Before using the robot (Be sure to read the following notes.) At this time, our thanks for your purchase of this YAMAHA YK-X series SCARA robot. (1) Please be sure to perform the following tasks before using the robot. Note that the robot may operate abnormally (abnormal vibration or noise) if the following work is not carried out. Before the YK-X Series is shipped, the position shown in "Chapter 7, 1-2 Exter- nal view and dimensions" is adjusted as the origin position, and the standard coordina

(2) Caution when turning off the robot controller On the YK120X and YK180X series robots, the harness exerts a large reaction force on the X and Y axis arms. When the power to the robot controller is turned off, the arm positions might move slightly due to the harness reaction force, depending on where the arms are positioned. If the arms moved a large distance in this case, the correct position data may not be backed up. To avoid this, before turning off the power to the robot controller, press

Introduction The YAMAHA YK120X and YK180 series robots are SCARA type industrial robots developed based on years of YAMAHA experience and achievements in the automation field as well as efforts to streamline our in-house manufacturing systems. The SCARA robots have a two-joint manipulator consisting of an X-axis arm and a Y-axis arm, and are further equipped with a vertical axis (Z-axis) and a rotating axis (R-axis) at the tip of the manipulator. The YK120X and YK180 series robots can be used fo

Clean Room Models YK120XC, YK150XC Compared to standard YX120X and YK150X, clean room models differ in the following points. 1. Robot parameter has been changed. (See section 4 in chapter 2.) The Z-axis speed is lowered to maintain the degree of cleanliness and the bellows durability. (This is preset prior to shipment.) 2. Suction couplers have been added. (See section 6 in chapter 3.) For the suction amount versus degree of cleanliness, see "1-1 Basic specifications" in chapter 7. For the locat

CHAPTER 1 Using the Robot Safely (10)Use caution on Z-axis movement when air supply is stopped. (2- axis robots with air-driven Z-axis) WARNING The Z-axis may suddenly drop when the air pressure to the Z-axis air cylinder solenoid valve is reduced, creating a hazardous situation. Turn off the controller and place a prop or support under the Z-axis before cutting off the air supply. (11) Use the following caution items when disassembling or replac- ing the pneumatic equipment.
