Adjustable Hardstop Details
The robot is equipped with mechanical hardstop adjustment points for joint 1 as described in the fol-
lowing sections. Adjust this mechanical hardstop to restrict the robot's range of motion in order to pre-
vent collisions within the workspace if necessary.
WARNING
The robot's physical hardstop devices are not intended to withstand repeated use. If
this occurs, the hardstop may become damaged. Implement proper programming and
configuration of joint range limits to prevent hardstop impacts.
Precautions for Correct Use
Always reduce joint motion limits with software settings in the robot configuration area when
hardstops are used to restrict range of motion. Refer to the
Automated Control Environment
(ACE) Version 4 User's Manual (Cat. No. I633)
for more information.
Additional Information
• Obstacles may be defined with software configuration to restrict the robot tool-tip from enter-
ing specified volumes of the work envelope. Refer to the
Automated Control Environment
(ACE) Version 4 User's Manual (Cat. No. I633)
for more information.
• Refer to
2-1-1 Robot Overall Dimensions
on page 2-2 for full range of motion values.

Joint 1 Adjustable Hardstops
Joint 1 has adjustable hardstops that can be used to physically limit the range of travel. The full, de-
fault range of travel is ±152°.
User-supplied socket head cap screws are inserted into slots that limit the travel in the positive or neg-
ative directions. The slots are located under a cover for Joint 1 as described in the following proce-
dure.
The following Joint 1 motion limits are available.
• ±107°
• ±62°
• ±17°
• +28° or -28°
The following tools and equipment are required for making adjustments to Joint 1 hardstop(s).
• M10 X 1.5 - 14 mm socket head cap screw(s), Class 12.9, alloy steel type.
• Torque wrench.
• 3 mm hex key.
• Loctite thread lock type 243 and 222 or equivalent.
