The Operation Manual (Operation Edition) describes the operation method, setting method and safety
precautions on operation of the robot.
Please read this Operation Manual thoroughly before operating this robot.
It is prohibited to operate the robot by using any procedures or methods which are not described in this
Operation Manual.
If any mechanical failure or physical injury occurs in operation without fully understanding of the
contents of the Operation Manual, our company will not bear any responsibilities.
In order to read this Operation Manual at any time, please place this Operation Manual beside the robot
and designate a responsible person for the related management.

Symbols of danger level


The safety precautions described in this Operation Manuel are classified into the following three types.

DANGER!

If the content of this precaution is not followed, death


or serious injury may be caused.

WARNING!

If the content of this precaution is not followed,


serious injury may be caused or the machine may be
seriously damaged.

Indication of key points


The key points for operation will be indicated by the symbol

in this Operation Manual.

1. Preface

1-2. Hazardous Areas


Composition and Charging areas of the robot
The robot consists of the driving box, the signal interlock box and the control box.

DANGER!
It is prohibited to open the front cover of the robot when the machine is on or running. The
exposed high-voltage connecting terminal and charging part are causes of electric shock. If the
front cover needs to be opened for maintenance and the mechanical part inside it is to be touched,
the power switch must be turned off first (OFF).
Particularly for the places marked with

, the circuit may have remaining voltage

when the power switch is on or even after the power is turned off for several minutes (ten minutes
or more). Do not touch them.

The value of strokes may differ depending on the robot model.


For details, please refer to the operation manual for main body
(machine side).

WARNING!
Since the robot is running at a high speed in the working area, it is prohibited to enter this area
during its running.
Even if automatic operation is not performed, when you need to enter completely or partly this
area for maintenance, the power must be turned off as per specified procedures (For details, please
refer to 4. Switching on and off the power.)

Safety Precautions
When the enterprises or institutions use and operate the robot, a proper fence should be designed and
installed for isolation so as to prevent the operator from entering the working area of the robot
carelessly.

1. Preface

1-3. Safety precautions

WARNING!
The covers and switches installed for safety shall not be removed or modified without the
permission of our company.
It is prohibited to rebuild or modify the robot so as to prevent the safety performance from
deteriorating.
The operation of the robot should be conducted by the qualified operator alone.
Do not wear gloves when operating the robot (except for handling the product for
after-treatment and cleaning).
When the power is stopped, the main control power shall be shut off immediately.
If the power supply is frequently stopped due to the strong thunder and lightning or other
unknown reasons, operation of the robot shall be temporarily suspended so as to prevent the
accidents which may be caused by the abnormal power.
It is prohibited to use the robot when baffle plate deforms due to the strong impact of the robot,
please contact the technical service department of our company.
The robot shall be placed in doors.

CAUTION!
Do not use the wet or dirty hand to touch the switch or the screen.
If the operator doesnt fully understand the relations between the operation switch and key and
the operation of the robot, do not run the machine.
Do not touch the switch or the screen unconsciously, nor lean on the machine.
Make sure to have known the position of the emergency switch so that it can be operated at any
time.
Keep sufficient operation space. Remove any obstacles around the working site.
In order to prevent the accidents caused by collapse, any overflowed oil or water on the floor
shall be cleaned and the dry floor and passages shall be kept.
Keep the driving box and the control box from strong shock or violent striking.
Do not remove the safety nameplate and keep it clean.
Operators who are dizzy or cannot make normal judgment due to drinking alcohol, taking
medicine, illness or other reasons shall not operate the robot.

6. Home position return


When the automatic operation begins, the operation for home position return must be done.
Depending on the stop position of vertical arm, the aforesaid operation may be different.

Caution
Make sure no people or other obstacles are within the working range of the robot before the
relevant operations.

POINT
When the power is turned on, no need to conduct the home position return.
When the circuit breaker in the control box is off or the main power switch of the
factory is turned off, absolute home position operation must be conducted.
For details, please refer to 6-3 Home position setting.

6-1. When the vertical arm is inside the mold


In the course of automatic operation, when an alarm occurs inside the mold or emergency stop occurs
while the arm is inside the mold (software end of the extracting side is on, ascent end L3 and runner side
ascent end L3S are off), move the arm to the outside through free operation.
After the power is turned on, if home position return is already complete and the axis positions (teach
of each axis) are completely set, the home position return can be done even if the arm is inside the
mold.

6-3. Home position setting


This machine is equipped with main power, and when the circuit breaker is ON, the present position of
motor of each axis will be memorized even if the power switch is shut off.
The home position return operation can be conducted by manual operation or automatic operation.
While, when the circuit breaker or the main power is OFF, the present position of motor of each axis will
lost.
In addition, the present position may lose when exchanging or wiring change due to the breakdown of the
servo motor or servo amplifier.
If the power is turned on at this time, the servo alarm will appear (65), and manual or free operation cant
start before the home position is reset.

POINT
The home position setting method is same as the home position return, while the running speed and
rotation direction of the motor of the axis is different.

Caution!
Make sure if there is any interference within the action range.
The possible collision with the interfering object may cause the wrong setting of the home
position.
The crosswise axis of the product will go forward before hitting the mechanical block when it
moves from the home position to the positive direction, so make sure if there is any
interference before setting the home position.
After the home position setting is completed, please confirm the mechanical position by naked
eyes.

When the vertical arm is not at the ascent end


When the arm is descending, and the circuit breaker and the main power are OFF, ascend the extracting
arm through free operation.
1. Through free operation, move the vertical arm at the product side or runner side to a position which
does not cause interference with the mold.
2. Through free operation, raise the vertical arm at the product side or runner side to the ascent end.

For free operation, refer to 13-5. Free teach operation.


After the extracting arm is moved outside the mold, carry out the home position return according to the
operation described on the next page (the vertical arm is at the ascent end).

Description

Action

Turn on this mode when separating


defective products to release based
on the defective product signal from
the molding machine.
Defective products are released at the
defective product release position.
This function cannot be conducted
when the defective product
rejection interlock signal wiring
is not connected with the molder.

ON

The standard packaging action


packages the product always at the
same interval. Use this mode when
the same interval packaging cannot
be sued due to product shapes.
Number of the position for
packaging is 115.
If this mode is turned on, product
release action is conducted at two
positions.
The product release position can
beset at the packaging setting 1 and
2 positions.
When the product 2 point release is
used, the chuck release operation is
manual operation of the open/close
key of the chuck and chuck chuck
2 act simultaneously.
The open and close of each chuck
can be executed through free
operation.
When using the product 2 point
release, the first product release
uses the packaging setting, and
the second product release uses
the packaging setting 2.
The number of packaging setting
is 0-256.
The number of packaging setting
2 is 0-256.
