Setup & Operation 4. Setting of End Effectors
Eccentric Quantity and the Inertia Setting
CAUTION
■ The eccentric quantity of load (weight of the end effector and work piece) must be
150 mm or less. The G3 series Manipulators are not designed to work with
eccentric quantity exceeding 150 mm.
Always set the eccentric quantity parameter according to the eccentric quantity.
Setting a value that is smaller than the actual eccentric quantity may cause
errors, excessive shock, insufficient function of the Manipulator, and/or shorten
the life cycle of parts/mechanisms.
The acceptable eccentric quantity of load in G3 series is 0 mm at the default rating and
150 mm at the maximum. When the eccentric quantity of load exceeds the rating, change
the setting of eccentric quantity parameter of Inertia command. After the setting is
changed, the maximum acceleration/deceleration speed of the Manipulator at PTP motion
corresponding to the “eccentric quantity” is set automatically.

The eccentric quantity of load (weight of the end effector and work piece) on the shaft can
be set by “eccentric quantity” parameter of Inertia command.
