4.1 Attaching an End Effector

Users are responsible for making their own end effector(s). For details of attaching an end
effector, refer to "Hand Function Manual"
■ If you use an end effector equipped with a gripper or chuck, connect wires and/or
pneumatic tubes properly so that the gripper does not release the work piece
when the power to the robot system is turned OFF. Improper connection of the
wires and/or pneumatic tubes may damage the robot system and/or work piece
as the work piece is released when the Emergency Stop switch is pressed.
I/O outputs are configured at the factory so that they are automatically shut off (0)
CAUTION
by power disconnection, the Emergency Stop switch, or the safety features of the
robot system.
However, the I/O set in the hand function does not turn off (0) when the Reset
command is executed or in emergency stop.
Shaft
- Attach an end effector to the lower end of the shaft.
For the shaft dimensions, and the overall dimensions of the Manipulator, refer to 2.
Specifications.
- Do not move the upper limit mechanical stop on the lower side of the shaft.
Otherwise, when "Jump motion" is performed, the upper limit mechanical stop may hit
the Manipulator, and the robot system may not function properly.
- Use a split muff coupling with an M4 bolt or larger to attach the end effector to the
shaft.
