Moving the R6YXC500, R6YXC600, R6YXC700, R6YXC800,
R6YXC1000
WARNING
SERIOUS INJURY MAY OCCUR IF THE ROBOT FALLS AND PINS
SOMEONE UNDER IT.
•CHECK THAT THERE ARE NO CRACKS AND CORROSION ON THE
EYEBOLT INSTALLATION. IF FOUND, DO NOT USE EYEBOLTS TO
MOVE THE ROBOT.
• SCREW THE EYEBOLTS SECURELY INTO THE TAPPED HOLES UNTIL
THE BEARING SURFACE OF EYEBOLT MAKES TIGHT CONTACT WITH
THE BEARING SURFACE ON THE ARM.
•USE A HOIST AND ROPE WITH CARRYING CAPACITY STRONG
ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE ROBOT WEIGHT.
• MAKE SURE THE ROPE STAYS SECURELY ON THE HOIST HOOK.
• REMOVE ALL LOADS ATTACHED TO THE ROBOT MANIPULATOR
END. IF ANY LOAD IS STILL ATTACHED, THE ROBOT MAY LOSE
BALANCE WHILE BEING CARRIED, AND TOPPLE OVER CAUSING
ACCIDENTS.
CAUTION
• WHEN MOVING THE ROBOT BY EQUIPMENT SUCH AS CRANES THAT
REQUIRE A LICENSE, ONLY PROPERLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL MAY
OPERATE IT.
• THE EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS USED FOR MOVING THE ROBOT
SHOULD BE SERVICED DAILY.
To move a robot (for example, the R6YXC500) correctly and safely, follow the
procedure below. (See Fig. 3-5.) Use the same procedure to move other robots.
1) If the Z-axis is not at the origin position, perform return-to-origin from
outside the safeguard enclosure. Then, turn off the controller and
unplug the robot cable from the controller. (The Z-axis is fixed at the origin
position prior to shipping.)
2) Remove the X-axis arm cover and set screws.
3) Fold the X and Y-axis arms as shown in the drawing, and clamp the Y
axis arm to the robot pedestal by using the stay and bolts that come with
the robot. If the arms cannot be folded in the carrying position due to the
X-axis mechanical stoppers, then remove them. (When the robot is shipped,
the mechanical stoppers are installed to provide the maximum movement
range.)
4) Screw the two eyebolts securely into the tapped hole on the machined
bearing surface of the X-axis arm.
