4.4 Working distance and field of view of TM Robot’s EIH camera The field of view of TM Robot’s EIH camera varies linearly in accordance with the working distance. The minimum working distance is about 100 mm and the maximum working distance is about 300 mm. The zero working distance point is approximately 49 mm in front of the flange surface and right behind the center of the protection lens.
5. Electrical Interface 5.1 Overview This chapter introduces all electrical interfaces of the robot arm and control box. 5.2 Electrical Warnings and Cautions The application design and installation of the robot should comply with the following warnings. DANGER: 1. Ensure all pieces of the equipment are kept dry. If water enters the equipment, disconnect the power and contact your supplier.
Figure 27: Control Box I/O Configuration (2/2) 5.3.1 Safety Connector Provides extension ports for Emergency Stop (ESTOP) & Safeguard Port. 1. ESTOP is a N.C. contact (Normally closed). When any connected ESTOP switch is OPEN, the robot enters the Emergency STOP state. 2.
Application settings of the arm safety device If the safety device is used to work with the safety connectors on the TM Robot, the safety relay can be connected to the safety connector to work as the normally closed switch triggered by the safety device. If direct connection between safety device and safety connector on the TM Robot is preferred, use a safety device with PNP outputs.
Figure 30: The Wiring Diagram Example of PNP Output Type Safety Device 5.3.2 Power Connector 1. During boot, the control box will check for an external 24V input. If none is found then it will switch to the internal 24V supply. 2.

Connect the power cable to the control box Place the control box near the robot base Figure 53: Moving the Control Box (1/2) The control box should be carried by at least two people. One should hold on to the control box handles, while the other should hold the foot stands.
6.4.2 Verification Before Removal of the Robot Arm The TM Robot arm cannot stand independently after being removed from the carton. Place four screws (M10 *4) to be used to attach the bottom of the robot near the mounting surface in advance. If the mounting surface has alignment holes, insert the alignment pins into these holes.
Figure 56: Moving the Robot Arm (2/2) WARNING: When the robot is installed to the base, make sure two people work together to install it. If it is designed with pinholes, pay attention to your safety to avoid pinching. If you do not have connection parts at hand, such as the connecting pins, screws, do not leave the robot without completely tightening it (with the 4 screws completely tightened).
6.4.4 Connect the Robot and Control Box Connect the power cable from the control box to the robot, and then connect the power cable from AC power to the control box to boot up the controller. Figure 57: Connecting the Robot and the Control Box WARNING: 1.
