GX series  Rev.2

 

*1: The exhaust system in the Cleanroom & ESD model Manipulator (

GX8-A***C*)

 draws air from the base 

interior and arm cover interior.     
Connect an exhaust tube to the exhaust port on the back of the base (or bottom of the base).  If the exhaust 
flow is not sufficient, dust particle emission may exceed the specified maximum level. 
Cleanliness level : Class ISO 3 (ISO14644-1) 
Exhaust System  : Exhaust port diameter : Inner diameter: ø12 mm   

Exhaust tube 

: Polyurethane tube   

 

 Outer diameter: ø12 mm (Inner diameter:ø8 mm)   

 

 Recommended exhaust flow rate : approx. 1000 cm

3

/s (Normal) 

ESD  model Manipulator (GX8-A***E*)  uses resin materials with antistatic treatment.  This model 
controls adhesion of dust due to electrification. 

*2:  IP (International Protection) for the Protected-model Manipulator indicates International Standard of the 

protection level against dust and water. 

Model 

Degree of protection 

G

X8-A

***P* 

IP65 

Dust: 6 

No ingress of dust. 

Water: 5 

Water projected by a nozzle against enclosure from any 
direction shall have no harmful effects. 

*3:  In the case of PTP command. 

Maximum operating speed for CP command is 2000 mm/s on horizontal plane. 

*4:  In the case where the center of gravity is at the center of Joint #4. 

If the center of gravity is not at the center of Joint #4, set the parameter using Inertia command. 

*5:  When the product is used in a low temperature environment around the minimum temperature of the product 

specification, or when the product is suspended for a long time on holidays or at night, a collision detection 
error may occur due to the large resistance of the drive unit immediately after the start of operation. In such 
a case, it is recommended to warm up for about 10 minutes. 

*6:  Conditions of Manipulator during measurement as follows: 

Operating conditions  : Under rated load, 4-joints simultaneous motion, maximum speed, and maximum 

acceleration/deceleration. 

Measurement point  : Rear of the Manipulator, 1000 mm apart from the motion range, 50 mm above the 

base-installed surface. 

*7: In general use, Accel setting 100 is the optimum setting that maintains the balance of acceleration and 

vibration when positioning.
