Robot installation angle
The angle of the manipulator installed relative to ground is set in ANGLE
REL. TO GROUND to calculate the gravity moment which loads to each
axis of the manipulator.
The robot installation angle sets how much X axis of the robot coordinates
has inclined with the ground around Y axis of the robot coordinates. The
direction of + in the U axis operation from the home position posture of the
manipulator becomes direction of + of the robot installation angle.
Therefore, the robot installation angle for a vertical downward wall mount
specification becomes -90 degrees.
<Example>
If the robot installation angle is not correctly set, the manipulator cannot
be properly controlled. Therefore, make sure to set the value correctly,
paying special attentions to the direction “+” or “-”.
S-head payload
Set the weight and the center of gravity position roughly when the
equipment such as transformer is installed at the S-head.
It is not necessary to set these values when there is no installed load on
the S-head.

NOTE
Only rotation angle around Y axis of the robot coordinates
can be set in the robot installation angle.

to incline Y axis of the robot coordinates relative to ground.
