WARNING
When hoisting or lowering the robot with a crane or forklift, move it slowly, and
with great care. When placing the robot on the floor, exercise care to prevent the
installation surface of the robot from striking the floor.
The robot becomes unstable when it is transported with the end effector or
equipment is installed. Make sure to remove the end effector when the robot is
transported. (Except light cargo such as welding torch or wire feeder).
Use the transport equipment only for transportation. Do not use the forklift
pockets to secure the robot.
Before moving the robot by using crane, check and tighten any loose bolts on
the forklift pockets.
Do not pull eyebolts sideways.
Transportation using a crane (Fig. 1.1 (a) to (d))
Fasten the M10 eyebolts to the two points of the robot base and lift the robot by the two slings. In
this case, please intersect and hang two Slings as shown in figure.
CAUTION
When lifting the robot, be careful not to damage motors, connectors, or cables of
the robot by slings.
2)
Transporting the robot with a forklift (Fig. 1.1 (e) to (h))
When transporting a robot with a forklift, use special transport equipment. Transport equipment is
prepared as the option.
