MAINTENANCE MANUAL Cautions on Maintenance and Inspection When performing inspection or maintenance of the robot, strictly observe the following precautions to protect yourself and coworkers. DANGER • Be sure to remove the power plug of the controller from the power source before approaching the robot for maintenance and inspection.
MAINTENANCE MANUAL Clamping Hexagon Socket Head Cap Screws and Set screws This robot uses hexagon socket head cap screws at places requiring mechanical strength. At the time of factory-assembly, Loctite is applied and each screw is tightened with the following clamping torque. When these screws and set screws are tightened again according to the inspection and maintenance as stipulated in this manual, use a torque wrench or torque driver, and Loctite (medium strength) to assure the appropriate clamping torque.
If a fault has occurred or if repair is necessary, turn off the controller power and contact the Toshiba Machine Service Department. At this time, advise us of the details of the fault and the following information stated on the robot and controller.
1.6.3 Modification The robot and controller MUST NOT be modified or disassembled without a prior consent from Toshiba Machine.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL Robot Home Point and Position Detector Error Setting Robot Home Point Before delivery from our plant, home point setting is performed for the robot after its arm is secured with clamp for home point setting. At the time of home point setting, position data of the motor position detector (i.e., encoder) is backed up by batteries, and coordinates of the robot need not be set each time the power is connected.
Page 245
MAINTENANCE MANUAL The position detector error is an error detected by the encoder itself. Even if the data in the parameter file is lost (or changed) to change the home point coordinates of the robot, for instance, a position detector error will not occur. If the machine coordinates have changed without causing a position detector error, the mechanical connecting position of the servo motor and mechanical unit shifted or the data in the parameter file described above was changed.
