WARNING
The manipulator can easily tip over if it is not properly bolted to its mounting
surface.
Transporting the manipulator
Transport the manipulator in the delivered condition. After unpacking, to prevent the
manipulator from falling, secure the manipulator to a transporter such as a cart or lift, or
have it carried by two or more people. (Refer to section 3.1 Opening the box.) If you are
using a hoist or a similar apparatus to lift the equipment, make certain that the manipulator
is well balanced in the belt.
Be certain to secure the manipulator’s arms before transporting it. (Refer to section 3.5
Relocating the manipulator.)
Safeguard design
For safety reasons, it is necessary to equip robot systems with safeguards.
Refer to the Safety chapter in the EPSON RC+ User’s Guide.
Refer to the Safety section of the SRC5**/SPEL 95 Introduction manual.
Refer to the Safety section of the User’s manual for SRC-300/320.
Base table design
Make certain the base table is sufficiently strong and stable. (Refer to section 2.3 Base
table.)
End effector design
An end effector equipped with a gripper or chuck should hold its object when the power is
off. (Refer to section 5.1 Attaching an end effector.)
The end effector should be within the specified weight and within Joint #4’s allowable
moment of inertia. (Refer to section 5.2 The end effector and acceleration / deceleration.)
