2.3 Transporting the Robot
Precautions
When transporting the robot, note the following:
• Check that the eyebolts are securely fastened.
• Use a wire sling or forklift that is strong enough to withstand the weight. (The
weight of the robot is approximately 268 kg (590 lb) including the shipping bolts
and brackets.)
• Attached eyebolts are designed to support the robot’s weight. Do not use them for
anything other than transporting the robot.
• Mount the shipping bolts and brackets for transporting the robot. See Figure 2-1
on page 22 .
• Avoid exerting force on the arm or motor unit when transporting.
• Have at least two workers transport and install the robot.
• Workers should wear helmets, safety shoes, and gloves during transport.
Using a Crane
As a rule, when removing the robot from the package and moving it, a crane should be
used. The robot should be lifted using wire slings threaded through the attached eyebolts.
Make sure the robot is fixed with shipping bolts and brackets before transporting, and lift
it into the position shown in
Figure 2-1 on page 22 .
CAUTION: Sling and crane or forklift operations must be
performed by authorized personnel only.
CAUTION: Avoid excessive vibration or shock during
transporting. The system consists of precision
components, so failure to observe this caution my
adversely affect performance.
DANGER: Pass the hoisting wires through the specified
eyebolts as illustrated below. Passing them through other
sections may drop the robot unit, resulting in injuries to
personnel or damage to the robot.
