Information About Replacing Parts

Overview

The use and application of the information contained herein require expertise in the design and programming of automated control systems. Only you, the user, machine builder or integrator, can be aware of all the conditions and factors present during installation and setup, operation, repair, and maintenance of the machine or process.

You must also consider any applicable standards and/or regulations with respect to grounding of all equipment. Verify compliance with any safety information, different electrical requirements, and normative standards that apply to your machine or process in the use of this equipment.

 DANGER
ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
  • Disconnect all power from all equipment including connected devices prior to removing any covers or doors, or installing or removing any accessories, hardware, cables, or wires except under the specific conditions specified in the appropriate hardware guide for this equipment.
  • Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm the power is off where and when indicated.
  • Operate electrical components only with a connected protective ground (earth) cable.
  • Verify the secure connection of the protective ground (earth) cable to all electrical devices to ensure that connection complies with the connection diagram.
  • Do not touch the electrical connection points of the components when the module is energized.
  • Provide protection against indirect contact.
  • Insulate any unused conductors on both ends of the motor cable.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

The robot heats up significantly when subjected to heavy loads and/or high performance.

The metal surfaces of the robot may exceed 70 °C (158 °F) during operation.

 WARNING
HOT SURFACES
  • Avoid unprotected contact with hot surfaces.
  • Do not allow flammable or heat-sensitive parts in the immediate vicinity of hot surfaces.
  • Verify that the heat dissipation is sufficient by performing a test run under maximum load conditions.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

For further information, refer to Hot Surfaces.
