SAFETY

FANUC is not and does not represent itself as an expert in safety systems,
safety equipment, or the specific safety aspects of your company and/or
its work force. It is the responsibility of the owner, employer, or user to
take all necessary steps to guarantee the safety of all personnel in the
workplace.
The appropriate level of safety for your application and installation can
best be determined by safety system professionals. FANUC therefore,
recommends that each customer consult with such professionals in order
to provide a workplace that allows for the safe application, use, and
operation of FANUC systems.
Additionally, as the owner, employer, or user of a robotic system, it is your
responsibility to arrange for the training of the operator of a robot system
to recognize and respond to known hazards associated with your robotic
system and to be aware of the recommended operating procedures for
your particular application and robot installation.
FANUC therefore, recommends that all personnel who intend to operate,
program, repair, or otherwise use the robotics system be trained in an
approved FANUC training course and become familiar with the proper
operation of the system. Persons responsible for programming the
system-including the design, implementation, and debugging of
application programs-must be familiar with the recommended
programming procedures for your application and robot installation.
The following guidelines are provided to emphasize the importance of
safety in the workplace.

IMPORTANT!
Before operating, servicing or in any other way handling the
robot, the “FANUC Robot SAFETY HANDBOOK (B–80687EN)”
must be thoroughly studied.

4 Apply new grease from the grease inlet until it comes out

5 Remount the seal bolt at the grease outlet. (For mounting the
seal bolt, coil a new seal tape.)
6 Remount the full cover (option) to the robot where applicable
(see Section 6.5).

NOTE
If greasing is performed incorrectly, the internal pressure of the
grease bath may suddenly increase, possibly causing damage
to the seal, which would in turn lead to grease leakage and
abnormal operation. When performing greasing, therefore,
observe the following cautions.
1 Before starting to grease, open the grease outlet (remove
the bolt from the grease outlet).
2 Supply grease slowly without applying excessive force,
using a manual pump.
3 Whenever possible, avoid using a compressed–air pump,
powered by the factory air supply. If the use of a
compressed air pump is unavoidable, restrict the maximum
greasing rate to 15 cm3/s and the greasing pressure to 7.4
MPa (75 kgf/cm2).
4 Use grease only of the specified type. Grease of a type other
than that specified may damage the reducer or lead to other
problems.
5 After greasing, confirm that no grease is leaking from the
grease outlet and that the grease bath is not pressurized,
then close the grease outlet.
6 To prevent accidents caused by slipping, completely
remove any excess grease from the floor or robot.

3.2 Supply grease to the parts periodically. If the robot is installed in a severe
environment, apply grease whenever necessary. If water splashes on the
GREASING robot, apply grease immediately. Table 3.2(a) shows greasing points.
Table 3.2 (b) shows substitute greases.
After greasing, slowly make some 20 full–stroke (660 to 1091 mm)
reciprocating motions of the ball screw, so that the grease is applied to the
entire ball screw. If full–stroke motions are impossible, remove the
bellows and the pipe for the bellows, then directly apply grease to the
stroke portion of the ball screw.

Each part of the mechanical unit is carefully adjusted at the factory before
shipment. Therefore it is usually unnecessary for the customer to make
adjustments at the time of delivery. However, after for a long period of use

5.1 Mastering is an operation performed to associate the angle of each robot


axis with the pulse count value supplied from the absolute pulse coder
MASTERING connected to the corresponding axis motor. To be specific, mastering is
an operation for obtaining the pulse count value corresponding to the zero
position.

5.1.1 The current position of the robot is determined according to the pulse
General count value supplied from the pulse coder on each axis.
Mastering is factory–performed. It is unnecessary to perform mastering
in daily operations. However, mastering becomes necessary after:
D Motor replacement.
D Pulse coder replacement.
D Cable replacement.
D Batteries for pulse count backup in the mechanical unit have gone dead.

NOTE
Robot data (including mastering data) and pulse coder data
are backed up by their respective backup batteries. Data will
be lost if the batteries go dead. Replace the batteries in the
control and mechanical units periodically. An alarm will be
issued to warn the user of a low battery voltage.

Mastering method Table 5.1.1 Types of Mastering


Jig position mastering In the F–200iB, this function is not used.
Zero-position master- A marking is provided for each axis of the robot. Master-
ing (eye mark mas- ing is performed by moving the robot to the marking
tering) positions on all axes. In the F–200iB, marking is per-
formed at the position of 668 mm on all axes.
Simplified mastering This is performed at a user–specified position. The cor-
responding count value is obtained from the rotation
speed of the pulse coder connected to the relevant
motor and the rotation angle within one rotation. Simpli-
fied mastering uses the fact that the absolute value of
a rotation angle within one rotation will not be lost.
One-axis mastering This is performed for one axis at a time. The mastering
position for each axis can be specified by the user. It is
effective for mastering for a specific axis only. In the
F–200iB, this function is used for mastering by the use
of a fixture.
Mastering data entry Mastering data is entered directly.

Once mastering is performed, it is necessary to carry out positioning, or


calibration. Positioning is an operation in which the control unit reads the
current pulse count value to sense the current position of the robot.

NOTE
If mastering is performed incorrectly, the robot may behave
unexpectedly. This is very dangerous. So, the positioning
screen is designed to appear only when the
$MASTER_ENB system variable is 1 or 2. After performing
positioning, press F5 [DONE] on the positioning screen.
The $MASTER_ENB system variable is reset to 0
automatically, thus hiding the positioning screen.

B–81725EN/01 MAINTENANCE 8. REPLACING CABLE

8.2 This section describes a procedure for periodically replacing all the
mechanical unit cables.
CABLE If you need to replace a specific cable (because, for example, it is
REPLACEMENT damaged), do so by referencing this section. See Section 7.1 for the
configuration of the mechanical unit cables.
Cable replacement makes it necessary to perform mastering. Before
attempting replacement, therefore, see Section 5.1.
The F–200iB has much wiring in its space. Before removing the cables,
therefore, check how the cables run, with the robot at a posture with a
length of 668 mm on all axes, by taking a picture or by other means.
Procedure for replacing
cables K201 and K202
Removal
1 Remove the full cover (option) from the robot where applicable
(see Section 6.5).
2 Set the robot to a posture with a length of 668 mm on all axes and
turn off the power to the control unit.
3 Remove the control unit cable from the connector panel located
at the rear of the robot.
4 Remove the connectors from the motor.
5 Remove the nylon bands secured to the plates (plates 1, 2, and 3)
of the gearbox for each axis.
6 Remove the nylon band secured to the plate (cable clamp 2) of the
baseplate.
7 Remove the nylon band secured to the plate (cable clamp 1) of the
baseplate.
8 Remove the connector panel cover, and remove the grounding
cable and the housing from the connector panel. For K202, also
remove the EE connector and the battery connector.
Assembly
1 Mount new cables to the connector panel as shown in Fig. 8.2 (c).
2 Connect the cables as shown in Fig. 8.2 (a). Secure each cable to
the corresponding plate of the baseplate at the marking position with
a nylon band. Secure the cables for all axes to cable clamp 1 and
the cables for the J1–, J2–, J5–, and J6–axes to cable clamp 2.
3 Secure each cable to the corresponding plate (plate 1, 2, or 3) of the
gearbox for each axis at the marking position with a nylon band.
4 Mount the connectors to the motor.
5 Mount the control unit cable to the connector panel.
6 Perform simple mastering.
7 Remount the full cover (option) to the robot where applicable (see
Section 6.5).

59
8. REPLACING CABLE MAINTENANCE B–81725EN/01

NOTE
Run each cable with great care so that its movable part
does not come in contact with the casting of the baseplate
and the gearbox. After connection, check the cables during
operation because, even if the movable part does not come
in contact while the robot is stationary, it may come in
contact during operation depending on the operating
posture.
In particular, the play portions on the J2– and J5–axes (See
Fig. 8.2 (a)) must be formed upward so that they not come
in contact with the baseplate.
