The Motoman HP6 and NX100 controller represent state-of-the-art technology in robotics
today. The Motoman HP6 is a high speed robot with a 6 kg payload. It has six individual axes:
Sweep, Lower arm, Upper arm, Rotate, Bend, and Twist. The NX100 controller coodinates the
operation of the HP6 robot with external equipment such as power supply and positioning
tables. The NX100 processes input and output signals, maintains variable data, and performs
numeric processing to convert to and from different coordinate systems. Furthermore, it
provides main logic functions, servo control, program and constant data memory, and power
distribution. Please read this manual thoroughly to familiarize yourself with the many aspects
of the HP6 robot and NX100 controller.

The allowable wrist load is 6kg. If force is applied to the wrist instead of the load, force on R-,
B-, and T-Axes should be within the value shown in " Table. 5 Moment and Total Inertia ".
Contact your Yaskawa representative for further information or assistance.
*1 ( ): Gravitational unit
When the volume load is small, refer to the moment arm rating shown in "Fig. 12 Moment Arm
Rating".
The allowable total inertia is calculated when the moment is at the maximum. Contact your
Yaskawa representative when only inertia moment, or load moment is small and inertia
moment is large. Also, when the load mass is combined with an outside force, contact your
Yaskawa representative in advance.

WARNING
• Before maintenance or inspection, be sure to turn the main power sup-
ply off, and put up a warning sign. (ex. DO NOT TURN THE POWER ON.)
CAUTION
• Maintenance and inspection must be performed by specified personnel.
Failure to observe this caution may result in the loss of home position data.
Proper inspections are essential not only to assure that the mechanism will be able to function
for a long period, but also to prevent malfunctions and assure safe operation. Inspection
intervals are displayed in six levels. Conduct periodical inspections according to the
inspection schedule in " Table. 7 Inspection Items ".
In " Table. 7 Inspection Items ", the inspection items are classified into three types of
operation: operations which can be performed by personnel authorized by the user,
operations which can be performed by personnel being trained, and operations which can be
performed by service company personnel. Only specified personnel are to do inspection work.
• The inspection interval must be based on the servo power supply on time.
NOTE • These inspections were developed for applications where the manipulator is used for arc
welding work. For any different or special applications, the inspection process should be
developed on an case-by-case basis.
For axes which are used very frequently (in handling applications, etc.), it is recom-
mended that inspections be conducted at shorter Intervals. Contact your Yaskawa repre-
sentative.

*1 When checking for conduction with multimeter, connect the battery to “BAT” and “OBT” of connectors on the
motor side for each axis, and then remove connectors on detector side for each axis from the motor. Other-
wise, the home position may be lost. (Refer to " 9.2.9 Notes for Maintenance ")
*2 Wire harness in manipulator to be replaced at 24000H inspection.
*3 For the grease, refer to " Table. 8 Inspection Parts and Grease Used ".
*4 Inspection No. correspond to the numbers in " Fig. 24 Inspection Parts and Inspection Numbers ".
*5 The occurrence of a grease leakage indicates the possibility that grease has seeped into the motor. This can
cause a motor breakdown. Contact your Yaskawa representative.
The numbers in the above table correspond to the numbers in " Table. 7 Inspection Items ".

Note: The home position of the manipulator takes the B-axis folded to a 90 degree
downward position to the manipulators illustrated in "Fig. 25 Inspection Parts and
Inspection Numbers".
The manipulators illustrated in "Fig. 25" are not in the home position since the B-axes
are extended horizontal to the ground.
