Moving the Robot
When you have opened the LSM access door, you might need to move the
robot to make it easier to gain access to the stored cartridges or to the attached
cartridge drives.
Read and observe the following caution and warning notices before attempting
to move any portion of the robot.
CAUTION:
ROBOT COMPONENT DAMAGE.
• Body oils can corrode shiny polished surfaces or lubricated parts.
DO NOT TOUCH POLISHED SURFACES OR LUBRICATED PARTS.
• ONLY MOVE HAND AND THETA ASSEMBLY AS SHOWN (SEE
Figure 3-13 on page 3-21 THROUGH Figure 3-15 on page 3-23).
• DO NOT FORCE HAND AND THETA ASSEMBLIES.
If the hand or theta assemblies do not move freely, contact Customer
Support Services.
• If the LSM goes offline due to an EPO or power failure, the reach
mechanism might be extended into a storage cell or transport. If the
robot is moved vertically or horizontally when this condition exists,
the hand assembly will be seriously damaged. MAKE SURE THE
REACH MECHANISM IS FULLY RETRACTED TO HOME POSITION
BEFORE MOVING ANY ROBOT PART.
WARNING:
BODILY INJURY.
• KEEP HANDS OFF EXPOSED ELECTRICAL PARTS WHEN MOVING
ANY PART OF ROBOT.
• DO NOT MOVE HAND ASSEMBLY BY GRASPING THE COUNTER-
WEIGHT ASSEMBLY. The moving components have pinch-points
that can injure fingers or hands.
• DO NOT PLACE HAND/FINGERS ON COUNTERWEIGHT ASSEMBLY
TRACKS WHEN MOVING ASSEMBLY. A severe pinch-point exists
between the counterweight assembly and the tracks it moves on that
can injure fingers or hands.
