NOTES FOR SAFE OPERATION

Read this manual carefully before installation, operation, maintenance, or

inspection of the YRC1000/YRC1000micro.

In this manual, the Notes for Safe Operation are classified as “DANGER”,

“WARNING”, “CAUTION”, or “NOTICE”.

Even items described as “CAUTION” may result in a serious accident in

some situations.

At any rate, be sure to follow these important items.

DANGER

Indicates an imminently hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, will

result in death or serious injury.

Safety Signs identified by the signal

word DANGER should be used

sparingly and only for those

situations presenting the most

serious hazards.

WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, will

result in death or serious injury.

Hazards identified by the signal

word WARNING present a lesser

degree of risk of injury or death than

those identified by the signal word

DANGER.

CAUTION

Indicates a hazardous situation,

which if not avoided, could result in

minor or moderate injury. It may

also be used without the safety alert

symbol as an alternative to

“NOTICE”.

NOTICE

NOTICE is the preferred signal word

to address practices not related to

personal injury. The safety alert

symbol should not be used with this

signal word. As an alternative to

“NOTICE”, the word “CAUTION”

without the safety alert symbol may

be used to indicate a message not

related to personal injury.

NOTE

To ensure safe and efficient operation at all times, be sure

to follow all instructions, even if not designated as “DAN-

GER”, “WARNING” and “CAUTION".

• Before operating the manipulator, make sure the servo power is

turned OFF by performing the following operations. When the servo

power is turned OFF, the SERVO ON LED on the programming

pendant is turned OFF.

– Press the emergency stop button on the front door of the

YRC1000, on the programming pendant, or on the external

control device, etc.

– Disconnect the safety plug of the safety fence.

(when in the play mode or in the remote mode)

If operation of the manipulator cannot be stopped in an emergency,

personal injury and/or equipment damage may result.

Fig. : Emergency Stop Button

• Before releasing the emergency stop, make sure to remove the

obstacle or error caused the emergency stop, if any, and then turn

the servo power ON.

Failure to observe this instruction may cause unintended movement of

the manipulator, which may result in personal injury.

Fig. : Release of Emergency Stop

TURN

• Observe the following precautions when performing a teaching

operation within the manipulator's operating range:

– Be sure to perform lockout by putting a lockout device on the

safety fence when going into the area enclosed by the safety

fence. In addition, the operator of the teaching operation must

display the sign that the operation is being performed so that no

other person closes the safety fence.

– View the manipulator from the front whenever possible.

– Always follow the predetermined operating procedure.

– Always keep in mind emergency response measures against the

manipulator’s unexpected movement toward a person.

– Ensure a safe place to retreat in case of emergency.

Failure to observe this instruction may cause improper or unintended

movement of the manipulator, which may result in personal injury.

• Confirm that no person is present in the manipulator's operating

range and that the operator is in a safe location before:

– Turning ON the YRC1000 power

– Moving the manipulator by using the programming pendant

– Running the system in the check mode

– Performing automatic operations

Personal injury may result if a person enters the manipulator's

operating range during operation. Immediately press an emergency

stop button whenever there is a problem. The emergency stop buttons

are located on the front panel of the YRC1000 and on the right of the

programming pendant.

• Read and understand the Explanation of the Warning Labels before

operating the manipulator.

DANGER

• In the case of not using the programming pendant, be sure to

supply the emergency stop button on the equipment. Then before

operating the manipulator, check to be sure that the servo power is

turned OFF by pressing the emergency stop button.

Connect the external emergency stop button to the 4-14 pin and 5-

15 pin of the Safety connector (Safety).

• Upon shipment of the YRC1000micro, this signal is connected by a

jumper cable in the dummy connector. To use the signal, make sure

to supply a new connector, and then input it.

If the signal is input with the jumper cable connected, it does not

function, which may result in personal injury or equipment damage.

WARNING

• Perform the following inspection procedures prior to conducting

manipulator teaching. If there is any problem, immediately take

necessary steps to solve it, such as maintenance and repair.

– Check for a problem in manipulator movement.

– Check for damage to insulation and sheathing of external wires.

• Always return the programming pendant to the hook on the

YRC1000/YRC1000micro cabinet after use.

If the programming pendant is left unattended on the manipulator, on a

fixture, or on the floor, etc., the Enable Switch may be activated due to

surface irregularities of where it is left, and the servo power may be

turned ON. In addition, in case the operation of the manipulator starts,

the manipulator or the tool may hit the programming pendant left

unattended, which may result in personal injury and/or equipment

damage.
