CAUTION
Be sure to enter an accurate value when making this setting, since a
mistake will cause troubles such as vibration or a shorter machine service
life span.
2-8-2 Duty
To achieve maximum service life for the YAMAHA single-axis robots, the robot must be
operated within the allowable duty (50%). The duty is calculated as follows:
Duty (%) =
If the robot duty is too high, an error such as "overload" occurs. In this case, increase the
stop time to reduce the duty.
