Cleaning Ix4-650Hs/800Hs Robots - Omron iX4 User Manual

6.4 Cleaning iX4-650HS/800HS Robots
The inner arms are sealed at the robot base with a rotary V-ring seal (P/N 09078-101). The
inner arms are designed to meet IP65 rating.
Ball Joints
The ball studs are stainless steel, which resist wear, as well as caustic agents. The hemi-
spherical plastic inserts are resistant to caustic agents. Lubrication of the ball joints is not
needed.
Outer Arms
The outer arms are a composite assembly of anodized aluminum or stainless steel and carbon
fiber. The interior volume of the carbon fiber tube is designed to be sealed with an internal and
external continuous epoxy bond. The inserts are press-fit into the aluminum outer-arm ends
with a slight interference, which seals the plastic to the aluminum.
The outer arms may be cleaned either with wash-down in place on the robot, or removal and
tank cleaning.
Spring Assemblies
The outer arms are attached through the positive pressure of springs that are made of electro-
polished stainless steel. The springs attach to the arms via plastic retainers that fit over bear-
ing pins on the arms. This open spring-assembly design allows inspection for contamination,
as well as wash-down or dunk bath.
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.
All platforms are designed to meet the basic criteria of wash-down compatibility and long life.
Please contact your local OMRON representative for more information.

6.4 Cleaning iX4-650HS/800HS Robots

The iX4-650HS/800HS robots are designed to be compatible with standard cleaning and oper-
ational needs for the handling of raw, unpackaged meat and poultry products, as well as less
stringent requirements. These design criteria impact how the environment can affect the robot
operations, as well as how the robot can affect the cleanliness of its operating environment.
These robots are designed for the following operating conditions:
IP67 rating for the robot platform and arms.
l
IP66 rating for the rest of the robot.
l
Removal and submersion of the platform and outer arms (designed for COP tank).
l
1 to 40°C (34 to 104°F) ambient temperature.
l
Humidity of 5% to 90%, non-condensing.
