Before using this robot, read the following notes and set the origin position. The N15/N18 single-axis robots use absolute position detectors that do not require returnto-origin after turning on the controller power. However, when the controller power is turned on in the following cases, return-to-origin must be performed just the very first time. (1) When robot cable was first connected after delivery from YAMAHA. (2) When robot cable was disconnected from the controller and then reconnected. (3) When no absolute battery is connected. (4) When a motor or cable was replaced. At this point, any of the following errors is issued immediately after controller power is turned on, but this is not a malfunction. The controller will operate normally by restarting. When using an SR1 controller: 15 : FEEDBACK ERROR 2 23 : ABS.BAT.L-VOLTAGE 24 : ABS.DATA.ERROR … etc. When using an RCX240, RCX222 controller: 17.81 : D?.ABS.battery wire breakage 17.92 : D?.Resolver disconnected during power off 17.93 : D?.Position backup counter overflow … etc. When using an TS-X controller: 82 ENCODER ERROR 83 ABS. ENCODER ERR. 8A ABS. BATTERY ERR. 8B ABS. COUNT ERROR 8D ABS. OVERFLOW ERR. … etc. Before using the N15/N18 single-axis robots (Be sure to read the following notes.)

If the object or workpiece gripped by the robot might fly outward or drop and create a hazard to the operator, then protective equipment should be installed by taking the size, weight, temperature and chemical properties of the object into account. (23) Draw up "work instructions" and makes sure the operator learns them well. Decide on "work instructions" for the following items in cases where personnel must work within the robot movement range to perform teaching, maintenance or inspection. Make sure the workers know these "work instructions" well. (1) Robot operating procedures needed for tasks such as startup procedures and handling switches (2) Robot speeds used during tasks such as teaching (3) Methods for workers to signal each other when two or more workers perform tasks (4) Steps that the worker should take when a problem or emergency occurs (5) Steps to take after the robot has come to a stop when the emergency stop device was triggered, including checks for cancelling the problem or error state and safety checks in order to restart the robot. (6) In cases other than above, the following actions should be taken as needed to prevent hazardous situations due to sudden or unexpected robot operation or faulty robot operation, as listed below. 1. Show a display on the operator panel 1-8 1-3 Industrial robot operating and maintenance personnel 2. Ensure the safety of workers performing tasks within the robot movement range 3. Clearly specify position and posture during work Position and posture where worker can constantly check robot movements and immediately move to avoid trouble if an error/problem occurs 5. Use methods for signaling operators of related equipment 6. Use methods to decide that an error has occurred and identify the type of error Implement the "work instructions" according to the type of robot, installation location, and type of work task. When drawing up the "work instructions", make an effort to include opinions from the workers involved, equipment manufacture's technicians, and workplace safety consultants, etc. (24) Display a sign on operation panel during work Display an easy to understand sign or message on the programming box, Handy Terminal, and operation panel during the job task, to prevent anyone other than the operators for that job task from mistakenly operating a start or selector switch. If needed, take other measures such as locking the cover on the operation panel. (25) Make daily and periodic inspections. (1) Always make sure that daily and periodic inspections are performed, and make a pre-work check to ensure there are no problems with the robot or related equipment. If a problem or abnormality is found, then promptly repair it or take other measures as necessary. (2) When you make periodic inspections or repairs, make a record and store it for at least 3 years. 1-3 Industrial robot operating and maintenance personnel Operators or persons who handle the robot such as for teaching, programming, movement check, inspection, adjustment, and repair must receive appropriate training and also have the skills needed to perform the job correctly and safely. They must read the user's manual carefully to understand its contents before attempting the robot operation.

When return-to-origin is performed, a difference in distance occurs between the position where the origin signal is detected and the point at which the next “0” pulse is received. This is called the machine reference and is usually expressed as a percent, with 100% being equal to 1/4th of one turn of the motor. (See the figure below.) The machine reference value must be within the allowable range (25 to 75%) to maintain axis movement repeatability. To check the machine reference value, an optional programming unit (HPB or MPB) is needed. The machine reference value is displayed on the LCD screen of the programming unit when return-to-origin is complete. (See the figure below.) NOTE The N15/N18 robots use an absolute type position detector. There is no need to perform return-to-origin each time the robot controller is turned on and readjust the machine reference value. If for some reason the machine reference adjustment becomes necessary, please contact YAMAHA sales office or dealer.

If this is not observed, premature end to the life of the drive units, damage to the robot parts or residual vibration during positioning may result. Usually the R axis load is not a simple form, and the calculation of the moment of inertia is not easy. As a method, the load is replaced with several factors that resemble a simple form for which the moment of inertia can be calculated. The total of the moment of inertia for these factors is then obtained. The objects and equations often used for the calculation of the moment of inertia are shown below. 1.
