Product Overview of Mechanical Limit Stops
An mechanical limit stop system is able to stop the robot at nominal load and nominal speed. It is sized to absorb the kinetic energy of the axis.
The adjustable mechanical limit stops are available for axis 1 and axis 2. Apply the mechanical limit stop to both axes.
The mechanical limit stops are not included with the robot and must be ordered separately.
Part numbers of the mechanical limit stops:
oFor axis 1: LXMSTSYYYYM1000
oFor axis 2: LXMSTSYYYYM2000
The robot is mounted in a way that provides the maximum angular amplitudes defined in Mechanical Data.
Depending on the axes, the axis range can be limited by:
oSoftware settings
oAdjustable mechanical limit stops
Only the mechanical limit stops meet the safety requirements specified by the ISO 10218-1 standard to establish a restricted space around the robot. The range limitation system using software limits must only be used to protect the equipment and not to provide functional safety in the system.

DEVIATION FROM THE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS |
|
oUse the mechanical limit stops to comply with the safety requirements specified by the ISO 10218-1 standard. oDo not use software-based range limitations for safety functions in the system. |
|
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage. |
The range limitation for moving the adjustable mechanical limit stops is set out in Information About Modification of Ranges.
