Special environmental conditions

72
The protected model comes with protective shielding from dusty or wet environments where
splashes are possible. In order to ensure the model will perform all of its designed
functions, please make sure that the equipment is used according to the following
conditions:
As an IP65 equivalent certified product, the manipulator should withstand water
splashes from a hose. However, immersing in water should be avoided even if it is just
part of the manipulator.
The manipulator's surface is finished to tolerate oil at large.
requirements specify that the manipulator must withstand certain kinds of oil, please
consult with your local sales dealer.
Measurements for dew formation on the manipulator have not been preformed.
Therefore, use normal temperature water when using water around the manipulator.
If your requirements specify that the manipulator handles food, please consult with your
local sales dealer to test the equipment prior to use. Ensure that no damage to food
occurs due to the manipulator's handling.
The manipulator cannot be used in corrosive environments where strong acid or alkaline
is used. In a salty environment where the rust is likely to gather, the manipulator is
susceptible to rust.
If the manipulator must be placed near machine tools, please make sure that the bellows
are not touched by the tools.
The controller unit* supplied with the protected model will not withstand the same dusty,
wet, or oily environments as the manipulator. Therefore, the controller unit must be
stored in either a separate room or a protective box to comply with its own environment
specifications.
To store the controller unit* in a protective box, it is imperative to use a heat exchanger
to keep the calorific value generated from the controller under 300W.
