Start-Up

Overview

When the robot is operated for the first time, there is a risk of unintended equipment operation caused by possible wiring errors or unsuitable parameters.

WARNING
	UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION Verify that the robot is properly fastened so it cannot come loose even during fast acceleration. Take all necessary measures to ensure that the moving parts of the robot cannot move in an unanticipated way. Verify that emergency stop equipment is operational and within reach of the zone of operation. Verify that the system is free and ready for the movement before starting the system. Run initial tests at reduced velocity. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

WARNING

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

Verify that the robot is properly fastened so it cannot come loose even during fast acceleration.
Take all necessary measures to ensure that the moving parts of the robot cannot move in an unanticipated way.
Verify that emergency stop equipment is operational and within reach of the zone of operation.
Verify that the system is free and ready for the movement before starting the system.
Run initial tests at reduced velocity.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

If the motor power supply is disabled unintentionally, for example as a result of power outage, errors or functions, the motor is no longer decelerated in a controlled way.

WARNING
	UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION Verify that movements without braking effect cannot cause injuries or equipment damage. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

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.

NOTE: Perform a start-up for an already configured robot when using the robot under modified operating conditions. For further information, refer to Hazard Information.

Commissioning Procedure

Step	Action
1	Verify the installation.
2	Comply with the instructions provided in the manual of the motor used and in the manual of the drives used.
3	Verify that the load conforms to the specified payloads for the robot before operating the robot.
4	Limit the maximum torque of the motor in accordance with the maximum drive torque of the robot.
5	Perform initial tests at reduced velocity.
6	Verify that the ambient conditions conform to the appropriate specified conditions for the robot.
