The manipulator should be lifted using wire rope threaded through attached eyebolts. Be sure the manipulator is fixed with shipping bolts and brackets before transportation, and lift it in the posture as shown in "...
HW0483547 2.1 Transporting Method 2.1.2 Using a Forklift When using a forklift, the manipulator should be fixed on a pallet as shown in " Fig. 3 Using a Forklift ". Insert claws under the pallet and lift it. The pallet must be strong enough to support the manipulator.
HW0483547 3 Installation WARNING • Install the safeguarding. Failure to observe this warning may result in injury or damage. • Install the manipulator in a location where the manipulator’s tool or the workpiece held by the manipulator will not reach the wall, safeguarding, or NXC100 when the arm is fully extended.
HW0483547 3.1 Installation of Safeguarding Installation of Safeguarding To insure safety, be sure to install the safeguarding. It prevents unforeseen accidents with personnel and damage to equipment. The following is quoted for your information and guidance. Responsibility for Safeguarding (ISO10218) The user of a manipulator or robot system shall ensure that the safeguarding is provided and used in accordance with Sections 6, 7, and 8 of this standard.
