Be sure to use the bolts of adequate length and P.C.D. to mount the tool.

Be sure to screw the M10 end effecter fixing bolts in the wrist not deeper than the screw
depth in the mounting face. Screwing the bolts deeper than the screw depth may damage
CAUTION the wrist.

Working envelope of tool should be outside of this area,
otherwise tool may be broken by the interference with A-Trac4

Chapter 2 Setting
Normally software setting is completed before shipment, so no additional setting is required to
customer. But if A-Trac4 is mounted after shipment, mechanism type needs to be registered.

2.1 Conforming the mechanism type

At first, please confirm the mechanism type.

1 Press ｆ key <Service Utilities> -> [13 System Version].

≫ Following screen will appear.

If “+A” is displayed at the last of mechanism name, proper mechanism type on which A-
Trac4 is mounted is selected. (Best software limit and servo parameters are already
registered.)
If “+A” is not displayed, mechanism type needs to be registered (changed). Please
proceed with “2.2 Registering the mechanism type”.

2.2 Registering the mechanism type

For this operation, the operator needs to have the SPECIALIST or above qualification.
This operation must be done at the beginning of robot usage, because all of application
parameters such as servo gun parameters are initialized when formatted.

1 Pres ｆ key <Constant Setting> -> [12 Format and Configuration] -> [1 Format].
≫ Following dialog will appear.

2 Align cursor to [OK] and press [Enter].

≫ Following screen will appear.

3 Press [1] and [Enter].

≫ Following screen will appear.

2-1
4 Choose the mechanism whose last character is “+A” from the list displayed on
the right side of screen, as the manipulator mechanism (mechanism 1 in
following sample), and press [Enter].

Sample when “SRA166-01+A” is selected as mechanism 1;

5 Continue other mechanism setting such as servo gun and travel unit, and then
finally press f12 <Complete>.
≫ Following procedure is same as that of normal robot.

2-2
Chapter 3 Inspection
To perform daily inspection, repair, or part replacement of the robot, be sure to turn OFF
the power supply. Furthermore, in order to prevent other workers from improperly turning
WARNING ON the power supply, post the warning signs such as “DON’T POWER ON” at the primary
power supply switch and others.
