Mechanical Manual for GBT-S6A Series Robots 3.4 Wrist payload conditions Before use, it is necessary to set the correct payload data for the robot. It is important to carefully confirm the mass and inertia of the payload before operation. Overload may lead to excessive operation of the motor, the reducer and relevant structures.
Mechanical Manual for GBT-S6A Series Robots Mount the device onto the robot 4.1 Mount the end-effector to the front end of the wrist The following figure shows the mounting surface of the end-effector at the front end of the wrist. Select the lengths of the bolts and positioning pins after sufficiently considering the depths of the screw hole and pin hole.
Mechanical Manual for GBT-S6A Series Robots 4.2 Mounting surface Caution 1. Never increase machining holes or screw holes on the robot body, for it may cause adverse effects on the safety and functionality of the robot. 2. Please note that the use of screw holes other than those shown in the following figure is not warranted.
Mechanical Manual for GBT-S6A Series Robots 4.3 About payload setting Caution Before operation, it is important to correctly set the payload for the robot. Do not operate under payloads inconsistent with the set payload or under overload conditions. The weight of the payloads, including cables connecting surrounding devices, cannot exceed the transportable weight of the robot.

Mechanical Manual for GBT-S6A Series Robots Zero calibration method 7.1 Summary Zero calibration is an operation associating the angle of each robot joint with the pulse count. The zero calibration operation is to obtain the pulse count corresponding to the zero position.
Mechanical Manual for GBT-S6A Series Robots 7.2 General calibration method Select one or several axes and record their current readings as new zero data in the parameter file of the robot's Flash. The recording objects include main axis and additional axes of the robot (if any). It is possible to calibrate a single axis.
Mechanical Manual for GBT-S6A Series Robots Zero encoded data direct write As for the direct writing of zero calibration data, the zero calibration data can be directly entered into the system variables. This operation is used in the situations where zero calibration data is lost while pulse data is still maintained.
Mechanical Manual for GBT-S6A Series Robots Confirmation of zero calibration results Confirm whether the zero calibration is carried out normally: Usually, it is required to determine whether the zero calibration has been completed normally and check whether the current position display is consistent with the actual position of the robot by the following method.
Mechanical Manual for GBT-S6A Series Robots Resolution of common faults A fault in the mechanism is sometimes caused by multiple different causes together. So, it is often difficult to thoroughly investigate them. In addition, incorrect measures (if taken) may actually lead to further deterioration of the fault.
