CE marking
1. Safety standard
Cautions regarding compliance with EC Directives
n
The YAMAHA robot (robot and controller) is not, in itself, a robot system. The YAMAHA robot is just one component that
is incorporated into the customer's system (built-in equipment), and YAMAHA robots are in compliance with the EC
Directives as they apply to built-in equipment. Therefore, this does not guarantee EC Directive compliance in cases
where the robot is used independently. Customers who incorporate a YAMAHA robot into a system which will be shipped
to, or used in, the EU, should therefore verify that the overall system is compliant with EC Directives.
Differences between YAMAHA single-axis robot (robot and controller) and industrial robot
●
YAMAHA single-axis robot (robot and controller) is not the industrial robot that is defined in European Standard EN ISO10218-1.
Article 3.10 of this standard defines "industrial robot" as "multipurpose manipulator programmable in three or more axes"
and YAMAHA single-axis robot does not apply to this definition.
CE marking
n
YAMAHA robots are components that are incorporated into the customer's system (built-in equipment). We therefore
declare regarding EC Directives that YAMAHA robots are "Partly completed machinery" and so we do not affix a CE mark
to the robots.
Applicable EC Directives and their related standards
n
The following table lists the Directives (and related standards) which apply to the robot's CE Marking compliance.
EC Directive
EN ISO12100 : Safety of machinery － General principles for design － Risk assessment and risk
Machinery
Directive
EN 60204-1
2006/42/EC
EN 55011
EMC Directive
2004/108/EC EN 61000-6-2 : Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) － Part6-2: Generic standards － Immunity for
Cautions regarding the official language of EU countries
n
For equipment that will be installed in EU countries, the language used for the manuals, warning labels, operation screen
characters, and CE declarations is English only.
Warning labels only have pictograms or else include warning messages in English. In the latter case, messages in
Japanese or other languages might be added.
2. Safety measures
Usage Conditions
n
The usage conditions which apply to the YAMAHA robot series are described below.
• EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)
YAMAHA robots are designed for industrial environments. (Applicable standard relating to the EMC Directive: Refer to
the EN61000-6-2 Standard, Item 1 "Scope".)
EMC Directive compliance requires that the customer have the final product (over equipment system) evaluated, with
any necessary measures being implemented.
• Installation conditions
· YAMAHA robots are classified as "built-in equipment", and feature a "Class I" protective structure with regard to
electrical shocks. Be sure to ground the robot and robot controller in order to ensure electrical shock protection.
· The robot controller case is not designed to meet the "enclosure" requirement specified by the EN60204-1 Standard.
Suitable protection should therefore be provided to prevent contact electrical shock hazards, and to protect the
controller from dust and water, etc., in the ambient environment.
· Regarding insulation coordination, YAMAHA robots are designed for the following conditions (refer to the IEC60664-1
Standard):
Over-voltage category II
Pollution degree 2
Suitable measures should be taken if the robot is to be used in environments more severe than those shown above.
• Explosion-proof
The robot and controller do not have explosion-proof specifications, and the robot should therefore not be used in
environments exposed to flammable gases which could explode or ignite, or to gasoline and solvents, etc.
