z Install a safety guard fence so that personnel will not enter the take-out robot motion area. A serious
accident could result if someone enters the take-out robot motion area during Auto operation.

7
WARNING
z Do not damage the power cable by pulling, bending, or
putting a heavy object on it. A damaged cable could be
the cause of fire or electric shock.

z If any of the following cases should occur, immediately


stop the operation and turn OFF the power to the hand-
held controller. If you continue the operation under such
conditions, a fire may result in the worst case.
• When fume rises from the take-out robot body or
control box, or the outside surface of the take-out
robot emits abnormal heat.
• When any abnormal noise is heard.
• When water enters inside of the take-out robot.

z To prevent electric shock due to possible current leak-


age, be sure to ground the plug by using one of the fol-
lowing methods.
• Connect the earth terminal of the plug to the earth
terminal of the plug socket.
• Connect the earth terminal of the plug to a copper
bar embedded in the ground at a depth of 650 mil-
limeters or more.
• Connect the earth terminal of the plug to a Class D
grounding terminal.

z Do not connect the earth terminal of the plug with the


following objects.
• Gas pipe (There is a possibility of flashing or explo-
sion.)
• Grounding wire from the public telephone line or
lightning arrestor (A great amount of current will flow
through the wire in the case of a thunderbolt.)
• Water pipe or faucet (If plastic or rubber is used in
part, it will not work as a grounding medium.)

8
WARNING
z If any air leak is detected, stop the take-out robot and
eliminate the cause of air leak. Servicing the take-out
robot while it is operated may cause serious personal
injuries.

z Check the following before turning ON the breaker.


Turning ON the breaker could cause the take-out robot
to go into action, resulting in serious personal injuries.
• No person is in the take-out robot motion area.
• The handheld controller and other tools are located
in their specified positions.
• No obstacles are on the moving frame of the take-
out robot.

z Do not get over the safety guard fence or let other


objects hit the safety guard fence. Otherwise, personal
injuries may result.

z If any abnormality occurs to the injection molding


machine or the take-out robot, check the handheld con-
troller lamp and digital display. Then, turn OFF the
power to the handheld controller.

9
WARNING
z Do not open the safety gate or remove the safety guard
fence during operation.

z Do not allow those other than qualified persons to open


the cover or panel of the take-out robot.
Otherwise, a malfunction of the take-out robot could
result.

z Do not put any vessel containing water, such as a vase


or glass, on top of the take-out robot body or the con-
troller. If water spills over the take-out robot body or the
controller, it is likely that you suffer from an electric
shock.

z Do not put any piece of metal, such as a clip or staple,


on the take-out robot body or the controller. If such a
piece of metal drops into the take-out robot body or the
controller, a short circuit could occur resulting in fire or
electric shock.

10
WARNING
z Do not put a heavy object on the take-out robot body or
the controller. It could damage not only the surface but
internal structure of the take-out robot body or the con-
troller, or it may fall on the floor or directly hit a person.

z Do not use an extremely flammable spray near by the


take-out robot. It is extremely dangerous to do so, as
fire may result.

10 REGULAR MAINTENANCE
10.1 Cleaning

Cleaning the take-out robot is recommended once a month to keep all of its parts in good
condition. Use a clean, dry rag to wipe the take-out robot clean. If the take-out robot is par-
ticularly dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a neutral cleaning agent.

z Never wash the take-out robot with water. Exposing the electrical parts to water could
cause fire or malfunction.
WARNING

z Before cleaning, turn OFF the injection molding machine power, the take-out robot control
power, and the pneumatic pressure (0 MPa (gauge)).
z Avoid using acidic solvents, alkaline solvents or organic solvents, such as paint thinner or
benzene. Using these substances could damage the pneumatic tubing, electrical wiring, or
CAUTION paint.
z Do not wipe the guide shaft or the rollers of the arm unit and kick unit. Doing so could
remove the grease film from these parts. (See the figure below.)
