WARNING • As the equipment is heavy, make sure of its weight and gravity center position and disconnect the cables when carrying the equipment. Also, DO NOT carry the equipment with the slider. Otherwise, the slider will move and you will get injured.
Page 7
CAUTION • DO NOT place the equipment at a place where the ambient temperature exceeds 40°C, or where the temperature changes sharply, causing condensing, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight. Additionally, if the equipment is installed at a narrow place, the ambient temperature rises due to heat generation in the controller itself or external device, which will result in malfunction or mis-operation of the equipment.
■1.2 For your safe operation When you use the COMPO ARM BA-III series, be sure to take the measures in conformity to the following instruction: This machine is an industrial robot in conformance to the provisions of Paragraph 31of Article 36 of the Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Hygiene.
Page 9
■1.2.2 Precautions for installation Observe the following instructions when installing a robot: (1) The robot shall be laid out to ensure the work space required for robot teaching, maintenance and inspection. (2) The robot controller, other controllers and stationary operation panel shall be installed outside the movable range and where the operator can watch the robot operations.
Page 10
1. An adequately authorized supervisor shall be assigned outside the movable range and where the robot operations can be observed. This supervisor shall be exclusively in charge of the supervision and shall be responsible for the following: - The supervisor shall cause the emergency stop device to be operated immediately in the event of an error. - The supervisor shall ensure that a person other than the personnel in charge of this work is kept outside the movable range.

Chapter 4 Installing Actuator (Axis) ■4.1 Installing Actuator (Axis) This chapter describes the basic installation procedures for the axis and peripheral equipment. Installation shall comply with the instructions of this Chapter. If the installation procedure is incorrect, robot performance cannot be achieved.
Table are specified in the Actuator Instruction Manual. When you want to use a combination of axes, see the following Table for each an axis. [Robot type for BET5/BET7] When used as a slider traveling type axis (in normal use)
■4.3 Parameter values The parameters of this product are available in two types -- parameter 1 and parameter 2 -- depending on the frequency of use. The relationship between each parameter and the robot type is illustrated below: Setting the robot type allows the parameters on the circled portion on the left to be automatically changed. ■4.3.1 Values of parameter 1 for each robot type This parameter has a higher frequency of use.

Chapter 5 Precautions for Use ■5.1 Servo gain setting In the actuator, in order to facilitate the parameter setting work of the controller, the initial parameters for operating the component arm are automatically set by setting the "robot type" (6 digit number) determined for each model to the controller.
Page 24
(2) Speed gain (V) ● When the value is reduced ・ If it is made too small, an error such as "overflow error" may occur during operation (especially when accelerating) and operation may not be possible. ・ The positioning and holding force of the slider is reduced. (Rigidity decreases) ●...
Page 25
■5.1.2 About adjustment of servo gain When adjusting the servo gain, refer to the contents described in ■ 5.1.1 "Servo gain setting value and operating condition" and set according to the following description. (1) Speed gain setting The initial value of speed gain usually does not need to be changed. If it is changed, please set as follows.
Page 26
● Abnormalities such as vibration and abnormal noise may occur due to resonance, so check the operation from the low speed range used for return to origin operation and "JOG" operation to the high speed range used for continuous operation. ●...
