Safety Precautions Always read the following precautions and the separate "Safety Manual" before starting use of the robot to learn the required measures to be taken. CAUTION All teaching work must be carried out by an operator who has received special training.
Page 4
The points of the precautions given in the separate "Safety Manual" are given below. Refer to the actual "Safety Manual" for details. DANGER When automatic operation of the robot is performed using multiple control devices (GOT, programmable controller, push-button switch), interlocking of operation rights of the devices, etc.
Page 5
CAUTION Make sure that if the safety fence entrance door is opened during automatic operation, the door is locked or that the robot will automatically stop. Failure to do so could lead to personal injuries. CAUTION Never carry out modifications based on personal judgments, or use non- designated maintenance parts.

Software Fig.4-2: Definition of component C for RH-10CRH/RH-20CRH (over ±180) As the component C covers a value less than -180 or more than +180, an actual rotational angle can be set for the rotational angle for linear interpolation or perfect circle/circular interpolation. To move the work at a target angle in the robot programming, the rotation direction was set by specifying an operation in the argument Type or changing the multi-rotation flag (FL2) for conventional robots but is set just by specifying an angle for RH-10CRH/RH-20CRH value of the FL2 is always 0.

Safety premature wear of moving parts. To avoid such situation, perform warm-up operation of the machine at a low speed (at about 20% of normal operation speed). Move the robot arm from the lower to the upper limit of the movable range with the 30 degree joint angle or more for about 10 minutes. After that, speed up the operation gradually.

Safety 6.4 EMC installation guideline 6.4.1 Outlines Industrial robots are one of the components of automation systems as well as main components. This sec- tion introduces methods and parts to ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in automation systems. We test for EMC in the environment described in this manual, but the noise level varies depending on device types, layout, control panel structure, and wiring, etc.

Safety 6.4.4 Example of EMC measures Industrial robots are designed for use with other devices. We test our industrial robots for conformity with EMC standards in the following system architecture. However, it does not mean that every system meets the requirements of EMC standards. Electromagnetic compatibility depends on the relationship between the industrial robot and devices in the system, wiring conditions, layout, or other factors.
