2.2 Installation and Storage • Preservation Environment
[1] Installation Environment
The actuator should be installed in a location other than those specified below.
In general, the installation environment should be one in which an operator can work without protective
gear.
Also provide sufficient work space required for maintenance inspection.
x
Where the actuator receives radiant heat from strong heat sources such as heat treatment furnaces
x
Where the ambient temperature exceeds the range of 0 to 40qC
x
Where the temperature changes rapidly and condensation occurs
x
Where the relative humidity exceeds 85% RH
x
Where the actuator receives direct sunlight
x
Where the actuator is exposed to corrosive or combustible gases
x
Where the ambient air contains a large amount of powder dust, salt or iron (at level exceeding what is
normally expected in an assembly plant)
x
Where the actuator is subject to splashed water, oil (including oil mist or cutting fluid) or chemical
solutions
x
Where the actuator receives impact or vibration
If the actuator is used in any of the following locations, provide sufficient shielding measures:
x
Where noise generates due to static electricity, etc.
x
Where the actuator is subject to a strong electric or magnetic field
x
Where the actuator is subject to ultraviolet ray or radiation
[2] Storage • Preservation Environment
The storage • preservation environment should be similar to the installation environment. In addition,
make sure condensation will not occur when the actuator is to be stored or preserved for a long period
of time. Unless specified, we do not include drying agents when shipping the actuator. If you are storing
the actuator in an environment where condensation might occur, you must treat the entire shipping box,
or treat the actuator itself after unpacking, to prevent condensation. The unit can withstand
temperatures up to 60qC during a short storage/preservation period, but only up to 50qC if the
storage/preservation period is longer than one month.
The actuator should be lying flat during storage • preservation.
If the actuator is to be stored in a packed state, follow the specified actuator position if indicated.
[3] Handling of the Robot Mounted on Mechanical Equipment (System)
The following are the cautions for when transporting the actuators installed in the machinery equipment
(system) in the whole system.
x
Affix the table so they would not move while transporting.
x
If any end of the actuator is overhanging, secure it properly to avoid significant movement due to
external vibration. If the actuator assembly is transported without the ends being secured, do not
apply an impact of 0.3G or more.
x
Do not attempt to apply load to actuators or connector box when hanging the machinery equipment
(system) with tools such as a rope. Also, avoid the cables being pinched or caused an excessive
deformation.
