Chapter 1 – Description 1.1. GENERAL PRESENTATION The arm consists of segments or members interconnected by joints (figure 1.1). Each joint comprises an axis around which two members pivot. The movements of the robot’s joints are generated by brushless motors coupled to resolvers. Each of these motors is equipped with a parking break.
Chapter 1 – Description 1.2. DESIGNATION OF ROBOTS OF THE RX SERIES 90B FAMILY RX family arm Maximum reach between joints 2 and 5 expressed in decimeters: dimension + dimension Number of active joints: • 0 = 6 active joints.
Chapter 1 – Description 1.4. PERFORMANCE See figure 1.4 Brake release access area Area accessible in righty configuration STANDARD ARM LONG ARM Work envelope R.M max. reach between joints 2 and 5 900 mm 1100 mm R.m min. reach between joints 2 and 5 289 mm 401 mm R.b reach between joints 3 and 5...
Chapter 1 – Description 1.5. LOAD CAPACITY – MECHANICAL INTERFACE Mechanical interface End-effector The end-effector is not supplied with the robot arm assembly; its design depends on the robot’s specific applications. All studies can be undertaken in cooperation with STÄUBLI to obtain optimum performance without exceeding the robot arm assembly load limits.
Chapter 1 – Description 1.5.2. ATTACHMENT OF ADDITIONAL LOAD ON FOREARM An additional load can be attached to the forearm using 4 M5 screws; maximum torque is 7 Nm. Position of 4 M5 tapped holes: See figure 1.6. DIMENSIONS STANDARD ARM LONG ARM 167.5 ±...
Chapter 1 – Description 1.5.3. ADDITIONAL LOAD DIAGRAMS These diagrams can be used to determine the additional load which can be attached to the forearm depending on its center of gravity position from joint 3 and the load attached to the mechanical interface of the wrist.
Chapter 1 – Description 1.6. USER CIRCUIT The electric wiring of the arm is assembled into a harness including several cables supplying the motors (power, brakes, resolvers), the solenoid valves, the limit switches and user connector. These components are connected by means of removable connectors. The harness also includes pneumatic hoses which supply air to the solenoid valves (EV1 and EV2).
Chapter 1 – Description 1.8. PNEUMATIC AND ELECTRIC CIRCUITS (EXCEPT FOR CLEAN ROOM APPLICATION) 1.8.1. PNEUMATIC CIRCUIT Plate attached to base Forearm Solenoid valves (EV1 and EV2): • 5/2-way monostable. • Electrically controlled (24 VDC). • Working pressure: 1.5 to 7 bar. •...
Chapter 1 – Description 1.10. PRESSURIZATION UNIT FOR DUSTY ENVIRONMENTS 1.10.1. PURPOSE For very severe applications in dusty environment, to maintain the inside of the arm at a pressure greater than the atmospheric pressure to avoid migration of dust. 1.10.2. INSTALLATION •...

FLOOR CONFIGURATION CEILING CONFIGURATION 1) Balanced position (joint 2 brake released) is as follows: without load: with nominal load: without load: with nominal load: A = 90 A = 90˚ A = 180 A = 180˚ ˚ A = 90 A = 90˚...
Chapter 1 – Description 1.11. SAFETY The robot arm’s energy is that accumulated by the springs. Indeed, joint 2 is equipped with a spring balance system. Releasing joint 2 discharges the accumulated energy. This energy label is attached on the arm and must remain in place. The brake release movements are described on the opposite page according to arm configuration (floor or ceiling).
Chapter 2 – On-site preparation 2.1. WORKING SPACE The user is responsible for performing all preparatory work required to complete the on-site installation of the robot. Working space must be sufficient, installation surface appropriate; power sources shall be available (for electrical power, consult controller characteristics). DANGER: The arm's working area must be surrounded by a closed safety enclosure in compliance with the country's safety legislation preventing personnel...
Chapter 3 – Installation 3.1. ARM PACKAGING (figure 3.1) Standard packaging: Case (1): L x H x P = 850 x 1210 x 640 mm Gross weight: • Standard arm:136 kg • Long arm:137 kg International packaging: Case (1): L x H x P = 935 x 1210 x 670 mm Gross weight: •...
Chapter 3 – Installation 3.4. INSTALLATION OF ARM CAUTION: The arm can be attached with the base downwards (floor-mounted version) or with base upwards (ceiling-mounted version). Caution: the balance system is installed in the factory for one OR the other of these versions. Conversion from a floor-mounted version to a ceiling-mounted version requires a mechanical operation on the balance system.
Chapter 3 – Installation 3.5. SPRING TENSION CAUTION: The robot must be attached to the ceiling. Do not rotate joint 2. Figure 3.9 • Remove hoisting ring (9) from the arm. • Unscrew the 4 M5 screws (1) attaching cover (2). •...
