1. Installation Environment
RCM-E
An environment that satisfies the following conditions is required during installation.
RCM-P
Generally speaking, it should be an environment where a worker can work without any protective gear.
RCM-PM-01
• There should be no direct sunlight.
• Any radiant heat from a large heat source such as heat treatment furnace should not be directed at the
machine main body.
• The ambient temperature should be 0 to 40°C.
• The relative humidity should be 85% or less. There should not be dew condensation.
• There should not be corrosive gas or flammable gas.
• It should be a normal assembling work environment where there is not too much dust.
M
a
n
u
l a
No.
• Oil mist or cutting liquid should not be directed at the machine.
ME0158
• Chemical liquid should not be splashed on it.
ME0159
• An impact or vibration should not be transmitted to it.
ME0155
• There should not be strong electromagnetic waves, ultraviolet rays or radiation.
ME0355
• The working space required for maintenance or inspection should be secured.
ME0376
2. Storage Environment
ME0178
• The storage environment should comply with the standards same as those for the installation
ME0227
environment.
ME0174
In particular when the machine is to be stored for a long time: pay close attention to environmental
ME0175
conditions so that no dew condensation forms.
Unless specially specified, moisture absorbency protection is not included in the package when the
ME0182
machine is delivered. In the case that the machine is to be stored in an environment where dew
ME0207
condensation is anticipated, take the condensation preventive measures from outside of the entire
ME0162
package, or directly after opening the package.
• The maximum storage temperature is 60°C for a short storage period. If the robot is to be stored for
more than a month, the ambient temperature should not exceed 50°C.
