Safety notices related to take-out robot operation
DANGER
z Do not enter the take-out robot motion area when the take-out robot is in operation. The take-out robot
motion area is indicated by the shaded portion in the figure below.
Motion area
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.
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.
9
WARNING
z Do not open the safety gate or remove the safety guard
fence during operation.
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.
11
CAUTION
z Before starting operation, make sure the specified
power is supplied. Supplying inappropriate power may
cause a failure of the take-out robot. Refer to the speci-
fications for the details of the rated voltage and fre-
quency.
z When moving the take-out arm unit within the mold area
by the manual operation, take due care that the take-
out arm unit does not come into contact with the mold.
Be sure to operate the take-out robot outside the safety
guard fence.
12
CAUTION
z Before initiating the take-out robot operation, give spe-
cific training to the prospective operators and designate
a supervisor. Operator is not allowed to disassemble
the take-out robot without the supervisor's permission.
Do not allow those operators other than designated by
the supervisor to disassemble the take-out robot. Oth-
erwise, a failure of the take-out robot may result.
13
CAUTION
z Provide a handbook consisting of the following guide-
lines, and inform every operator of the significance of
those instructions. Neglecting the guidelines may result
in a failure of the take-out robot or personal injuries.
• Methods and procedures for operating routines
including start-up of the take-out robot and each
switch
• Signs used by a group of persons assigned to the
same work
• Actions to be taken in an emergency
• Steps to restart the take-out robot after an emer-
gency stop, i.e. checking of safety conditions and
correcting of abnormal status
• Signs used between operators of the take-out robot
and those of the linked equipment
• Tags, cards or the like indicating the take-out robot
is in course of maintenance or inspection
Make sure the guideline for each of the above items is
appropriate for types of the take-out robot, installation
location.
14
CAUTION
z Do not use air that contains the following substances.
Also make sure such substances are not contained in
the atmosphere. Use only clean air. Otherwise, a failure
of the take-out robot may result.
• Organic solvents
• Phosphate oil
• Sulfur dioxide
• Chlorine gas
• Deteriorated compressor oil
• Acids
• A great deal of water
15
CAUTION
z Perform regular maintenance without fail. Otherwise, a
Maintenance day
delay in finding a failure may cause damage to the
take-out robot or personal injuries.
16
DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION labels
The take-out robot is provided with DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION labels as shown
in the figure below. Be sure to observe the information on these labels when operating,
inspecting, or performing maintenance on the take-out robot. Do not deface these labels. If
any of these labels peels off or becomes dirty or torn, replace it.
CAUTION
Secure the circular
plates with the supplied
M8 x 22 bolt before
starting auto operation.

3.1 Auto Operation Description
The Auto operation modes are the operation modes used during production.
Auto operation includes two modes of operation.
z Auto Operation
In this mode, the take-out robot is operated based on the specified teaching data while
synchronizing with the injection molding machine. This mode is used for normal pro-
duction.
z One-cycle Operation
This mode is used to make sure the mold data created for a new mold is appropriate.
41
3 AUTO OPERATION
z Before starting Auto operation, make sure no people or obstacles are in the take-out robot
motion area.
DANGER
1 Access the “Mold Data Read” screen in either of the following manners:
1) Press the MoldRead key to display the “Mold data menu” screen. Select the Mold Data
Read icon on the “Mold data menu” screen and press the key.
2) Press the Menu key to display the “Menu” screen. Select the Mold Data Read icon on

the take-out robot while adjusting after a mold change or any other situation.
z Operations other than manual/valve operation are allowed without the deadman switch
being pressed.
z When the deadman switch is pressed in halfway, the touch panel controller goes operative
(ON), allowing manual/valve operation to be performed. It turns OFF when the deadman
switch is not pressed or is pressed completely in. At that time, manual/valve operation
cannot be performed.

After adjusting the position and stroke of the cylinders, adjust the cylinder motion speeds.
z At the standard take-out speed (amount of time from mold open to mold closed signal) the
U-type motion takes 1.2 seconds. Set to a maximum of 1.0 seconds.
z At the standard take-out speed the L-type motion takes 1.4 seconds. Set to a maximum of
1.2 seconds.
z Do not perform operation at speeds faster than the maximum speed. Otherwise, the take-
CAUTION out robot may malfunction.

5.1 Teaching Description
Teaching refers to the process of setting-up an Auto operation sequence for the take-out
robot and loading it into memory. Teaching involves the following steps:
85
5 TEACHING
z Before beginning teaching, make sure that the mold for which the teaching data is
intended is installed in the injection molding machine.
DANGER
1 Access the “Mold Data Read” screen in either of the following manners:
1) Press the MoldRead key to display the “Mold data menu” screen. Select the Mold Data
Read icon on the “Mold data menu” screen and press the key.
2) Press the Menu key to display the “Menu” screen. Select the Mold Data Read icon on
the “Menu” screen and press the key.
86

88
5 TEACHING
Basic motion can be set in a short time by using the basic motion setting.
z The basic motions cannot be set during Auto operation. Make sure the take-out robot is
stopped before setting the basic motion.
The take-out robot has the following 5 motions as the basic motion mode.
Motion modes 6 and 7 are optional.
z “Forward” refers to the motion when the kick unit moves toward the main body of the take-
out robot and has chucked the work.

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.)
Rollers

10 REGULAR MAINTENANCE
The relays in the main body junction box eventually wear out. Replace them once a year.
z Before replacing the relays, be sure to turn OFF the injection molding machine power. Fail-
ure to observe this precaution could lead to electric shock.
