Designated use and prohibition of misuse

Purpose: Fixture/workpiece handling, assembly and transportation, must be used within the environmental parameters specified in the manual.   

Prohibition: Carrying people and animals, climbing pedals; Outdoor, explosion-proof, and radioactive environments; Without the permission of KUKA, drilling/modifying the body directly loses the warranty; It cannot be operated independently and must be integrated into the entire equipment.

Security Chapter

Legal responsibility: Declaration of incorporation attached to the entity; The overall risk assessment, EC conformity declaration, CE marking, and terminal operation manual are the responsibility of the system integrator; All risks associated with unauthorized modification of the main body belong to the user.

Personnel classification: integrators, operators, debugging, maintenance, and cleaning personnel; Deep ontology maintenance is only available to authorized personnel of KUKA.

Area Definition

Workplace: reachable range of robots;

Dangerous area=workspace+parking distance, must be physically protected by fencing/grating; Without physical protection, the EN   ISO   10218 collaborative robot conditions must be fully implemented.

protective device

A1/A2 configuration with mechanical hard limit; After hitting the hard limit, it is necessary to contact KUKA and prohibit further operation;

A3/A4 configuration body brake release button (power off, manually move Z/R axis); A1/A2 requires software Servo Free to release the brake;

Nameplates and warning labels are strictly prohibited from being removed or altered.

Core Security Points

After power failure, the brake fails and there is a risk of the robotic arm falling; Before maintenance, place it in a safe position and increase mechanical support if necessary; Personnel are prohibited from staying under their arms.

The high temperature of the motor operating casing poses a risk of burns; Electric motors/brakes generate electromagnetic fields, and personnel using active implantable devices such as pacemakers must maintain a distance of ≥ 300 mm.

After the teaching pendant is disconnected, its emergency stop fails, and the disconnected teaching pendant must be moved out of the work area; Enable the switch function to be tested at least once every 12 months.

After modifying hardware, software, and parameters, all programs must undergo low-speed testing in T1 mode; The simulation program also requires T1 testing.

Fault handling: Power off, lock and tag, post fault labels; After the fault repair is completed, conduct a full set of safety function verification.

Live parts operation: If emergency stop is not sufficient, the main power switch must be disconnected and the electricity must be checked; After the controller is powered off, the internal high-voltage capacitor still maintains high voltage for several minutes.

Key hardware differences between CS regular version and CR clean version

Project KR23-XX-2 CS Industrial Edition KR23-XX-2 CS-CR Clean Edition

Protection level IP20 IP54, ISO cleanliness level 5

Z-direction travel of 200   mm/450   mm, only 390   mm short travel

Corrugated pipe ordinary structure, clean specialized corrugated pipe structure

Connector WEIPU ordinary series WEIPU WF clean series, with added negative pressure suction port AIR0

The weight of the body is about 59-61.7 kg and about 60.9-64 kg

Axis motion range: A1/A2 ± 140 °; A4 ± 360 ° infinite rotation; The A3 itinerary is differentiated by model.

Project Planning

Base design: The user shall design a steel base with a plate thickness of ≥ 20   mm and an installation surface flatness of ≤ 0.4   mm. The maximum allowable inclination of the base is 5 °; Provide a complete base hole diagram.

Cables and interfaces

X30 motor cable, X31 encoder cable; Optional cable length 3   m/5   m/10   m; WEIPU connector;

Minimum bending radius for fixed installation: motor cables ≥ 55   mm; data cables ≥ 45   mm; separate metal cable trays for motor and data cables to ensure EMC;

Base interface: X40 I/O, X74 Ethernet; Multiple sets of pneumatic interfaces AIR0-AIR3 (CR version AIR0 is negative pressure suction); Arm X41 I/O, X94 Ethernet;

Reserved M4/M6 threaded bracket on the arm for installing user pipelines; Do not directly bind cables to corrugated pipes; High flexibility shielded cables are required.

Accelerated wear condition prompt: Long term temperature limit, dust corrosion, continuous full load, monotonic reciprocating motion, external process force, need to shorten maintenance cycle, necessary consultation with KUKA.

Transportation

Transportation posture (must be strictly implemented): A1=-90 °; A2=-90 °; A3=-100   mm; A4=0 °.

There are two ways of handling: forklift handling of original packaging boxes; Use a dedicated fixed plate and M10 lifting bolt crane for hoisting; The length of the suspension rope is greater than 1500mm.

Dismantle tools and tie cables before lifting; Personnel are prohibited from standing under the robot during the entire lifting process; Avoid shock and vibration.

Startup and Debugging (Ground Installation Process)

User base leveling, tilt ≤ 5 °; Pre installed positioning pin; Vertical lowering of the robot body by the crane;

Tighten the base fixing bolts diagonally to the specified torque;

Wiring: equipotential grounding, motor cables, encoder cables; Perform equipotential continuity testing;

Manual axis movement: A1/A2 releases the brake through the software Servo Free; A3/A4 can be manually moved using the brake release button on the main body; There is a risk of A3 falling when releasing the brake, and the load must be manually lifted.

Complete inspection before power on: mechanical fasteners and cables are not pulled or worn; Change the factory default password; Test run all programs in T1 mode.

Maintenance (a large number of on-site executable maintenance items, emergency stop+power-off, locking and tagging must be carried out before maintenance)

Bolts with a strength of 10.9 or higher must be replaced after loosening and cannot be reused.
