaning aspects are addressed by the following features in the iX4- 650H/800H robots. Robot Base and Components The aluminum robot base and the removable motor covers are coated with a polyurethane powder coating, which will not flake off with repeated high-pressure washings.
Platforms The iX4-650H/800H robots support four types of platforms, depending on the amount of Theta rotation and inertia needed, and the level of chemical resistance needed. For the iX4- 650H/800H robots, these platforms are available in a hard-anodized aluminum or stainless steel.
CAUTION: PROPERTY DAMAGE RISK Not all materials used on the iX4- 650HS/800HS robots are compatible with all cleaning solutions available. The iX4-650HS/800HS robot was tested to withstand the following cleaning solutions, at the manufacturers recommended concentrations, at 140° F: Caustic:...
Daily Clean Out of Place (dunk) Water Shedding Surfaces of the iX4-650HS/800HS have been designed to shed water. This increases the like- lihood that contaminants or cleaning agents will drain with a hose-down procedure. Design Factors Environmental and cleaning aspects are addressed by the following features in the iX4- 650HS/800HS robots.
This open spring-assembly design allows inspection for contamination, as well as wash-down. Platforms The iX4-650HS/800HS supports four types of platforms, depending on the amount of Theta rotation and inertia needed. All four platform types are available in stainless steel for either the iX4-650HS or iX4-800HS robot.
This label instructs the user to read the user’s manual before using the robot and to be aware of the potential of impact by the robot. This label is not present on the iX4-650HS/800HS robots. Figure 6-1. Read User’s Guide, Impact Warning Label iX4 650 H/HS and 800 H/HS Robot with EtherCAT 22793-000 Rev.
The robot uses gear drives that rely on oil for lubrication. Periodically inspect the robot for signs of oil on and around the gear drives. If signs of oil leaks are found, contact your local OMRON representative for more information. WARNING: ELECTROCUTION RISK Lock out and tag out AC power to the robot before opening the iCS-ECAT chassis.
1. Ensure the motors are cool before performing this check. 2. Remove all power to the robot before starting this check. 3. Remove the iCS-ECAT. Refer to Replacing the iCS-ECAT Unit for an iX4-650H/800H Robot on page 135 and Replacing the iCS-ECAT Unit for an iX4-650HS/800HS Robot on page 138 for more information.

Status Display panel with stand-offs. The battery pack is exposed when the Status Display panel is removed. For the iX4- 650HS/800HS robots, retain the Status Display panel cover and gasket for reinstallation.
The diagnostic cable must be fastened to the bracket and battery pack with a cable tie to relieve strain on the Status Display connector. 11. For the iX4-650H/800H robots, re-install the Status Display panel with the four M4 bolts previously removed.
IMPORTANT: Cutting and destroying the old spring retainers is required for this procedure. Do not attempt this procedure unless replacement parts are avail- able. 22793-000 Rev. A iX4 650 H/HS and 800 H/HS Robot with EtherCAT User’s Manual (Cat. No. I656)

5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for all ball joint socket inserts that need to be replaced to com- plete this procedure. For the iX4-650HS/800HS robots, use the following procedure to replace a ball joint socket insert. The inserts used in the ball joints for the iX4-650HS/800HS robots must seal very tightly.
CAUTION: PROPERTY DAMAGE RISK Follow appropriate ESD procedures during the removal and replacement phases. NOTE: This procedure is different for the iX4-650HS/800HS robot. Refer to Repla- cing the iCS-ECAT Unit for an iX4-650HS/800HS Robot on page 138. Removing the iCS-ECAT Chassis 1. Remove all power from the robot.
