Instalation - uninstallation robot
The assembly of the robot is to be made in accordance with the robot's documentation and should enable all inspection and service activities provided for in the robot manufacturer's documentation, such as replacement of lubricants and calibration.
The robot is to be delivered with a set of technical drawings of the mounted tool. These drawings are to contain data needed to control the robot. Dimensions of the Cartesian tool layout, moments of inertia, total weight, and the center of gravity of the tool. Static calculations should be provided in the period preceding the selection of the robot to the installation for verification.
A robot that is in contact with factors such as adhesives, paints, silicone, emulsions, etc. must be allowed by the robot manufacturer to contact these factors. If it is not admitted, it should be secured with appropriate covers, eg courtains. If the Robot works in wet conditions, it should be equipped with a pneumatic air sealing system.
For all robots in the wet environment version, the sealing air must be connected in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The blocking air should be active at the control voltage ON of the master. Monitoring the sealing air with a pressure switch is mandatory. If the blocking air is no longer maintained, a warning message should be programmed on the machine's control panel. After switching off the control voltage, the off of the sealing air should be programmed with a time delay of the coasting until the conditions harmful to the robot at the place of installation disappear.
The mounting (resting) place of the robot's panel should be located at the operator's station panel. The panel should be protected from external factors (water, oil, etc.) and damage to the robot's panel wire.
Verification of robot assembly
After starting the machine, the manufacturer has in the presence of an employee of the final recipient along with the robot's manufacturer, measure the currents, speeds of the robot's drives and the moments occurring on the robot's drives during the robot's program. Such a course is to be forwarded to the service in the form of a protocol.
The operator panel is to have the appropriate length of the connecting cable to the robot controller, so that the operator or service can make adjustments at the robot's assembly site or the areas in which the robot performs the process.
If the documentation of the robot requires performing appropriate courses (movements) while performing service activities, the robot and the machine should have such a program run from the operator's station panel. Example - distribution of lubricant after replacement according to Documentation in FANUC robots.
Replacing the robot and controller should be easy and save time. It should be possible to use a crane or a forklift.
