Handling Precautions
1. Do Not Set Speed and Acceleration/Deceleration Higher Than the Rated Values.
Do not set speed and acceleration/deceleration higher than the rated values. It causes vibration, failure, or
shortening of life. If acceleration/deceleration higher than the rated value is set, creeping phenomenon or
coupling slide may occur.
2. Do Not Apply External Force on the Rod from Directions Other Than the Rod
Traveling Direction.
Do not apply external force (radial load) on the rod from directions other than the rod traveling direction. If
force in the perpendicular or rotating direction is applied on the rod, the actuator may be damaged or
malfunction.
If external force from directions other than the traveling direction is applied, mount external guide or similar.
3. Oil Film of Grease May Run Out If Short-distance Reciprocating Operation is Performed.
When performing continuous reciprocating operation of a distance of 30 mm or shorter, oil film of grease
may run out. To recover oil film, perform approximately five cycles of a distance of 50 mm or longer, every
5,000 to 10,000 cycles, as a guideline
Make sure to attach the Horizontal Articulated Robot properly by following this
operation manual.
Using the product with the Horizontal Articulated Robot not being certainly retained or affixed may cause
abnormal noise, vibration, malfunction or shorten the product life.
