2.3
Changing the Mechanical Ends
Mechanical stoppers are installed to the robot to mechanically control the operating
range of each axis. Changing the mechanical operating range of the robot by modifying
or adding these mechanical stoppers is referred to as "changing the mechanical ends."
Here, how to change the mechanical ends of Axes 1 to 3 of the robot is explained.
Note that Axis 4 is different from other operating axes; it restricts the operating range
with software limits only, not with mechanical stoppers. Therefore, regarding how to
change the mechanical ends of Axis 4, see "2.3.3, Changing Software Limits."
•
To change mechanical ends, design and produce mechanical stoppers by
referring to this document according to your usage.
•
When mechanical stoppers have been changed and then mechanical ends
have been changed, be sure to also change software limits to prevent
contact with the mechanical stoppers while operating the robot.
•
Mechanical stoppers do not securely limit the movable range of the robot.
When the power of the robot is turned on, never enter the operating range
of the robot.
•
If the robot collides with mechanical stoppers, the robot detects the collision
and stops, but the mechanical stoppers may be damaged, Avoid reusing
such mechanical stoppers.
•
The mechanical stopper reference drawings shown in this document do not
completely satisfy the customer's usage.
Design, produce and install mechanical stoppers according to your usage,
such as the operating range.
•
The failures of the robot caused by mechanical stoppers will be excluded
from the warranty coverage.
