C12 Manipulator 4. End Effectors
The moment M (Nm) and inertia moment I (kgm
+ work piece) is small can be obtained by the following formula.
M (Nm) = m(kg) × L (m) × g (m/s
I (kgm
m : Weight of load (kg)
L : Eccentric quantity of load (m)
g : Gravitational acceleration (m/s
The figure below shows distribution of the center of gravity when the volume of the load
(end effector + work piece) is small.
Design the end effector so that the center of gravity is within the allowable moment.
If the volume of the load is large, calculate the moment and inertia moment by referring to
"4.3.2 INERTIA setting" - "Calculating the Inertia Moment".

When calculating the critical dimension of the load using the allowable moment and inertia
moment, the calculated value represents a distance from the Arm #6 rotation center, not the
distance from the flange. To calculate the distance from the flange to the load's center of
gravity, subtract the distance from the center of the Arm #5 rotation center to the flange (=80
mm) as shown in the example below.
