WARNING
To ensure safety, be sure to install safety barriers for the robot system. For details, refer to the following
section.

2.3.3 Manipulator Mounting Dimensions

The maximum envelope of the Manipulator is shown in the figures below. The maximum envelope shown in each figure
includes the 60 mm radius of the hand. If the radius of the hand exceeds 60 mm, define the radius as the distance to the outer
edge of the maximum envelope. In addition to the hand, if a camera, solenoid valve, or other component attached to the arm is
large, set the maximum envelope to include the range that the component may reach.
Also, besides the area required for installation of the Manipulator, Controller, peripheral equipment, and other devices, the
following space should be provided at a minimum.
Space for teaching
Space for maintenance and inspection (Space for working safely in the safety barriers)
Space for cables
The minimum bend radius of the power cable and signal cable is 60 mm. When installing the cables, be sure to maintain
sufficient distance from obstacles. Also, leave enough space for other cables so that they are not forced to bend at extreme
angles.
WARNING
Install the Manipulator in a location with enough space so that a tool or a workpiece tip does not reach a wall
or safety barriers when the Manipulator extends its arm while holding a workpiece. If the tool or the workpiece
tip reaches a wall or safety barriers, it is extremely hazardous and may result in serious bodily injury and/or
severe equipment damage to the robot system.
The distance between the safety barriers and the tool or workpiece should be set according to ISO 10218-2.
For the stopping time and stopping distance, refer to the following sections.
