Failure to observe this caution may result in injury or damage. • Avoid excessive vibration or shock during transporting. The system consists of precision components, so failure to observe this caution may adversely affect performance.
2.1 Transporting Method 2.1.1 Using a Crane As a rule, the manipulator should be lifted by a crane with wire ropes when removing it from the package and moving it. Be sure the manipulator is fixed with the shipping bolts and brackets before transporting, and lift it in the posture as shown in "...
2.2 Shipping Bolts and brackets 2.1.2 Using a Forklift When using a forklift, the manipulator should be fixed on a pallet with shipping bolts as shown in " Fig. 3 Using the Forklift ". Insert claws under the pallet and lift it. The pallet must be strong enough to support the manipulator.
3 Installation WARNING • Install the safeguarding. Failure to observe this warning may result in injury or damage. • Install the manipulator in a location where the fully extended arm and tool will not reach the wall, safeguarding, or controller. Failure to observe this warning may result in injury or damage.
3.1 Safeguarding Installation Safeguarding Installation To insure safety, be sure to install safeguarding. It prevents unforeseen accidents with personnel and damage to equipment. Refer to the quoted clause for your information and guidance: Responsibility for Safeguarding (ISO10218) The user of a manipulator or robot system shall ensure that safeguards are provided and used in accordance with Sections 6, 7, and 8 of this standard.
3.2 Mounting Procedures for Manipulator Base 3.2.1 Mounting Example For the first process, anchor the baseplate firmly to the ground. The baseplate should be rug- ged and durable to prevent shifting of the manipulator or the mounting fixture. It is recom- mend to prepare a baseplate in 40 mm or more in thickness, and anchor bolts in M16 or larger size.
3.3 Types of Mounting Types of Mounting The MOTOMAN-EA1400N can be mounted in three ways: floor-mouning (standard), wall- mounting, and ceiling-mounting. For wall-mounted and ceiling-mounted types, the three points listed below are different from the floor-mounted type. The manipulator types for ceiling-mounting are: YR-EA1400N-A10 and YR-EA1400N-A11.
3.4 Location 3.3.3 Precautions to Prevent the Manipulator from Falling In case of installation of wall-mounted and ceiling-mounted types, for safety purposes, take measures to keep the manipulator from falling. Refer to " Fig. 6 Precaution against Falling ". Support to prevent the manipulator from fall Manipulator base Hexagon socket head cap screw M16...
4 Wiring WARNING • Ground resistance must be 100 Ω or less. Failure to observe this warning may result in fire or electric shock. • Before wiring, make sure to turn the primary power supply off, and put up a warning sign. (ex. DO NOT TURN THE POWER ON.) Failure to observe this warning may result in fire or electric shock.
4.1 Grounding Grounding Follow local regulations for grounding line size. A line of 5.5 mm or more is recommended. Refer to " Fig. 7 Grounding Method " to connect the ground line directly to the manipulator. • Never use this line sharing with other ground lines or grounding electrodes for other elec- NOTE tric power, motor power, welding devices, etc.
4.2 Cable Connection 4.2.1 Connection to the Manipulator Before connecting two cables to the manipulator, verify the numbers on both manipulator cables and the connectors on the connector base of the manipulator. When connecting, adjust the cable connector positions to the main key positions of the manipulator, and insert cables in the order of 2BC and 1BC, then set the lever low until it clicks.
