Specifications: The robots feature a beltless structure for enhanced durability and reduced maintenance, conforming to IP65 protection standards for dust and water resistance. They include a vertical bellows structure for improved clean performance and high rigidity due to the ZR-axis direct coupling structure.
Protection Standards: Equipped with seals at joints to maintain dust-proof and drip-proof performance without air purging, the robots adhere to IP65 standards, protecting against water jets and particle dust.
Model Variants: Various models are listed, categorized by size and type, each with specific arm lengths, payload capacities, and cycle times.
Ordering Information: Detailed ordering methods are provided, including options for Z-axis stroke, tool flange, hollow shaft, cable length, and controller type.
Procedures: Instructions cover programming, I/O point tracing, remote command operations, and RS-232C communication, emphasizing the importance of not attaching wires or tubes to self-supporting cables to maintain positioning accuracy.
Standards and Recommendations: Compliance with safety standards is mentioned, with options for expansion I/O, network options, and gripper batteries. The use of J.S.T. Mfg Co., Ltd. SM connectors and the YC12 crimping tool for user wiring is highlighted.
Key Data from Tables and Diagrams: Tables provide detailed specifications for each axis, including arm lengths, rotation angles, and motor outputs. Diagrams illustrate the working envelope, user tool installation range, and connector details, advising on maintaining space for maintenance work and avoiding certain motions to prevent contact with the base.
Critical Information: Important notes include registered trademarks of Harmonic Drive Systems Inc., limits to acceleration coefficient settings, and the ability to limit movement ranges by adjusting mechanical stoppers. Users are directed to download detailed manuals from the Yamaha Motor website for further information.

YK-TW Orbit type POINT 1 Layout design freedom High quality User: We want a high precision assembly system. YK-TW offers a repeated positioning accuracy of ±0.01 mm Note 1 (XY axes). Featuring a ceiling-mount configuration with a wide arm rotation angle, the YK-TW can access any point within the full ф 1000 mm downward range. This eliminates all motion-related restrictions with regard to pallet and conveyor placement operations, while dramatically reducing the equipment footprint. Higher repeated positioning accuracy than that offered by a parallel-link robot. This was accomplished by optimizing...

Easy installation Reduce the number of steps User: Parallel-link robots require large frames which complicates installation… User: Preparing the frame is extra work. We can optionally provide a dedicated frame for the YK-TW. Orbit type YK-TW has a total height of only 392 mm, and weighs only 27 kg Note 2. With no need for complex calculations of strength, startup steps can be reduced. Lower inertia = Lighter frame Weighs only 27 kg Extra small type Note.

Resolver is used for position detector. As the resolver uses a simple and rigid structure without using electronic components and optical elements, it features high environment resistance and low failure ratio. Detection problems due to electronic component breakdown, dew condensation on or oil sticking to the disk that may occur in optical encoders do not occur in the resolver due to its structure. Additionally, as the absolute specifications and incremental specifications use the same mechanical specifications and common controller, the specifications can be changed only by setting parameters....
