Base Table - Epson RS Series Manual

RS3 RS4 Manipulator 3. Environments and Installation
Special Environmental Conditions
The surface of the Manipulator has general oil resistance. However, if your requirements
specify that the Manipulator must withstand certain kinds of oil, please contact the supplier
of your region.
Rapid change in temperature and humidity can cause condensation inside the Manipulator.
If your requirements specify that the Manipulator handles food, please contact the supplier
of your region to check whether the Manipulator will damage the food or not.
The Manipulator cannot be used in corrosive environments where acid or alkaline is used.
In a salty environment where the rust is likely to gather, the Manipulator is susceptible to
rust.
■ Use an earth leakage breaker on the AC power cable of the Controller to avoid
electric shock and circuit breakdown caused by short circuit.
Prepare the earth leakage breaker that pertains the Controller you are using.
WARNING
For details, refer to the Controller manual.
■ When cleaning the Manipulator, do not rub it strongly with alcohol or benzene.
It may lose luster on the coated face.
CAUTION

3.2 Base Table

A base table for anchoring the Manipulator is not supplied. Please make or obtain the base
table for your Manipulator. The shape and size of the base table differs depending on the
use of the robot system. For your reference, we list some Manipulator table requirements
here.
The base table must not only be able to bear the weight of the Manipulator but also be able
to withstand the dynamic movement of the Manipulator when the Manipulator operates at
maximum acceleration/deceleration. Ensure that there is enough strength on the base table
by attaching reinforcing materials such as crossbeams.
The torque and reaction force produced by the movement of the Manipulator are as follows:
The threaded holes required for mounting the Manipulator base are M6. Use mounting
bolts with specifications conforming to ISO898-1 property class: 10.9 or 12.9.
For dimensions, refer to 3.3 Mounting Dimensions.
The plate for the Manipulator mounting face should be 20 mm thick or more and made of
steel to reduce vibration. The surface roughness of the steel plate should be 25 μm or less.
The table must be secured on the floor or wall to prevent it from moving.
The Manipulator installation surface should have a flatness of 0.5 mm or less and an
inclination of 0.5 ° or less. If the flatness of the installation surface is improper, the base
may be damaged, or the robot may not fully show its performance.
