Net F/T Installation and Operation Manual<br />

Document: 9620-05-net ft-11<br />

1. Safety<br />

1.1 General<br />

The customer should verify that the transducer selected is rated for maximum loads and moments<br />

expected during operation. Refer to transducer specifications in F/T Transducer Manual (9620-05-<br />

Transducer Section—Installation and Operation Manual) or contact ATI Industrial Automation for<br />

assistance. Particular attention should be paid to dynamic loads caused by robot acceleration and<br />

deceleration. These forces can be many times the value of static forces in high acceleration or<br />

deceleration situations.<br />

1.2 Explanation of Notifications<br />

The notifications included here are specific to the product(s) covered by this manual. It is expected that<br />

the user heed all notifications from the robot manufacturer and/or the manufacturers of other components<br />

used in the installation.<br />

or<br />

DANGER: Notification of information or instructions that if not followed will result<br />

in death or serious injury. The notification provides information about the nature of<br />

the hazardous situation, the consequences of not avoiding the hazard, and the<br />

method for avoiding the situation.<br />

WARNING: Notification of information or instructions that if not followed could<br />

result in death or serious injury. The notification provides information about the<br />

nature of the hazardous situation, the consequences of not avoiding the hazard,<br />

and the method for avoiding the situation.<br />

CAUTION: Notification of information or instructions that if not followed could<br />

result in moderate injury or will cause damage to equipment. The notification<br />

provides information about the nature of the hazardous situation, the<br />

consequences of not avoiding the hazard, and the method for avoiding the<br />

situation.<br />

ATTENTION, NOTE, or NOTICE: Notification of specific information or instructions about<br />

maintaining, operating, installation, or setup of the product that if not followed could result in<br />

damage to equipment. The notification can emphasize but is not limited to specific grease<br />

types, good operating practices, or maintenance tips.<br />

1.3 Precautions<br />

CAUTION: Do not remove any fasteners or disassemble transducers without a<br />

removable adapter plate, these include Nono, Mini, IP-rated, and some Omega<br />

transducers. This will cause irreparable damage to the transducer and void the<br />

warranty. Leave all fasteners in place and do not disassemble the transducer.<br />

CAUTION: Do not probe any opening in the transducer. Touching internal<br />

electronics or instrumentation could damage the transducer and void the warranty.<br />

CAUTION: Do not exceed the transducer’s overload ratings. Smaller Nano and<br />

Mini transducers can easily be irreparably damaged by apply small loads using<br />

tools (moment arm increases applied loads) when mounting the transducer. Always<br />

monitor the transducer using the demo application for gage saturation errors during<br />

installation.<br />
