SAFETY result in shortage bearing oil film and shorten the service life of joint. To avoid shortening the service life of joint, please move the joint over 50 degrees for about 5 to 10 times per day (10) Joint #3: if arm moving distance of up and down is shorter than 10mm, please move the joint over half of the maximum motion range for about 50 times per day (11) When the robot is operating at a low speed (about 5~20% of rated speed), continuous vibration (or sympathetic vibration) may occur as the direction of arm and end effector load.

SETTING OF END EFFECTOR 3. SETTING OF END EFFECTORS 3.1. Attaching an End Effector Users are responsible for making their own end effector(s). Before attaching an end effector, observe these guidelines. If you use an end effector equipped with a gripper or chuck, connect wires and/or pneumatic tubes properly so that the gripper does not release the work piece when the power to the robot system is turned OFF.
SETTING OF END EFFECTOR because of the outer diameter of the end effector, the size of the work piece, or the position of the arms. When designing your system layout, pay attention to the interference area of the end effector. 3.2.

CALIBRATION 6. CALIBRATION 6.1. Introduction Calibration associates the angle of each robot axis with the pulse count value supplied from the absolute Pulsecoder connected to the corresponding axis motor. To be specific, calibration is an operation for obtaining the pulse count value, corresponding to the home position. Calibration is factory-performed.
