The installation environment requirements for Estun collaborative robots need to comprehensively consider equipment performance, safety regulations, and industry application scenarios. The following are specific requirements and analyses:
1. Installation foundation and ground requirements
Ground conditions: It should be placed on a flat and stable ground to avoid vibration or tilting that may affect the accuracy of the mechanical arm. Some models of Estun (such as ER8-720-MI) weigh up to 48 kilograms. If the ground is uneven, it may cause positioning errors.
Protection level: For harsh environments such as metal processing, Estun has developed the IP67 high-protection wrist technology. The joint cover is protected with special paint, which can adapt to high temperatures, noise, smoke and other scenarios, but it is necessary to ensure that the installation environment is free of corrosive gases or liquids.
2. Electrical and power supply requirements
Power supply voltage: It must conform to the rated voltage of the equipment (such as within ±10% fluctuation range) and be reliably grounded. Estun robots are usually equipped with servo motor drive systems. Unstable voltage may cause motor failures.
Cable management: Regularly check if the power cords and communication lines are loose to prevent poor contact from causing overheating or short circuits. Estun provides dedicated power cords and communication cables as accessories, which need to be connected in accordance with the requirements of the manual.
3. Spatial and layout requirements
Scope of work: It is necessary to ensure that the robot's movement trajectory is free of obstacles. For example, the boom span of the ER8-720-MI is 727mm, and a safety operating space of at least 1m×1m should be reserved.
Collaborative workspace: If used in human-machine collaboration scenarios, it is necessary to follow the ISO/TS 15066 standard and set up a security monitoring area. For example, when the "speed and isolation monitoring" method is adopted, the distance between humans and robots needs to be monitored in real time through sensors.
4. Environmental temperature and humidity requirements
Temperature range: Typically 0 to 45℃. Estun robots are designed to adapt to industrial environments, but extreme temperatures (such as below -10℃ or above 50℃) require temperature control measures.
Humidity control: It is recommended to be ≤90% (without condensation). High humidity environments may cause short circuits in electrical components or rust on mechanical parts.
5. Safety and protection requirements
Safety fences and light curtains: Physical isolation or light curtains should be set up to prevent people from mistakenly entering dangerous areas. The Estun robot supports the safety-rated monitored stop function, but it needs to be used in conjunction with external Safety devices.
Emergency stop device: An emergency stop button should be set up in a prominent position in the operation area to ensure that the power supply can be cut off immediately in case of emergency.
6. Special industry requirements
Cleanroom environment: If it is used for electronic assembly or biopharmaceuticals (such as ISO grade 5 cleanrooms), a dust-free design model should be selected and equipped with an air filtration system.
Explosion-proof environment: If used in flammable and explosive places, explosion-proof robots must be selected and meet relevant standards (such as ATEX certification).
