Mounting an end effector
Users are responsible for manufacturing their own end effector(s). Observe these guidelines
before mounting an end effector
When using an end effector equipped with a gripper or collet chuck,
make sure the cables and/or pneumatic hoses are connected
properly in order to prevent the gripper from releasing the workpiece
when the robot system is switched off. If the cables and/or pneumatic
hoses are not properly connected, this may cause damage to the
robot system and/or to the workpiece when the workpiece is released
by pressing the emergency stop button.
I/O outputs are configured at the factory in such a way that are
automatically switched off (0) when the power supply is interrupted,
when the emergency stop button is pressed or when the safety
devices of the robot system are activated.
Shaft
● Mount an end effector at the lower end of the spindle. Information on spindle dimensions
and total dimensions of the robot can be found in chapter 5.1 "Technical Data" on page 1.
● Do not shift the mechanical upper limit stop on the underside of the spindle. Otherwise the
mechanical upper limit stop may collide with the robot during a "jumping movement",
causing the robot system to malfunction.
● Fasten the end effector to the lower spindle end with a split sleeve coupling and an M4
screw (or larger).
Brake release switch
● Z and U cannot be moved up/down by hand because, when the robot system is switched
off, the electromagnetic brake acts on the joints. This prevents the spindle from colliding
with peripheral devices or from lowering or rotating due to the weight of the end effector if
the power supply is interrupted during operation or if a motor is switched off with the power
supply ON.
To move Z up/down or to rotate U when mounting an end effector, switch the control ON and
move the joint up/down or rotate the joint while keeping the brake release switch pressed.
This is a quick-break switch, i.e., the brake is released only when the switch is pressed. The
brakes for Z and U are released simultaneously.
