FOR YOUR SAFETY If using auxiliary axis functions to operate a motor, such as a servo motor, that produces feedback and/or a motor with high output etc., or when using auxiliary axes in the formation of a robot etc., we ask that you perform a risk assessment on your side and take any necessary safety measures.
Page 9
FOR YOUR SAFETY If Using Auxiliary Axis Functions in a Way that Require Safety Measures Danger When power to the robot is ON, never enter the safety enclosure or put your face, hands, or any part of your body inside. Failure to do can result in injury.
Page 10
FOR YOUR SAFETY If Using Auxiliary Axis Functions in a Way that Require Safety Measures Warning Construct a safety enclosure that is strong enough to protect the operator against such dangers as the tool or workpiece splintering, etc. When working within the safety enclosure, use protective gear such as a helmet, protective gloves, protective goggles, and safety shoes.
Page 11
FOR YOUR SAFETY Danger Do not use where flammable or corrosive gas is present. Leaked gas accumulating around the unit causes explosions and fire. Warning Make sure that you securely install the unit in a place that can fully withstand both the unit’s weight and its usage.
Page 12
FOR YOUR SAFETY Warning Always make sure the machine is grounded through the power cord. Do not use the machine when it is not grounded. Improper grounding causes electric shocks, fires, malfunction, and unit breakdown. Wipe the power plug with a clean, dry cloth periodically to eliminate dust. Dust accumulation deteriorates the electrical insulation and causes fires.
Page 13
FOR YOUR SAFETY Caution Do not drop or jar the unit during transport and/or installation. This causes injuries or damages the unit. Before performing any operation, ensure there is no imminent danger to any of the operators. Failure to do so causes injury. Use the unit in an environment between 0 and 40°C, with a humidity level of 20 –...
Page 14
FOR YOUR SAFETY Caution When attaching tools etc., make sure they are securely fitted before running the robot. Failure to do so causes injury or breakdown. When using the machine for extended periods of time, check and make sure none of the main unit’s mounting screws are loose, and perform a routine inspection every 3 months.
