In this manual, all specifications and information are checked on a regular basis. Nevertheless, discrepancies cannot be precluded, for which reason we are not able to guarantee total conformity. ESTUN assumes no responsibility for any direct or indirect losses arising from use of this manual and products described herein.
This chapter describes the precautions which must be followed to ensure the safe use of the robot. Before using the robot, be sure to read this chapter thoroughly. ESTUN robots must be transported, mounted and operated in accordance with national laws, regulations and standards. Appropriate safeguards must be correctly performed to protect the users. Before using (mounting, operating, maintaining, repairing) the robot, be sure to read and understand this manual and its relevant manuals.

SAFETY SAFETY OF THE USER (1) The robot should be transported and installed as procedures recommended by ESTUN. Wrong procedures may cause severe injuries or damage due to the robot fall. (2) Draw an area clearly indicates the safety area. Install a fence or hang a warning board to ensure the safety operation of the robot, and keep unauthorized personnel outside the safety area.

SAFETY The system will not run unless the pressed emergency button being released and the system being turned There are several emergency stop buttons in a robot system to stop the robot in case of emergencies. The red button, as shown in the left figure, can be mounted on the teach pendant and the controller.
Page 7
For abnormal or emergency situations, e.g. persons trapped in or pinched by the robot, the robot axes should be moved. (Contact ESTUN for more details about dismantling). Small arms can be moved by hand. Lager arms should be moved by crane or other handling equipment.

CHECK AND MAINTENANCE 5.5 ROBOT GREASING Greasing is required every 3 years, or for a cumulative operation time of 11520 hours, whichever occurs first, according to the following steps. Refer to the table below for the brand and quantities of the grease applied to each joint.
CHECK AND MAINTENANCE J4-axis oil inlet J4-axis oil inlet Fig 5.16 J4 axis oil inlet and outlet(ER8-2000-CW) PROCEDURE OF GREASING 5.5.2. The following steps only applied to operation of reducers of J1, J2, and J3 axis. a) Teach each joint to run at a speed of 100% for 10-20min, to make the grease into oil with low viscosity.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE FOR RELEASING REMAINING PRESSURE WITHIN THE 5.5.3. GREASE BATH Release remaining pressure with the following procedures. Attach bags under the oil outlet to prevent spilled oil/grease from splattering. Power the robot, and operate at a 100% speed with full load for 4 hours continuously. Stop the running program of the robot at zero position, turn off the servo power with the teach pendant.
If the zero position data lost due to disassembly or maintenance, this method cannot be used. ESTUN robot use encoder data as an auxiliary of calibration. Procedures are shown below. a) Jog the robot manually to the place where the calibration marks are align.

Mechanical disassembly or maintenance may cause zero position data lost. mechanical zero position calibration is performed with all axes jogged to zero-position using their respective witness marks. Use the J1 axis as an example to illustrate the calibration procedure.
