Adjustable Hardstops

The robot is equipped with several mechanical hardstop adjustment points for joints 1, 2, and 3 as de-
scribed in the following sections. Adjust these mechanical hardstops to restrict the robot's range of
motion in order to prevent collisions within the workspace if necessary.
The robot's physical hardstop devices are not intended to withstand repeated use and
if this occurs, the hardstop may become damaged. Implement proper programming
and configuration of joint range limits to prevent hardstop impacts.
Precautions for Correct Use
Always reduce joint motion limits with software settings in the robot configuration area when
hardstops are used to restrict range of motion. Refer to the Sysmac Studio Robot Integrated
System Building Function with Robot Integrated CPU Unit Operating Manual (Cat. No. W595)
for more information.
Additional Information
• Obstacles may be defined with software configuration to restrict the robot tool-tip from enter-
ing specified volumes of the work envelope. Refer to the Sysmac Studio Robot Integrated
System Building Function with Robot Integrated CPU Unit Operating Manual (Cat. No. W595)
for more information.
• Refer to 2-1-6 Robot Work Envelope Dimensions on page 2-6 for full range of motion values.
