1.2.4 Operating Modes
Installation and Putting into Service
– Putting into service is only possible when the Robot and Control System has been
correctly and completely installed.
– The system installation and putting into service is exclusively the task of the
authorised personnel.
– The system installation and putting into service is only permitted inside a protected
area of an adequate size to house the robot and the fixtures it is outfitted with,
without passing beyond the safety barriers. It is also necessary to check that under
normal robot movement conditions there is no collision with parts inside the
protected area (structural columns, power supply lines, etc.) or with the barriers. If
necessary, limit the robot working areas with mechanical hard stop (see optional
assemblies).
– Any fixed robot control protections are to be located outside the protected area and
in a point where there is a full view of the robot movements.
– The robot installation area is to be as free as possible from materials that could
impede or limit visibility.
– During installation the robot and the Control Unit are to be handled as described in
the product Technical Documentation; if lifting is necessary, check that the
eye-bolts are fixed securely and use only adequate slings and equipment.
– Secure the robot to the support, with all the bolts and pins foreseen, tightened to
the torque indicated in the product Technical Documentation.
– If present, remove the fastening brackets from the axes and check that the fixing
of the robot fixture is secured correctly.
– Check that the robot guards are correctly secured and that there are no moving or
loose parts. Check that the Control Unit components are intact.
– If applicable, connect the robot pneumatic system to the air distribution line paying
attention to set the system to the specified pressure value: a wrong setting of the
pressure system influences correct robot movement.
– Install filters on the pneumatic system to collect any condensation.
– Install the Control Unit outside the protected area: the Control Unit is not to be used
to form part of the fencing.
– Check that the voltage value of the mains is consistent with that indicated on the
plate of the Control Unit.
– Before electrically connecting the Control Unit, check that the circuit breaker on the
mains is locked in open position.
– Connection between the Control Unit and the three-phase supply mains at the
works, is to be with a four-pole (3 phases + earth) armoured cable dimensioned
appropriately for the power installed on the Control Unit. See the product
Technical Documentation.
– The power supply cable is to enter the Control Unit through the specific fairlead and
be properly clamped.
– Connect the earth conductor (PE) then connect the power conductors to the main
switch.
