Industrial robots are highly programmable, mechanical devices that provide a large degree of freedom when performing various manipulative tasks. To ensure correct and safe use of OMRON industrial robots, carefully read this manual and make yourself well acquainted with the contents. FOLLOW THE WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED IN THIS MANUAL.
CHAPTER 1 Using the Robot Safely Essential Caution Items Particularly important cautions for handling or operating the robot are described below. In addition, safety information about installation, operation, inspection and maintenance is provided in each chapter. Be sure to comply with these instructions to ensure safe use of the robot. (1) Observe the following cautions during automatic operation.
Page 11

CHAPTER 1 Using the Robot Safely (18) Protective bonding WARNING BE SURE TO GROUND THE ROBOT AND CONTROLLER TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK. (19) Do not allow any object to enter the X-axis motor cooling fan. WARNING IF AN OBJECT SUCH AS A SMALL WORKPIECE WHICH THE END EFFECTOR FAILED TO PICK UP, PENETRATES INTO THE COOLING FAN FOR THE X-AXIS MOTOR, IT MAY REBOUND AND FLY AWAY FROM THE FAN, POSSIBLY CAUSING BODILY INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE FAN.
CHAPTER 1 Using the Robot Safely Special Training for Industrial Robot Operation Companies or factories using industrial robots must make sure that every person, who handles the robot such as for teaching, programming, movement check, inspection, adjustment and repair, has received appropriate training and also has the skills needed to perform the job correctly and safely. Since the XP series robots fall under the industrial robot category, the user must observe local regulations and safety standards for industrial robots, and pro- vide special training for every person involved in robot-related tasks (teaching,...
CHAPTER 1 Using the Robot Safely Robot Safety Functions (1) Overload detection This function detects an overload applied to the motor and shuts off the servo power. If an overload error occurs, take the following measures. 1. Insert a timer in the program. 2.
CHAPTER 1 Using the Robot Safely Safety Measures for the System Since the robot is commonly used in conjunction with an automated system, dangerous situations are more likely to occur from the automated system than from the robot itself. Accordingly, appropriate safety measures must be taken on the part of the system manufacturer according to the individual system.
CHAPTER 1 Using the Robot Safely Trial Operation After making installations, adjustments, inspections, maintenance or repairs to the robot, make a trial run using the following procedures. (1) If a safeguard enclosure has not yet been provided right after installation of the robot, rope off or chain off around the movement area of the manipula- tor in place of the safeguard enclosure, and observe the following points.
CHAPTER 1 Using the Robot Safely Work Within the Safeguard Enclosure (1) When work is required inside the safeguard enclosure, always turn off the controller and place a sign indicating that the robot is being adjusted or serviced in order to keep any other person from touching the controller switch or operation panel, except for the following cases.
CHAPTER 1 Using the Robot Safely Automatic Operation Automatic operation described here includes all operations in AUTO mode. (1) Check the following before starting automatic operation. 1. No one is within the safeguard enclosure. 2. The programming unit and tools are in their specified locations. 3.

The protection rating for moisture and dust in the R6YXP250 through R6YXP1000 dust/drip proof models are equivalent to IP65. Please consult OMRON for drip-proof specifications for other than water. Always use air purge. Water or dust may get inside depending on usage environment.
CHAPTER 3 Installation User Wiring Connectors and User Tubing WARNING WIRING AND TUBING WORK MAY CAUSE MALFUNCTIONS SO TURN OFF THE POWER TO THE CONTROLLER AND SHUT OFF THE AIR SUPPLY. Only the user signal wiring for the R6YXP500 through R6YXP1000 dust/drip proof models are different from the standard wiring. Other dust/drip proof model user signal wiring and air tubes are identical to the standard parts.

Manufacturer: Nanahoshi Science Laboratory 5) To check the operation and signal exchange between the end effector and the controller or peripheral equipment after making connections, refer to “6. Trial operation” of Chapter 1 in the OMRON SCARA robot user’s manual.
CHAPTER 3 Installation Air Purge Tubing WARNING TURN OFF POWER TO THE CONTROLLER BEFORE DOING PIPING OR TUBING WORK AND SHUT OFF THE AIR SUPPLY. The dust/drip proof models have air supply inlets in the base (pedestal) rear panel for air purge of X-axis, Y-axis and R-axis joints. Supplying air to these inlets prevents dust from penetrating into the robot joint.
CHAPTER 3 Installation Exhaust Port WARNING TURN OFF POWER TO THE CONTROLLER BEFORE DOING PIPING OR TUBING WORK. CAUTION BEFORE OPERATING THE ROBOT, ALWAYS BE SURE TO REMOVE THE PLUG INSTALLED IN THE EXHAUST PORT PRIOR TO SHIPPING. IF NOT REMOVED, THE BELLOWS WILL BE UNABLE TO EXTEND AND RETRACT AND MAY BE DAMAGED.
