Setup & Operation 4. Setting of End Effectors
44 VT Rev.1
4.3.1 Weight Setting
CAUTION
â–
Set the total weight of the end effector and the work piece smaller than the
maximum payload.
Manipulators can operate without limitations on the condition
unless and until the load exceeds this maximum payload. Always set the
Weight param
eters of the WEIGHT command according to the load. Setting a
value that is smaller than the actual load may cause errors, excessive shock,
insufficient function of the Manipulator, and/or shorten the life cycle of
parts/mechanisms.
The acceptable weight capacity (end effector and work piece) for VT series Manipulators
is as follows:
Change the setting of the Weight parameter according to the load.
After changing the Weight parameter setting, the maximum acceleration/deceleration and
speed of the robot system corresponding to the load is set automatically.
Setting method of Weight parameters
-[Robot Manager]-[Weight] panel and set the value in [Weight:].
You may also execute the Weight
command from [Command Window].
