3 Installation Environment and Storage Environment
3.1 Installation Environment
Install the robot in an environment that satisfies the following conditions:
x Away from direct sunlight
x Not subject to radiated heat from a high-capacity energy source such as a heat-treating furnace
x Ambient temperature: 0qC to 40qC
x Humidity: 85% or less (non-condensing)
x Not exposed to corrosive or flammable gases
x Not subject to impact or vibration
x Not exposed to a significant amount of electromagnetic waves, ultraviolet rays or radiation
x Sufficient space is available to ensure safety in teaching and maintenance/inspection operations
Generally, the robot must be installed where the operator need not wear protective gear in order to work.
3.2 Installation Platform
The platform on which to install the robot receives a significant reactive force. Be certain the platform has
sufficient rigidity to withstand the anticipated force.
x The surface on which the robot is fixed must have a thickness of 25 mm or more.
The levelness of the robot installation surface must be at least r0.05 mm.
x Drill and tap holes, as indicated below, into the installation surface of the platform.
Type Tap size Remarks
IX-HNN50 /60
IX-INN50 /60
M10
Effective thread: 10 mm or longer for steel (20 mm or longer
for aluminum)
IX-HNN70 /80
IX-INN70 /80
M12
Effective thread: 12 mm or longer for steel (24mm or longer
for aluminum)
x The platform must have sufficient rigidity to withstand not only the weight of the robot but also the
dynamic moment of inertia that is generated when the robot is operated at maximum speed.
x Secure the platform to the floor or other rigid structure in a manner that prevents any movement due
to operation of the robot.
x The installation platform must allow the robot to be mounted on a level surface.
3.3 Storage Environment
The storage environment conforms to the installation environment. If the robot is to be stored for a
prolonged period of time, be sure the robot will not be exposed to dew condensation.
Unless otherwise specified, desiccant is not placed in the carton when shipped. If the robot is to be kept in
an environment subject to condensation, provide preventive measures from over the carton or directly to
the robot after unpacking.
The maximum storage temperature is 60qC for a short storage period. If the robot is to be stored for more
than a month, the ambient temperature should not exceed 50qC.
z Failure to provide a proper environment for installation and storage may shorten the service life of
the robot, reduce its operation accuracy, or cause a malfunction or failure.
z Never use the robot in a flammable atmosphere. The robot may explode or ignite.
