of work cycles at low speed, programmed cycle testing at low speed and, when allowed,
at working speed.
Functioning in Auto / Remote Mode

Operating mode in which the Robot autonomously executes the programmed cycle at
work speed, with the operators outside the protected area, with the protection barriers
closed and included in the safety circuit, with local (located outside the protected area)
or remote start/stop.
Maintenance and Repair

Maintenance and repair are activities that involve periodical checking and / or
replacement of Robot and Control System (mechanical, electrical, software) parts or
components, and trouble shooting, that ends when the Robot and Control System has
been reset to its original project functional conditions.

Decommissioning and Dismantling

Decommissioning defines the activities involved in the mechanical and electrical
removal of the Robot and Control System from a production unit or from an environment
in which it was under study.
Dismantling consists of the demolition and dismantling of the components that make up
the Robot and Control System.
Integrator
The integrator is the professional expert responsible for the Robot and Control System
installation and startup.
Misuse
Misuse is defined as the use of the system outside the limits specified in the Technical
Documentation.
Action Area
The Robot action area is the enveloping volume of the area occupied by the Robot and
its equipment during movement in the area.
1.2.3 Applicability
These requirements must be applied when carrying out the following activities:
Robot axes brake release
Decommissioning and Dismantling.
10
1.2.4 Operating modes

The startup is only possible when the Robot and Control System has been correctly
and completely installed.
The system installation and startup is exclusively the task of the authorised
personnel.
The system installation and startup is only permitted exclusively inside a protected
area of an adequate size to house the Robot and the equipment it is outfitted with,
without passing beyond the protection barriers. It is also necessary to check that in
normal Robot movement conditions there is no collision with parts inside the
protected area ( e.g structural columns, power supply lines, etc.) or with the
barriers. If necessary, limit the Robot work area using mechanical hard stop (see
optional units).
Any fixed Robot control stations must be located outside the protected area and in
a point such as to permit a full view of the Robot movements.
The Robot installation area must be as free as possible from materials that could
impede or limit the visibility.
During installation the Robot and the Control Unit must be handled as described in
the product Technical Documentation; if lifting is necessary, check that the
eye-bolts are fixed securely and use only adequate slings and equipment.
Fix the Robot to mount holder, with all the provided bolts and pins, tightened to the
tightening torque indicated in the product Technical Documentation.
If present, remove the fixing brackets of the axes and verify the proper fixing of the
equipment the Robot is outfitted with.
Check that the Robot guards are correctly fixed and that there are no moving or
loose parts. Check that the Control Unit components are intact.
Install the Control Unit outside the protected area: the Control Unit should not be
used as part of the fencing.
Check that the voltage value of the power mains is consistent with that indicated
on the nameplate of the Control Unit.
Before electrically connect the Control Unit, check that the circuit breaker on the
power mains is locked in open position.
Connection between the Control Unit and the three-phase supply mains at the
works, is to be with a four-pole (3 phases + earth) armoured cable dimensioned
appropriately for the power installed on the Control Unit. See the product Technical
Documentation.
The power supply cable is to enter the Control Unit through the specific cable entry
and be properly clamped.
Connect the ground cable (PE) then connect the power conductors to the main
switch.
Connect the power supply cable, first connecting the ground cable to the circuit
breaker on the power mains line, after checking with a tester that the circuit breaker
terminals are not powered. It is recommended to connect the cable armouring to
the earth.
11
Connect the signals and power cables between the Control Unit and the Robot.
Connect the Robot to earth or to the Control Unit or to a nearby earth socket.
Check that the Control Unit door (or doors) is/are locked with the key.
A wrong connection of the connectors may cause permanent damage to the
Control Unit components.
The Control Unit manages internally the main safety interlocks (gates, enabling
push-buttons, etc.). Connect the Control Unit safety interlocks to the line safety
circuits, taking care to connect them as required by the Safety Standards. The
safety of the interlock signals coming from the transfer line (emergency stop, gates
safety devices etc.) i.e. the realisation of correct and safe circuits, is the
responsibility of the Robot and Control System integrator.
In the cell/line emergency stop circuit it is necessary to include the contacts of the
Control Unit emergency stop push-buttons, available on X30. The push-buttons are not
interlocked inside the emergency stop circuit of the Control Unit.
The safety of the system cannot be guaranteed in case of interlocks erroneous,

incomplete or missing execution.
The safety circuit executes a controlled stop (IEC 60204-1 , class 1 stop) for the
safety inputs Auto Stop/ General Stop and Emergency Stop. The controlled stop is
only active in Automatic mode; in Programming mode the power is disabled
immediately. The procedure for the selection of the controlled stop time (that can
be set on SDM module) is indicated in the Transport and Installation Handbook of
the Control Unit.
When preparing protection barriers, especially light curtains and access doors,
take into consideration the Robot stopping times and distances according to the
stop category (0 or 1) and the weight of the Robot.
Check that the controlled stop time is consistent with the type of Robot connected to the
Control Unit. The stop time is selected using selector switches SW1 and SW2 on the
SDM module.
Check that the environmental and operating conditions do not exceed the limits
specified in the Technical Documentation of the specific product.
The calibration operations must be carried out with great care, as indicated in the
Technical Documentation of the specific product, and should be concluded by
checking the correct position of the machine.
12
To load or update the system software (for example after replacing boards), use
only the original software handed over by COMAU Robotics. Scrupulously follow
the system software loading procedure described in the Technical Documentation
supplied with the specific product. After loading, always make some Robot moving
tests at low speed remaining outside the protected area.
Check that the barriers of the protected area are correctly positioned.

The programming of the Robot is exclusively the task of the authorized personnel.
Before starting to program, the operator must check the Robotic system (Robot
and Control Unit) to make sure that there are no potentially dangerous irregular
conditions, and that there is nobody inside the protected area.
The programming should be controlled from outside the protected area whenever
possible.
Before operating inside the Protected Area, the operator must make sure from
outside that all the necessary protections and safety devices are present and in
working order, and especially that the Teach Pendant is working properly (low
speed, emergency stop device, enabling device, etc.).
During the programming phases, only the operator with the Teach Pendant is
allowed inside the Protected Area.
If the presence of a second operator in the working area is necessary when
checking the program, this person must have an enabling device interlocked with
the safety devices.
Activation of the motors (DRIVE ON) always must be controlled from a position
outside the operating range of the Robot, after checking that there is nobody in the
area involved. The Drive On operation is considered complete when the relevant
machine status indication is shown.
When programming, the operator must remain at an appropriate distance from the
Robot to be able to avoid any irregular machine movements, and in any case in a
suitable position to avoid the risk of being trapped between the Robot and
structural parts (columns, barriers, etc.), or between movable parts of the Robot.
When programming, the operator must avoid to remain in a position where parts of
the Robot, pulled by gravity, could move downwards, upwards or sideways (when
installed on a inclined plane).
Testing a programmed cycle at working speed with the operator inside the
protected area, in some situations where a close visual check is necessary, is only
to be carried out after a complete test cycle at low speed has been carried out. The
test must be controlled from a safe distance.
Special attention is to be paid when programming using the Teach Pendant: in this
situation, although all the hardware and software safety devices are active, the
Robot movement depends on the operator.
During the first running of a new program, the Robot may move along a path that
is not the one expected.
The modification of program steps (such as moving by a step from one point to
another of the flow, wrong recording of a step, modification of the Robot position
out of the path that links two steps of the program), could give rise to movements
not envisaged by the operator when testing the program.
13
In both cases operate cautiously, always remaining out of the Robot range of action
and test the cycle at low speed.

The activation of the automatic operation (AUTO and REMOTE states) is permitted
only with the Robotic system (Robot and Control Unit) integrated inside an area
with protection barriers properly interlocked, as required by the Safety Standards
currently in force in the Country where the installation takes place.
Before starting the automatic mode the operator must check the Robot and Control
System and the protected area to make sure there are no potentially dangerous
irregular conditions.
The operator can activate automatic operation only after having checked:
that the Robot and Control System is not in maintenance or repair status;
that the protection barriers are correctly positioned;
that there is nobody inside the protected area;
that the Control Unit doors are closed and locked with the appropriate key;
that the safety devices (emergency stop, protection barrier safety devices)
are functioning;
Special attention is to be paid when selecting the remote mode, in which the line
PLC can perform automatic operations of motors power up and program starting.
Robot axes brake release

In absence of motive power, the Robot axes repositioning is possible by means of
optional brake release devices and suitable lifting devices. Such devices only allow
the brake deactivation of each axis. In this case, all the system safety devices
(including the emergency stop and the enabling push-button) are disabled; also the
Robot axes can move upwards or downwards because of the forces generated by
the balancing system or by the gravity force.
Before using the manual brake release devices, it is recommended to sling the Robot,
or hook it to an overhead travelling crane.
The use of brake releasing device may cause the axes falling due to gravity, as well
as possible impacts due to an incorrect reset, after applying the brake releasing
module. The procedure for the correct usage of the brake releasing device (both
for the integrated one and module one) is to be found in the maintenance

When after the interruption of an unfinished MOVE the motion is enabled again, the
typical function of trajectory recuperation may generate unpredictable paths that
may imply the risk of impact. This same condition arises at the next restart of the
automatic cycle. Avoid moving the Robot in positions that are distant from the ones
required for the motion restarting; alternatively disable the outstanding MOVE
programmes and/or instructions.

At the COMAU works all Robots are lubricated using products that do not contain
any harmful substances. However, in some cases, repeated and prolonged
exposure to such products may cause irritation of the skin and they may be harmful
if swallowed.
First Aid Measures. In case of contact with the eyes or skin: rinse the affected
areas with copious amounts of water; should irritation persist, seek medical advice.
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting or administer anything by mouth; consult a
doctor as soon as possible.
Maintenance, trouble-shooting and repair are only to be carried out by authorised
personnel.
When carrying out maintenance and repair operations, the specific warning sign
stating the maintenance status must be placed on the control panel of the Control
Unit, until the end of the operation, even if it should be temporarily suspended.
Maintenance and components or Control Unit replacement operations must be
carried out with the main switch in open position and locked with a padlock.
Even if the Control Unit is not powered (main switch open), there may be
interconnected voltages deriving from connection to peripheral units or external
power sources (e.g. 24 Vdc input/output). Power off the external sources when
operating on involved system parts.
Removal of panels, protection shields, grids, etc. is only allowed with the main
switch open and padlocked.
Faulty components are to be replaced with others having the same Part number,
or equivalent components defined by COMAU Robotics.
After replacement of the SDM module, check on the new module that the setting of the
stop time on selector switches SW1 and SW2 is consistent with the type of Robot
connected to the Control Unit.
Trouble-shooting and maintenance activities must be carried out, whenever

possible, outside the protected area.
Trouble-shooting executed on the control is to be carried out, whenever possible
without power supply.
Should it be necessary, during trouble-shooting, to intervene with the Control Unit
powered, all the precautions specified by Safety Standards must be observed
when operating in presence of dangerous voltages.
Trouble-shooting on the Robot must be carried out with the power supply turned
off (DRIVE OFF).
At the end of the maintenance and trouble-shooting operations, all the deactivated
safeties must be reset (panels, protection shields, interlocks, etc.).
15
Maintenance, repair and trouble-shooting operations must be concluded with the

check of the correct functioning of the Robotic system (Robot and Control Unit) and
all the safety devices, executed from outside the protected area.
When loading the software (for example after replacing electronic boards) the
original software handed over by COMAU Robotics is to be used. Scrupulously
follow the system software loading procedure described in the specific product
Technical Documentation; after loading, to be sure, always run a test cycle,
remaining outside the protected area
Disassembly of Robot components (e.g. motors, balancing cylinders, etc.) may
cause uncontrolled movements of the axes in any direction: before starting a
disassembly procedure, consult the warning plates applied on the Robot and the
Technical Documentation supplied.
It is strictly forbidden to remove the protective covering of the Robot springs.
Decommissioning and Dismantling

The decommissioning and removal of the Robot and Control System is exclusively
the task of Authorised Personnel.
Move the Robot in transport position and assemble the axes locking brackets
(when required) following the instructions on the plate on the Robot and its
Technical Documents.
Before decommissioning initiation, the mains voltage at the Control Unit inlet must
be powered off (switch off the circuit breaker on the power mains and lock it in open
position).
After using the specific instrument to check there is no voltage on the terminals,
disconnect the power supply cable from the circuit breaker on the power mains,
first disconnecting the power conductors, then the earth one. Disconnect the power
supply cable from the Control Unit and remove it.
First disconnect the connection cables between the Robot and the Control Unit,
then the ground cable.
If present, disconnect the Robot pneumatic system from the air distribution mains.
Check that the Robot is properly balanced and if necessary sling it correctly, then
remove the Robot securing bolts from the mount holder.
Remove the Robot and Control Unit from the work area, following all the
requirements indicated in the products Technical Documents; if lifting is necessary,
check the eyebolts proper fixing and use only suitable slinging devices and
equipment.
Before starting dismantling operations (disassembly, demolition and disposal) of
the Robot and Control System components, contact COMAU Robotics & Service,
or one of its branches, who will indicate, according to the type of Robot and Control
Unit, the operating methods in accordance with safety principles and safeguarding
the environment.
The waste disposal operations are to be carried out complying with the legislation
of the country where the Robot and Control System is installed.

5.2.3 Determination of the max loads to the wrist flange (QF)

The max load applicable to the flange is defined using the load graphs of load at wrist
where the maximum loading curves QF are traced depending on the coordinates LZ and
LY of the load barycentre.
The area defined by the loading curves defines the barycentre distances admitted for
load application specified on the area itself.
In the following Fig. 5.4 is shown the diagram of Maximum load capacity to the Robot
flange Racer 999 Plus.
The inertia specified in the graph curves refers to the centre of gravity of the load applied
on the flange.
When applying loads different from the values specified in the graphs, check the use
restrictions by means of the SMART Payload software function.

6.1 Description of the Robot mechanics
Degrees of freedom
The Robot is an anthropomorphic type with 6 degrees of freedom.
Robot configuration
A- Base
B- Column
C- Arm
D- Wrist
E- Flange
The fixed Robot base is anchored to a supporting structure (fixing plate or supporting
structure).
On the fixed Robot base, a column rotates with vertical rotating axis (axis 1); the column
supports the axis 2 motorizations.
One arm connects axis 2 to the wrist and includes the gear motors of the axes 3 and 4.
At the front end of the wrist there is the flange tool connection.
Inside the wrist are integrated gear motors for the axes 5 and 6.
35
FURTHER INFORMATION
Robot axes motors

The Robot has got 6 axes, each one is controlled by a motor gear (detail on par. 2.2
Robot Axes Identification on pag. 14).
The motors are of AC type brushless and integrate inside them the brake and the
encoder.
The gearboxes are of the type with reduced clearance specific for robotic applications.
Robot Axes Stroke Restriction (Areas Restrictions)

Robot axes are provided with software limit switches (programmable).
In addition (optional) Robots can be provided with mechanical limit switches.
For all details on options useful for safety areas sectoring, see the par. 8.3 Solutions to
integrate the Robot in production cells on pag. 74.
6.2 Calibration principles

There are two calibration modes:
precision calibration: is carried out by means of use a specific tool that is the same
for all the axes and all models, it must be carried out after special maintenance
activity causing the decomposition of the kinematic chain between motor and
Robot axis or in case operation cycle requiring high precision are needed.
the calibration on reference notches: allows a quick calibration but improper and
scarce in precision that can not recover the Robot motion precision required in the
specific application. Calibration by means of reference notches consists in
positioning the Robot axes on the calibration notches aligning them precisely
without using any special tools and carry out the calibration of one axis at a time.

8.3 Solutions to integrate the Robot in production cells

To guarantee the safety minimum requirements in case of Robot fitting in production
cells, it is possible to limit Axes 1 and 2 stroke, depending on the cell structure and the
specific production needs.
The axis stroke limitation allows to avoid interferences with other machine parts and
assure a safe area, usually the one where the operator works, during the motion
trajectories of the Robot working cycle.
It is possible to install on the Robot different options to sector its axes in safety areas,
as shown in the following table.
Choose the most suitable solution considering the Modes and stopping distance of the
Robot (see par. 8.4 on pag. 82).

8.3.1 Axis 1 Adjustable Mechanical Limit Switch Unit

(CR82226900)
Purpose
The adjustable mechanical limit switch of axis 1 limits the stroke of axis 1 in both work
directions in steps of 15.

The Robot is equipped with a stop buffer to be fixed using the screws provided, in the
seats on the Robot column to limit the stroke of axis 1 in one direction only. If is
necessary limit the stroke in both directions, we will use a second buffer stop installable
as an option.
The axis 1 adjustable mechanical limit switch unit meets "man safety" requirements
since it is able to absorb all the axis kinetic energy.
Once the stop has been used (impact), the following parts must be replaced:
stopping buffer and fixing screws;
rubber dowel on Robot base and fixing screws.
Verify the integrity of the Robot parts involved in the impact, for example:
column in the fastening zone of the assembly;
the base in the fixing areas of the rubber blocks;
The equipment moved by the Robot.
In case of crush, failure in replacement replace any damaged parts will undermine
correct operation (and thus stopping) in future.

8.4 Modes and stopping distance of the Robot
8.4.1 Stopping Modes

The Control Unit manages the Robot. Through line signals (typically given on X30
connector) it is possible to command the emergency stop, which operates in different
ways according to the following modes:
Local automatic mode (AUTO)
The stop is made in category 1 (one) according to the standard EN 60204-1, with
most effective and rapid accelerating ramp.
When the Robot is completely stopped, the parking brakes are automatically
inserted.
Programming (T1) mode
the stop is performed in category 0 (zero) according to the EN 60204-1 standard,
with the accelerating ramp almost null.
The parking brakes are immediately and automatically inserted.
8.4.2 Stopping time

The Control Unit is provided with a timer on the C5G-SDM module, active only in Local
Automatic mode (AUTO) and with selectable times. When the time is over, the enabling
on axes is removed.
The timer, even though with time that can be selected, does not influences on stopping
time (which always result the most rapid as possible), according to the Stopping Modes
(see par. 8.4.1 on pag. 82).
Consider the following minimum aspects:
With stop in Local Automatic mode (AUTO), stopping time are variable, according
to the Robot model, proportional to the inertia generated by the Robot speed and
the wrist load
With Programming mode stop (T1), time is almost null for the maximum limit speed
of 250 mm/s at wrist.
The selected time on the C5G-SDM module must be coherent both to the Robot
family and the featuring file loaded on the Control Unit. Any differences prevent the
Robot starting.
Assess carefully the stopping time set on the C5G-SDM module and adjust
consequently the installation of the fixed and movable guards of the machine.
The topic is widely discussed in the instructions handbook Transport and
Installation" of the Control Unit.
The stop in category 0 (zero) given with Robot in automatic mode with high speed
generates drift risks of the motion because of lack of trajectory control. Moreover the
Robot mechanics is solicited and can loose its efficiency.
82
8.4.3 Stopping distances

The Robot requires stopping time depending on the model, proportional to the inertia
generates by the Robot speed and the wrist load.
Consider the following minimum aspects:
In local Automatic mode stop (AUTO), the stopping distances are variable.
In Programming mode stop (T1), the distances are almost null for the maximum
limit speed of 250 mm/s at wrist.
Assess carefully the stopping distances and adequate consequently the
installation of the fixed and movable guards of the machine.
In order to reduce the Robot operating area, several suitable options are available
(see par. 8.3 Solutions to integrate the Robot in production cells on pag. 74).
