Yamaha YK120X, YK180X owner manual 12Cautions for removing Z-axis brake or Z-axis motor

CHAPTER 1 Using the Robot Safely

(10)Use caution on Z-axis movement when air supply is stopped. (2- axis robots with air-driven Z-axis)

WARNING

The Z-axis may suddenly drop when the air pressure to the Z-axis air cylinder solenoid valve is reduced, creating a hazardous situation.

Turn off the controller and place a prop or support under the Z-axis before cutting off the air supply.

(11)Use the following caution items when disassembling or replac- ing the pneumatic equipment.

WARNING

Air or parts may fly outwards if pneumatic equipment is disassembled or parts replaced while air is still supplied.

•Do service work after first turning off the controller and reducing the air pres- sure.

•Before reducing the air pressure, place a support stand under the Z-axis (2- axis robots with air driven Z-axis) since it will drop under its own weight.

(12)Cautions for removing Z-axis brake or Z-axis motor

WARNING

The Z-axis can drop and cause a hazard when the Z-axis brake or Z-axis motor is removed.

•Turn off the controller and set a support stand under the Z-axis before re- moving the motor.

•Use caution not to allow hands or body to be squeezed or crushed by moving parts on the Z-axis or between the Z-axis and the installation base.

WARNING

•When you need to touch the terminals or connectors on the outside of the controller during inspection, always first turn off the controller power switch and also the power source in order to prevent possible electrical shock.
