4.3.2 Inertia Setting
Moment of Inertia and the Inertia Setting
The moment of inertia is defined as "the ratio of the torque applied to a rigid body and its
resistance to motion". This value is typically referred to as "the moment of inertia",
"inertia", or "GD
end effector) attached to the shaft, the moment of inertia of load must be considered.
■ The moment of inertia of the load (weight of the end effector and work piece)
must be 0.05 kgm
work with a moment of inertia exceeding 0.05 kgm
Always set the moment of inertia parameter to the correct moment of inertia.
Setting a value that is smaller than the actual moment of inertia may cause

errors, excessive shock, insufficient function of the Manipulator, and/or shorten
the life cycle of parts/mechanisms.
The acceptable moment of inertia of load for a G3 series Manipulator is 0.005 kgm
default rating and 0.05 kgm
exceeds the rating, change the setting of the moment of inertia parameter of the Inertia
command. After the setting is changed, the maximum acceleration/deceleration speed of
Joint #4 at PTP motion corresponding to the "moment of inertia" value is set
automatically.
Moment of inertia of load on the shaft
The moment of inertia of load (weight of the end effector and work piece) on the shaft can
be set by the "moment of inertia" parameter of the Inertia command.
