Don’t remove or change any mechanical stopper on the robot by yourself. 2. When you install the end effector on ball screw spline, please install it at 30mm on the lower end of ball screw spline and fix with the threaded structure over M4.
C07UE001-1804 4-2 Overview for Calculating Static Torque and Rotation Inertia 4-2-1 Calculate Static Torque The permissible static torque for this robot is 90N.m, determined by M (torque) = F (force) × L (end fixture/effector overhang plus total arm length), and must be less than 90N.m.
C07UE001-1804 Calculate Rotation Inertia Rotation inertia is quantity used to indicate a force is against the rotation of an object. When a fixture/an end effector are installed on the end of ball screw spline, rotation inertia for the loaded device must be taken into account. Rotation axis of ball screw spline Fixture/end effector Workpiece b...
Page 29
C07UE001-1804 The methods to calculate rotation inertia of an object are as shown in (a), (b) and (c). Please refer to the methods to calculate rotation inertia for the basic shape, and determine rotation inertia of the object.

C07UE001-1804 5 Robot Maintenance In order to ensure the robot can efficiently operate and protect the operator safety, please periodically maintain the robot according to the following sections. Don’t disassemble the motor, decelerator and ball screw spline for the maintenance by yourself to influence the accuracy of the robot.
C07UE001-1804 5-1-1 Disassemble Cover Don’t force to disassemble the cover. Otherwise, it could cause poor cable contact or damage as well as electric shock or robot failure. Don’t remove the cable sleeve when you disassemble the cover, and avoid excessively pulling it so that the circuit drops or breaks to cause the robot failure.
C07UE001-1804 5-1-2 Install Cover Note that the internal circuits are excessively bent when you install the cover. Otherwise, it could cause poor cable contact or damage. Note that ball screw spline is interfered with the cover when you install the cover, and the screws are fastened to complete the installation.
C07UE001-1804 5-2 J3 & J4 Axes J3 & J4 axes employ 100W servo motors. With the link of the belt wheel and the belt, the rotational and linear motions of ball screw spline are controlled. A user can remove the cover to check there is any failure inside the Arm B. ...
C07UE001-1804 5-2-1 Check J3 & J4 Belts There are three drive belts, 2 for J3 axis and one for J4 axis, installed in the robot, which are used to link the servo motor and ball screw spline. A user must periodically check the belts are worn, and confirm the belt tension meets the requirements to ensure the robot can efficiently run.
