Note 1: Components with numbers in () are the standard components contained in the product package listed on page 1. Note 2: The pendantless connector should be attached to the robot controller when no teach pendant or mini-pendant is connected. Configurators of the Robot System (VP-G series)
The figure below shows the names of the components of the robot unit and the rotation direction of each axis. Names of Components (VP-G series) NOTE: The flange (tool mounting face) of the robot unit may be coated with rust preventive oil which does not affect the robot function.
2.2.2 Name Plate The name plate is affixed in the base part, which includes serial number of the robot, robot model, and day of manufacturer, etc. The serial number is the figure which identifies the robot of each customer and it is paired with the figure of the controller.
Chapter 2 Configuration of the Robot System 2.2.3 Warning and Caution Labels The robot unit has warning and caution labels pasted as shown below. They alert the user to the dangers of the areas on which they are pasted. Be sure to observe the instructions printed on those labels.
The figure below shows the names of the robot controller components. Note: For warning and caution labels pasted on the controller, refer to the RC7M CONTROLLER MANUAL. Connectors for the VP-G series (Encoders connected via bus) Connector No. Marking Name...

Robot Positioning Time 1. Positioning time means the time from the start of robot operation to the arrival at the target positioning point. 2. After the robot moves to and passes the target positioning point, vibration will be dampened and the robot positioned at the target positioning point as shown in Figure below.
Air Piping and Signal Wiring The VP-G series is equipped with 4 air pipes for air chuck and 9 signal lines. The air piping and signal wiring of the VP-G series are shown in the figure below. NOTE: Maintenance and inspection of the robot unit sometimes requires removing and installing the covers.
Chapter 3 Specifications of the Robot Unit Precautions When Designing the End-effectors Design an end-effector such that it is in compliance with items (1) to (3) described below. CAUTION If the end-effector design precautions are not observed, the clamped parts of the robot unit may become loose, rattle or be out of position.

As shown in the figure below, divide the end-effector into three parts (, , ). (1) Moment of inertia around J6 Around J6 d J6...
Stopping Time and Distance (Angle) at an Emergency Stop Pressing the emergency stop button when the robot is in motion stops the robot. The stopping time required from activation of a stop signal and the distance (angle) for major three joints vary with the robot speed as shown in the graphs below. The measuring conditions are: Robot arm extended, 33%, 66% and 100% of the maximum payload.
