8.1 Position of Limit Switch
8.1.1 Specification of Limit Switch
1. The interference limit switch at S-, L- and U-axes electrically limit the
operating range of respective axes by adjusting the position of the dog
using the limit switch.
The positions of the mechanical limits (mechanical stoppers) at S-, L-
and U-axes are changeable.
When the limit switch is activated, the power supply to the manipulator
is interrupted, then the manipulator makes an emergency stop as a
result. Refer to “8.9 Overrun/Tool Shock Sensor Releasing” in “DX100
INSTRUCTIONS” for releasing the status of this overrun.
2. The range of S- and U-axes limit switches are set to the maximum
envelope before shipping.
The maximum envelope of L-axis is set from -90°to +155°, but L-axis
with overrun limiti switch is set from -90°to +120° before shipping.
8.1.2 Location of Limit Switch
The limit switch is optional. For the S-, L-, and U-axes with limit switch
specifications, the limit switch is located on S-, L-, and U-axis respectively.
For their locations, refer to Fig.8-1 Location of Limit Switch.

In case of re-adjusting the operating range of each subject
axis, it is also required to change the dog location and limit
values in software. Contact your Yaskawa representative if
re-adjustment is required.
