Chapter 3 Preparing the Robot Installation Installation base WARNING If the installation base is not sufficiently rigid and stable, vibration (reso- nance) may occur during operation and adversely affect the robot work. In worst cases the robot might even fall over causing a serious accident. CAUTION If the installation surface accuracy is insufficient, the robot positioning accuracy and machine life may drop, and noise may be generated.
1) Tap or hole is machined into the installation base where the robot is to be secured. Refer to the XY-X Series catalog for the machining dimensions and posi- tions. 2) Fix the installation base at the specified position.
2) When the end effector uses an electrical device which, if it malfunctions, might make contact with the power supply, the user must provide proper grounding on his own responsibility. The XY-X series robots do not have a ground terminal for this purpose.
Chapter 3 Preparing the Robot Connecting the Robot Cables WARNING 1. The robot cable is the most important cable for controlling the robot. If the connector is insufficiently connected and there are pin contact faults, the robot could malfunction. Confirm that each connector is securely connected before turning the controller power ON.
Page 51
Chapter 3 Preparing the Robot WARNING Arrange the connected robot cable so that it will not get in the way of operator’s operations. The operator could trip on the robot cable and be injured. WARNING When connecting the robot cable, insert the robot cable connector straight into the mating connector on the controller.
Chapter 3 Preparing the Robot Connecting with the DRCX controller WARNING When connecting the robot cable, insert the robot cable connector straight into the mating connector on the controller.

Chapter 3 Preparing the Robot Installing the Tool WARNING The user must responsibly determine the bolt type and tightening torque for the tool installation, and must accurately tighten these. Improper in- stallation could cause the tool to dislocate during operation and lead to serious accidents.
Chapter 3 Preparing the Robot User Wiring and User Piping CAUTION Do not clamp the wires or pipes to the outside of the whipover cable. The whipover cable could sag or break and ultimately be disconnected. After completing all work up to step 8, wires and pipes are laid from the user’s devices or robot controller to the tools and valves installed on the robot.
The optimum acceleration and servo gain, etc., are automatically set for the cartesian robot XY-X Series by inputting the controller payload parameters. Set the total value of the tool weight and workpiece weight as a kg unit in the payload parameter.
Chapter 3 Preparing the Robot 10-2 Setting the maximum speed When operating a ball screw driven robot, the ball screw's free length will in- crease as the movement stroke increases, and the resonance frequency will drop. Thus, the ball screw may resonate and generate vigorous vibration depending on the motor rotation speed.
10-3 Setting the acceleration The acceleration is automatically set for the Cartesian robot XY-X Series when the payload parameter is set, so large vibration will not occur during operation. However, if the tool or workpiece is greatly offset from the robot, vibration may occur especially during positioning.
Absolute Reset Refer to this section and set the origin position before using the robot. The Cartesian robot XY-X Series uses an absolute method position detector, and thus return-to-origin is not required when the controller power is turned ON again.
Page 66
Avoid changing the origin position to the non-motor side as the position could deviate, trouble could occur, and could be hazardous in some cases. Always consult with YAMAHA when the origin position must be changed. Refer to the following sections in the Robot Controller Instruction Manual and set the origin.
