HW0483980 Notes for Safe Operation Read this manual carefully before installation, operation, maintenance, or inspection of the NX100. In this manual, the Notes for Safe Operation are classified as “WARNING”, “CAUTION”, “MANDATORY”, or “PROHIBITED”. Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WARNING could result in death or serious injury to personnel.
Page 14
Injury may result if anyone enters the working envelope of the manipulator during opera- tion. Always press an emergency stop button immediately if there are problems. The emergency stop button is located on the right of the front door of the NX100 and the pro- gramming pendant.
Page 15
-Check for problems in manipulator movement. -Check for damage to insulation and sheathing of external wires. • Always return the programming pendant to the hook on the NX100 cabi- net after use. The programming pendant can be damaged if it is left in the manipulator’s work area, on the floor, or near fixtures.

1.1 Contents Confirmation 1 Product Confirmation CAUTION • Confirm that the manipulator and the NX100 have the same order num- ber. Special care must be taken when more than one manipulator is to be installed. If the numbers do not match, manipulators may not perform as expected and cause injury or damage.
HW0483980 1.2 Order Number Confirmation Order Number Confirmation Check that the order number of the manipulator corresponds to the NX100. The order number is located on a label as shown below. Label (Enlarged view) THE MANIPULATOR AND THE CONTROLLER Check that the manipulator SHOULD HAVE SAME ORDER NUMBER.
HW0483980 2.1 Transporting Method 2 Transporting CAUTION • Sling applications and crane or forklift operations must be performed by authorized personnel only. Failure to observe this caution may result in injury or damage. • Avoid excessive vibration or shock during transporting. Failure to observe this caution may adversely affect the performance as the system con- sists of precision components.
HW0483980 2.2 Shipping Bolts and Brackets Shipping Bolts and Brackets The manipulator is provided with shipping bolts and brackets at position A and with the hexagon socket head cap screw at point B (" Fig. 2 Transporting Position "). Hook Rubber plate Vinyl tape (yellow) Fig.
• 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 NX100 when the arm is fully extended. Failure to observe this warning may result in injury or damage.
HW0483980 3.1 Installation of the Safeguarding Installation of the Safeguarding To insure safety, be sure to install the safeguarding. They prevent unforeseen accidents with personnel and damage to equipment. The following is quoted for your information and guidance. Responsibility for Safeguarding (ISO 10218) The user of a manipulator or robot system shall ensure that safeguarding is provided and used in accordance with Sections 6, 7, and 8 of this standard.
HW0483980 3.3 Location 3.2.1 Mounting Example Fix the baseplate onto the floor. The baseplate should be rugged and durable to prevent shifting of the manipulator or the fixture. The thickness of the baseplate is 50 mm or more, and an M20 size or larger anchor bolt is recommended. There are eight mounting holes on the manipulator base.
• Do not cover the cable with heat insulating material, and avoid multiple cabling when laying manipulator cables from the manipulator to the NX100. Failure to observe this caution may result in burn caused by cable heat emission failure. HW0483980...
(2BC and 3BC). (Refer to " Fig. 6 Manipulator Cable Connections ".) Connect these cables to the manipulator base connectors and the NX100. (Refer to " Fig. 7 (a) Details of the Manipulator Cable Connectors (Manipulator Side) " and " Fig. 7 (b) Manipulator Cable Connections to the NX100 ".
