1.1 Safe Use of the Robot System


Before installation, operation, maintenance and inspection, read this manual and other attached documents
thoroughly to fully understand the knowledge of each equipment, safety information and all the notices.
In this instruction manual, following signs respectively show the importance of the contents.

If handling the robot in a wrong way, an user may die or get severely injured.
Besides, in the case of the exigencies of alarming in a danger situation (a level of
DANGER urgency) is quite high, which is a limitative occasion.

If handling the robot in a wrong way, an user may die or get severely injured.
WARNING

If handling the robot in a wrong way, an user may get slightly injured or only the
property damage may occur.
CAUTION

Additionally, the following mark is used in this manual for a special important notice.

This is a notice especially to take the utmost care.

Notes on safe adjustment, operation and maintenance


(1) An operator must wear a working uniform, a helmet, a pair of safety shoes etc.
(2) Before turning the power ON, check that no operator is inside the robot work area.
(3) Before operating in the robot work area, check that the power is OFF.
(4) There may be a case that an operator has to perform the inspection, maintenance and other
operations with the power ON. In this case, be sure to perform at least by two persons in a pair so
that one person can keep the position for pressing the emergency stop button anytime. And the
other, performs the required operation quickly with carefully watching the robot work area and its
motion.
Besides, make sure that the evacuation route is clear before operation.

A robot is enabled to safely stop with the self diagnostic function and the error detection function in the event
of the error. However, accidents cannot be perfectly avoided.
Here are some examples of the possible robot accident.

・An operator performed Automatic operation without making sure that no


one was inside the robot work area.
・A robot suddenly started moving after entering the robot work area still in
Automatic operation mode.
・An operator only concentrated in the robot only under his/her nose but not
another one.

Points in common among the accidents above are ;

・Safety procedures were neglected.


・A robot performed an abrupt motion even though it seemed all right.

1-1
1.1 Safe Use of the Robot System

In short, these accidents are all resulted from human errors such as careless mistake, failure of following
the instructions etc. For these kinds of “abrupt happenings”, an operator cannot evade the accidents by
performing Emergency stop, running away etc. This will highly possibly result in a serious accident.

Here are some cases.

・ The speed of robot motion changed from low to high.


・ Other personnel carelessly operated.
・ A robot moved by the wrong program because of the abnormal action of peripheral equipment or the
program error.
・ Abnormal motion because of the noise, trouble, fault etc.
・ Mis-operation
・ A robot moved at a high speed even though intended at low speed.
・ Workpiece being transported by a robot dropped and flew in directions.
・ A robot was on standby waiting for the interlock, however the interlocking was released and the robot
suddenly moved.
・ The robot adjacent to or at the rear started its operation.

There will be more of “abrupt happenings” patterned accidents. In most practical situations, it is impossible to
stop the robot that has once started moving or to run away from it.
Therefore, thoroughly understand and follow the notices below to avoid those accidents.

Do not approach to the robot. If the robot abruptly moved, and the personnel is
touched or caught, then a death or serious accident will occur.
DANGER

When the robot is not supposed to move, it must not be enabled. If the robot
abruptly moved, and the personnel is touched or caught, then a serious accident
DANGER will occur.

When the robot should move, appoint a monitor to always monitor the safety. If
the robot abruptly moved, and the personnel is touched or caught, then a death or
DANGER serious accident will occur.

When the robot should move, always be ready to press the emergency stop button
while you work.
If the robot abruptly moved, and the personnel is touched or caught, then a death
DANGER or serious accident will occur.

1.1.1 Safety Measures on Robot

The robot must be designed and manufactured with suitable material and structure for its use
environment, containing no unnecessary protrusions or sharp edges. Also, it has provided with the
fail-safe function with no damage or accident occurs during operation.
Besides, the robot should maintain a good level of safety with functions as follows.
・Function to detect the incorrect motion and stop the robot
・Emergency stop function
・Interlocking function to prevent the dangerous situation caused by robot in the abnormal
action of peripheral equipment

1-2
1.1 Safe Use of the Robot System

The robot is of multi-articular structure, which allows each articulation always to form a
variety of angles depending on the robot motion.
Take great care especially in teaching so that you won’t get pinched in the articulations.
WARNING
(Note : Mechanical stoppers are provided at the end of movable range of articulation,
which is highly dangerous to be pinched in.)
Besides, the arm may fall by its own weight or move in unexpected directions if motors
are removed or the brakes are released. Be sure to take measures to prevent it from
falling and check that the surrounding is in a safe condition before you start operating.

The arm may fall if removing the motor without properly holding it.
Be sure to properly hold it before removing the motor.

WARNING

If removing the motor without The arm will drop.


properly holding the arm…,

For securing the arm, do not rely on the positioning pin only since it may be inserted in a
wrong way or only a half way. Use a wooden block, a sling or other items to hold the
arm securely before removing the motor. However, do NOT support the arm by
human hands.

A balance spring device is internally compressed under the normal condition.


Therefore, do NOT remove or disassemble it. It is a hazardous act.
CAUTION

To fabricate the end effector and equipment on the arm, use designated bolts; desired
size and number and tighten them with a torque wrench by a specified torque.
Besides, be sure to use clean and rust-free bolts, otherwise, the bolts will be
CAUTION loosened to result in a serious accident with an incorrect way.

To fabricate the end effector, set the weight and the static load moment within the range
of the allowable moment and of inertia on wrist axis of the robot.
CAUTION

Provide a fail-safe mechanism to ensure that the workpiece will be held even if when
the power or air supply to the end effector is shut off.
Be sure to sharp edges or protrusions so that the damage to either personnel or object
CAUTION can be avoided.

1.1 Safe Use of the Robot System

Supply the electric power, plant air and welding cooling water to drive the robot,
following specifications. Failure to follow the specifications will cause problems;
affecting the robot performance, and causing the abnormal behavior or trouble.
CAUTION Be sure to follow the specifications.

As for the electromagnetic disturbance, there are no measures to completely cut it with
the technology today, no matter the kind or the strength of the electromagnetic wave.
Follow the notes for applying the power during robot operation.
CAUTION With the electromagnetic wave, other noises or the defective board, recorded programs
may be sometimes erased.
As a safeguard, back up programs or constants in a compact flash card or other storage
media.

1.1 Safe Use of the Robot System

1.1.2 Safety Measures on Teaching and Inspection

Robot must be operated by only those who have taken the specified training and are
fully aware of safety and functions of robots. If unskilled personnel operated the robot,
accidents may occur due to mishandling of the robot.
CAUTION

When entering the robot work area with Motors ON, the emergency stop button must be
within reach of operators. In addition, be sure to position the monitor outside the robot
work area, being ready to immediately press the emergency stop button.
CAUTION Then, an emergency stop can be immediately made in the event of the abnormality.

Wear protective equipment such as a helmet or safety shoes when operating the
robot or the robot work area.
WARNING

When you enter the robot work area, carry the key SW, for switching the robot
operation to Automatic, and the safety plug with you, so that nobody may accidentally
WARNING start Automatic operation resulting in serious accident.

Display a sign “Teaching Under Way” on each operation panel so that other workers
are enabled aware of that the teaching operation is under way.
WARNING Otherwise, they may start Automatic operation, resulting in serious or fatal accidents.

When a number of operators are engaged in the teaching operation, the one with the
teach pendant must give orders to other operators to follow. If more than one
personnel give different orders at the same time, each operator will perform wrong
CAUTION operation, maybe causing accidents.

When a number of operators are engaged in the teaching operation in the large robot
system, be sure to establish how to communicate exactly in a distance such as by
gesture. Accidents may occur due to poor communication among operators because
CAUTION of noises around.

Operators must be provided with the escape route to immediately escape in an


emergency.
CAUTION

Always watch out the robot motion, performing the operation facing the front.
Do not work with your back toward the robot. because the operator may not notice
WARNING the start of robot motion.
1.1 Safe Use of the Robot System

Press the emergency stop button immediately if you notice anything abnormal.
Please make this action thoroughly known to every operator. Otherwise you may be
in imminent danger of the abrupt robot motion if you are just watching something
WARNING abnormal.

Prepare an appropriate working prescription and checklist for startup, the way of
operation and the actions to be taken in an emergency of robot according to its
installation location and working condition. Then, follow the working prescription to
CAUTION operate the robot. If not, but operating by the operator’s memory and knowledge only,
accidents may occur due to the wrong idea or the mistakes.

If the robot motion is not necessary, turn OFF the power before operating.
Then, the robot will not even accidentally work.
CAUTION

Check the program No. and the step No. before teaching. Editing the wrong
program or step No. will sometimes cause accidents.
CAUTION

Protect the completed programs by such as the memory protect function so that no
operators will edit afterwards by mistake. (AX controller is equipped with the memory
protect function forbidding the editing performance by each program or constant file.)
CAUTION

After completing the teaching operation, check the robot motion at low speed using the
check go/ back function and the velocity override function. If operating the robot
at a full speed in the playback mode without this check, a program error or other errors
CAUTION may possibly cause collision.

After completing the teaching operation, clean up the area within the safety fence and
check that anything is not left as tolls. A workplace foul with oil and grease or with
scattered tools will sometimes cause the accidents; falling down, slipping on them.
CAUTION Neatness is the first step for safety.

7
1.1 Safe Use of the Robot System

1.1.3 Safety Measures on Test Operation


In the taught program, jigs, sequence etc., some design-originated errors, teaching errors or
manufacturing errors may be contained. Therefore, when performing the test run, more careful
actions must be taken for safety. See below for some points.

At first, perform the motion check on all the buttons and the signals; emergency stop
button and other stop buttons essential to halt the robot motion. Then, perform it on
the error detecting –related functions. Confirming the ability of robot halt is the
WARNING first priority.
Unless otherwise the robot can come to a halt in emergency situations, serious
accidents are never preventable.

Before the test run, perform the motion check at low speed (approx. 5%~10%), using
the velocity override function. Repeat this check 2 to 3 cycles and correct the errors
immediately, if found.
Then, gradually increase speed (50%→70%→100%) and repeat the motion check
respectively 2 to 3 cycles.
CAUTION Operating the robot at high speed from the beginning will cause accidents since the
robot cannot immediately stop even if teaching errors are found.

Never perform the motion check within the safety fence since unexpected
happenings may occur during the test run. At the stage of test run, unpredictable
DANGER errors may occur due to low reliability, mostly resulting in the accidents.

1.1 Safe Use of the Robot System

1.1.4 Safety Measures on Automatic Operation

At the beginning and end of the work, clean up the workplace and keep everything
neat If the workplace is foul or messy, operators may fall down.
CAUTION

At the beginning of a day, ensure to perform the specified daily inspection following
the checklist so that the errors can be found to prevent the accidents in advance.
(Refer to the MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION MANUAL for daily inspection items.
CAUTION Also, create a checklist on yourself based on this information for a thorough inspection.)

Display ”OFF LIMITS” sign at every entrance of the safety fence to keep operators
away from the fence even if the robot is not in motion.
CAUTION

Be sure there is no one within the safety fence before starting Automatic operation.
Accidents caused by neglecting this check is the most typical type of accidents.
DANGER

Before Automatic operation, confirm that the condition is ready for Automatic
operation including the program No., step No., mode and startup select.
If starting without noticing the wrong program or step is selected, robot may perform
CAUTION unpredictably and result in an accident.

Before Automatic operation, be sure that the robot is in a position to start Automatic
operation. Check both the program No. and the step No. match the robot position.
sIf not, the robot will abnormally behave to result in an accident.
CAUTION

Before startup, make sure the emergency stop button can be immediately pressed.
This is essential when unexpected robot movement occurred.
CAUTION

Operators must be always familiarized with motion path, operating condition,


running noise of the robot so that abnormalities can be immediately observed.
Since the robot will sometime shows signs before the failure, be fully aware of the
CAUTION normal condition to detect these signs in advance.

Make an emergency stop immediately if any abnormalities are observed. And,


report it to superiors or the personnel in charge of maintenance to take proper actions.
Rush attitude “Robot is moving anyway. That’ll be fine.” may cause not only a halt in
WARNING production by the trouble but also a serious injury to personnel.

9
1.1 Safe Use of the Robot System

When performing the motion check after the measures taken to the initial failure, be sure
that the failure has completely remedied. Do not operate the robot if somebody is
WARNING inside the safety fence, until this was confirmed, even at low speed.
Since this is still under the low reliable condition, another related errors may occur.

10
1.1 Safe Use of the Robot System

1.1.5 Relocation, Transfer and Sale of Robot

Hand over all the manuals including maintenance manuals and other related
documents to a new owner when relocating, transferring and selling the robot.
Particularly when this action is to be done overseas, the original user is responsible for
preparing and supplying all the documents in their languages, revising the display
CAUTION
languages, applying to their local legislation and others. If you fail to complete this
process, the new owner may operate the robot without the proper information, resulting
in accidents.

When the robot is relocated or transferred overseas and sold in either domestic or
overseas, the initial contractual terms on sale are not transferred to the new owner
including the safety related items unless otherwise special agreement has been
CAUTION concluded.
The original user and the new owner must conclude a new agreement on their own.

1.1.6 Disposition of Robot

Do not disassemble, heat or burn batteries already used for the robot and robot
controller. They may ignite, explode or burn.
CAUTION

Do not disassemble the robot controller into smaller than PCBs or units. It may burst or
you may be injured with a sharp edge or electric wires.
CAUTION

Do not disassemble the wire harness and the robot external wirings into further smaller
than disconnecting from connectors or terminal blocks.
Semiconductors and other pieces may cause injury to your hands or eyes.
CAUTION

Take the utmost care when scrapping robots to avoid accidents such as pinching your

2.3 Function of Component

~ Motion sequence of welding power supply I/F ~

Welding power supply I/F outputs a signal to the welding power supply by the timing as shown below, using the
setting of system parameters and the commands such as Arc start/ end or wire inching given from the robot
controller.

Information in the table below is only an example of motion sequence of the welding power supply I/F. The
actual motion may differ depending on the type of welding power supply to be used and the setting details of
system parameters.

1. If coupling the welding power supply and the robot both from DAIHEN, the default setting of wire slow down,
hot start voltage and hot start time are all set in advance to the optimum values for each welding power
supply.
For this reason, these parameters cannot be changed on the robot side.

2. If coupling the welding power supply from other companies and our robot, wire slow down, hot start voltage
and hot start time can be even specified on the robot side.

Chapter 6 Error Code

This chapter describes the symptom and its measures on the error code of
AX-C robot controller.
6.1 When fault has occurred

6.1 When fault has occurred


When fault has occurred in the robot, the fault monitor starts, and the details of the fault (name of its category,
date/ time of its occurrence, description and remedial action) are displayed on the teach pendant.




① Fault category The name of the fault category appears here.

② Fault code and cause The fault code and cause appear here.
The fault code is expressed in alphanumerics. In the example of the
screen shown above, “A2101” is the fault code.
③ Details and remedial action The details of the fault and the remedial action to be taken appear
here. Use the remedial action displayed here as a reference, and
eliminate the cause of the fault.
④ Release method The method used to release the fault display appears here. When
all the contents of ③ and ④ do not appear in the display area,
scroll the screen using [up or down].
⑤ Number of fault incidents The figure on the right indicates the number of fault incidents which
have occurred simultaneously. Only one fault incident is displayed
on the screen at one time. To view other types of trouble, press
[ENABLE] and [up or down].
⑥ Date/time of occurrence The date and time of the fault occurrence appear here.

⑦ f12 <Failure Reset> Press this to release the fault display. The fault display can also be
released by pressing [RESET/R] twice.

6.2 Concerning the fault details

6.2 Concerning the fault details

6.2.1 Fault category


The fault categories which are displayed at ① on the previous page are established to enable
where the fault has occurred to be pinpointed to some extent.

Table 6.2.1 Fault category


Fault category Main fault
Emergency stop fault Emergency stop triggered by input from overrun, shock sensor, etc.
Fault detected by monitoring of control systems such as magnet
Control sequence fault
switches and circuit protectors, etc.
CPU board failure Watchdog timer detection or other CPU board-related fault occurrence
Servo fault Fault detected by servo driver
Amplifier unit fault Fault detected by amplifier unit
Encoder fault Encoder-related fault
Teach pendant fault Fault detected by teach pendant
PLC fault Fault detected by PLC
User fault Fault defined by the operator
Operation fault Fault caused by error in operation made by operator
Spot welding fault Fault inherent to “spot welding function” (but not included above)
Arc welding fault Fault inherent to “arc welding function” (but not included above)

6.2.2 Concerning criticality codes and fault codes

The fault codes displayed at ② on the previous page are expressed using the following format.

[Example] Control sequence fault code E1103

E 1 1 0 3
(A) (B)

(A) Criticality codes


The fault detected by the robot is classified into three types by their level of criticality.

Table 6.2.2 Criticality codes


Type of fault Details
E (errors) Fault caused by parts failure or internal data fault which prohibits
continued operation until the cause of the fault is eliminated, and fault
which may potentially injure the operator or damage the robot system if
operation is continued are classified as errors.
A (alarms) Fault which may lead to an error at a future point in time, fault which
must be remedied now or fault requiring simple operations, checks
and/or remedial action before robot operation or movements are
continued even though it may not potentially injure the operator or
damage the robot system are classified as alarms.
I (Information) Fault requiring that the operator and ambient devices be informed of
the occurrence of irregularities even though they will not interfere with
continued robot operations or movements is classified as information.
Information may sometimes be conveyed not when fault has occurred
but when the robot is operating normally.

(B) Fault codes


These are 4-digit numbers used to identify fault. (See the following pages.)

Note1) The number and type of external axes depend on your peripheral jig equipment. When you order, be
sure to select the suitable one for your system.

Note2) If the combination of external axes in your system is not in the example above, contact our sales
engineer.

Note3) By extending the additional external axis unit, the maximum of 48 external axes can be extended (total of
54 axes).

Note4) The duration of the absolute encoder battery is approx. 3 years with the power OFF. This may be even
shorter depending on the ambient temperature, the use condition etc.
After this duration period, be sure to perform “Absolute offset setting” and replace the battery.

Note5) The rating of the primary power indicated here is only of the external axis unit. The rating of the total
robot system is the addition of this value and the rating of robot controller.
Remember this note when performing the power construction.
