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.

A supplementary explanation helps users operating the robot more efficiently. SAFETY OF USERS (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.
Page 6
SAFETY Ensure that there is a place to retreat to in case of emergency. Never stand beneath the robot in case of unexpected movement or the system be turned on inadvertently. Make sure there is a CO fire extinguisher at hand. SAFETY OF OPERATORS (1) Before operating the robot, check that the SERVO ON indicator goes out when the EMERGENCY STOP button on the right of the front door of the controller and the pendant are pressed.
Page 7
SAFETY Turn off the enable switch when pausing, programming or testing the system. Teach pendant must be taken with the programmer when teaching in the work space, to avoid inadvertent operation by unauthorized person. Teach pendant must not be left within the work space of the robot, as injury or damage can occur if the robot comes in contact with the teach pendant.
Page 8
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.
SAFETY The following processing is performed at Hold: The robot operation is decelerated until it stops. Execution of the program is paused. LABELS (1) Electric Shock Warning Fig 0.1 Electric Shock Warning This label indicates hazardous voltage or electric shock. (2) High-temperature Warning Fig 0.2 High-temperature Warning Be cautious about a section where this label is affixed, as the section generates heat.
Page 10
Never enter the operation area while the Manipulator is moving. This is extremely hazardous and may result in serious safety problems. (5) No Disassembly Warning Fig 0.5 No Disassembly Warning Never perform disassembly arbitrarily where the warning is affixed. Contact ESTUN for disassembly. (6) Handling...

CHECK AND MAINTENANCE 5.5.3. Procedure for releasing remaining pressure within the grease bath Release remaining pressure with the following procedures. Attach bags under the oil outlet to prevent spilled oil/grease from splattering. a) Power the robot, and operate at a 100% speed with full load for 4 hours continuously. b) Stop the running program of the robot at zero position, turn off the servo power with the teach pendant.
TROUBLESHOOTING 5.6. Oil leakage inspection Maintenance Area Insert a cloth or similar material into the gaps of each joint to check for any oil leakage from the oil seals. If oil leakage is observed, please wipe it clean. ⚫ Depending on the operating conditions and surrounding environment, oil may leak from the outer lip of the oil seals.
If the zero position data lost due to disassembly or maintenance, this method cannot be used. ESTUN robot uses 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.

Never perform any maintenance unless the power of the robot system is cut off. 7.1. TOOLS Troubleshooting tools includes travelling crane, forklift, internal hexagonal wrench, monkey wrench and special tools for removing the bearings.
7.3. REPLACING THE SERVO MOTOR Contact ESTUN representative if servo motor replacement is needed. When removing some parts of the robot, other parts may lose support, thus leads to unexpected movement, and cause personnel injury and equipment damage.
