Do not use in locations exposed to flammable gases WARNING The robots are not designed to be explosion-proof. Do not use the robots in locations exposed to explosive or inflammable gases, dust particles or liquid. Otherwise, serious accidents involving death or serious injury, or fire may result.
Precautions for controllers Installation environment ■ Installation environment WARNING The robots are not designed to be explosion-proof. Do not use the robots and controllers in locations exposed to explosive or inflammable gases, dust particles or liquid such as gasoline and solvents. Otherwise, serious accidents involving death or injury,or fire may result.
Wiring method WARNING Securely install the connectors into the controller and, when wiring the connectors, make the crimp, press-con- tact or solder connections correctly using the tool specified by the connector manufacturer. CAUTION When disconnecting the cable from the controller, detach by gripping the connector itself and not by tugging on the cable.
• Taking noise prevention measures • Using methods for signaling operators of related equipment • Using methods to decide that an error has occurred and identify the type of error Implement the "Work instructions" according to the type of robot, installation location, and type of work task. When drawing up the "Work instructions", make an effort to include opinions from the workers involved, equipment manufacturer technicians, and industrial safety consultants, and so on.
WARNING • Install an interlock that triggers emergency stop when the door or gate of the safety enclosure is opened. • The safety enclosure should be designed so that no one can enter inside except from the door or gate equipped with an interlock device.
WARNING When work within the safety enclosure is required, always turn off the controller power except for the following cases: Exception Work with power turned on, but robot in emergency stop Follow the precautions and procedure described in "Adjusting the Origin position setting SCARA robots origin".
WARNING If an error occurs in the robot or peripheral devices, observe the following procedure before entering the safety enclosure. 1) Press the emergency stop button to set the robot to emergency stop. 2) Place a sign on the start switch, indicating that the robot is being inspected in order to keep others from restarting the robot.
Precautions of Z-axis movement when air supply is stopped (air-driven Z-axis) WARNING The Z-axis will slide downward when the air pressure to the Z-axis air cylinder solenoid valve is reduced, creating a hazardous situation. Turn off the controller and place a support under the Z-axis before cutting off air supply.

6. Cautions regarding strong magnetic fields Some YAMAHA robots contain parts generating strong magnetic fields which may cause death, bodily injury, or device malfunction. Always comply with the following instructions. • Those who are wearing medical electronic devices such as cardiac pacemakers or hearing aids must keep away from the linear single-axis robot and linear conveyor module.
Robot protective functions Protective functions for YAMAHA robots are described below. Overload detection This function detects overload if the robot collides or interferes, and then turns off the servo. Overheat detection Detects an abnormal rise in driver temperature and turns off the servo.
We decide models by single robot product (controller, robot and peripheral device) and conform them to the EMC standards. This does not therefore guarantee that the YAMAHA robot-series product conforms to the EMC standards if only the robot is used independently. The customer who incorporates YAMAHA robot products into the customer's final system, which will be shipped to or used in Korea, should verify that the overall system conforms to the EMC standards.
It is not necessary to take measures for ERCD and robots connecting to ERCD. Examples of EMC countermeasures for single YAMAHA robot product are the same as those of CE marks. Refer to countermeasures described in the related user's manual.

Connecting with the RCX222 controller (2 axes) WARNING When connecting the robot cable, insert the robot cable connector straight into the mating connector on the controller. Inserting the connector while tilted might cause the pins to make poor contact, causing robot malfunction and the connector itself might even break.
Connecting with the RCX340 or RCX240 controller (3 axes/4 axes) 7.2.1 3-axis model WARNING When connecting the robot cable, insert the robot cable connector straight into the mating connector on the controller. Inserting the connector while tilted might cause the pins to make poor contact, causing robot malfunction and the connector itself might even break.
7.2.2 4-axis model WARNING When connecting the robot cable, insert the robot cable connector straight into the mating connector on the controller. Inserting the connector while tilted might cause the pins to make poor contact, causing robot malfunction and the connector itself might even break. CAUTION These connectors all work in only one direction.
Installing the Tool WARNING The user must responsibly determine the bolt type and tightening torque for the tool installation, and must accurately tighten these. Improper installation could cause the tool to dislocate during operation and lead to serious accidents. CAUTION Install the tool at the designated section.
When installing some weight other than the tool or workpiece on the robot's moving section, add that weight. (For example, if an air valve is fixed on the Y-axis frame, include that weight in the payload.) The optimum acceleration and servo gain, etc., are automatically set for the Cartesian robot XY-X series by inputting the controller payload parameters.
RCX340 Operator’s Manual Chapter 3 "4.7 Changing the automatic movement speed" 10.3 Setting the acceleration The acceleration is automatically set for the Cartesian robot XY-X series when the payload parameter is set, so large vibration will not occur during operation.
Refer to this section and set the origin position before using the robot. The Cartesian robot XY-X series uses an absolute method position detector, and thus return-to-origin is not required when the controller power is turned ON again. However, the origin position must be set the first time the controller power is turned ON from any of the following states.
Before beginning work Periodic inspection and maintenance are essential to ensure safe and efficient operation of YAMAHA robots. This Chapter describes the periodic inspection of the XY series. Before beginning the work, thoroughly read the safety precautions described below and the "Safety Instructions" to strictly observe the instructions.
Periodic inspection The periodic inspection is composed as follows. • Daily inspection • Three-month inspection • Six-month inspection • Three-year inspection After you have understood the inspection contents fully, perform the inspection work while referring to the safety precautions. Daily inspection The following is an inspection list that must be performed every day before and after operating the robot.
