Measurement Methods and Conditions

  • Stop distance is the angle traveled from the moment a stop signal is generated to the moment all manipulator stop operation.

  • Stop time is the time from the moment a stop signal is generated to the moment all manipulator stop operation.

  • Stop distance and stop time data are provided for Joint 1, Joint 2 and Joint 3, which have large travel distances.

  • The movement of an overlapping axis can cause a longer stop distance.

  • Stop distance and stop time data are defined according to KS B ISO 10218-1:2011 Declaration and Certification.

Description

1

Stop Category 0

The stop distance and stop time of Joint 1 (Base), Joint 2 (Shoulder) and Joint 3 (Elbow) are measured at maximum speed, stretch level and load. The axes of Joint 2 and Joint 3 are parallel to each other, so an impact caused by forced stop on one part may cause a slip on the other side. The angle deviation is also measured.

2

Stop Category 1

The stop distance and stop time of Joint 1 (Base) and Joint 2 (Shoulder) are measured at 33%, 66% and 100% of the maximum speed, stretch level and load, respectively. The stop distance and stop time of Joint 3 (elbow) is measured at 33%, 66% and 100% of maximum speed and load. The stretch level during Joint 3 measurement is locked at maximum because of the lower arm length and completely flat wrist.

Measurement Poses and Conditions

Joint 1 measurement is performed with the rotating axis perpendicular to the ground and during horizontal movement.

Joint 2 and Joint 3 measurements are performed with the rotating axis parallel to the ground and when the robot is stopped in a downward movement vertical to the ground.

Note

The measurements are the result of the worst case. Measurement may vary according to circumstances
