TRANSPORTATION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL
!CAUTION
• Always read through the Safety Manual provided separately before starting
actual work to ensure safety work covering from the robot installation to
operation.
[Installation and transportation]
Always observe the following items to safely use the robot.
!DANGER
Prohibited
• DO NOT install or operate if any parts are damaged or
missing.
Doing so could lead to electric shocks, fires or faults.
• DO NOT install the robot where it may be subject to fluids
such as water. Doing so could lead to electric shocks, fires or
faults.
• Do not place the robot near combustible matters. Doing so
could lead to fires if the matter ignites due to a fault, etc.
Mandatory
• Always secure the robot with the attached clamps before
transporting it. Failure to do so could lead to injuries if the
arm moves when the robot is suspended.
• Wire the robot after installation.
Wiring the robot before installation could lead to electric
shocks or injuries.
• Always use the power voltage and power capacity designated
by Toshiba Machine. Failure to do so could lead to device
faults or fires.
• Always use the designated power cable. Using a cable other
than that designated could lead to fires or faults.
Always
ground
• Completely connect the grounding cable. Failure to do so
could lead to electric shocks or fires if a fault or fault current
occurs. Noise could lead to malfunction.
Also, it could cause mis-operation by noise.

TRANSPORTATION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL
!CAUTION
Prohibited
• NEVER lift the robot by the arm 2 cover or arm 2. Doing so
will apply an excessive force on the robot's mechanism section
and could lead to faults.
• For the controller, secure the ample space for air vent.
Heating of controller could lead to malfunction.
Mandatory
• When lifting the robot, lift it up slowly. The robot will tilt
slightly, so lifting it up suddenly could be hazardous.
• When storing the robot, securely fix it on the base. The robot
will be unstable if just set down, and it could tilt over.

Transportation
1.1 Unpacking
The robot and controller are shipped separately in corrugated cardboards. The teach
pendant and other accessories such as the instruction manual are packaged
separately.
Open the packages in a location easily accessible to where the equipment is to be
installed. Take careful precautions not to damage the robot or controller. After
opening the packages, make sure that all the accessories are present and that nothing
has been damaged in transit.
!DANGER
• If any parts of the equipment are found damaged or any accessories are missing
after the shipment containing the robot and controller have reached your office, DO
NOT install and operate them. Otherwise, the equipment will malfunction.
Contact Toshiba Machine immediately.
• Dispose of the corrugated cardboards, polyethylene shipping bags and cushion
material according to your standards.

1.2 Transportation
Move the robot and controller very carefully. Make sure that no excessive impact
(9.8m/s2or more) or vibration is exerted on the equipment. If the equipment is to be
subject to vibration over a long period, be sure to tighten all the nuts and screws
completely.
If the equipment is to be moved to a location some distance from where it was
unpacked, reposition the cushions as they were and put the equipment back into the
corrugated cardboards.
1.2.1 Mass and Dimensions
The mass and dimensions of the robot and controller are shown in Table 1.1.
Table 1.1
Type Mass
Robot TH180 9 kg
Robot TH250A 14 kg
Robot TH350A 14 kg
Robot TH350A‐T 14 kg
Controller TS1000 10 kg
1.2.2 Transporting the Robot
To transport the robot, fold back and secure the arm with the attached clamp. (The
robot is shipped in this posture. After you have unpacked the shipment, you can
move it as it is.)
!DANGER
• Be sure to secure the arm with the attached clamp before transporting the
robot. Failure to do so could cause a hazardous situation as the arm will
move when the robot is lifted.

TRANSPORTATION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL
!CAUTION
• When transporting or unpacking the robot and robot controller, take careful
precautions not to get injured by the drop of them or not to damage the
equipment.
• When lifting the robot by workers, hold the locations (shaded areas) by
hands as shown in Figs. 1.4 to 1.6. If the arm 2 or cover is held by hands,
an unusually large force is exerted, resulting in a malfunction.
• If the robot has been carried manually by workers, take utmost care to
prevent their hand or leg from being caught in the robot when placing it on
the floor.

1.2.3 Transporting the Controller
Disconnect all cables and teach pendant before transporting the controller.
!DANGER
• When placing the controller on the floor, etc., make sure not to catch your
hands or feet.
1.3 Storage
Avoid storing the robot and controller for long periods of time after unpacking them. If
this is unavoidable, however, strictly observe the following precautions for storage.
1.3.1 Storage Precautions for the Robot
It is recommended to secure the robot in the shipment posture, using the attached
clamp for transport.
!CAUTION
• Secure the base completely to prevent the robot from falling over. When
placed directly on the floor, the robot is unstable and will fall over.
• Keep the robot out of direct sunlight. The timing belts and resin covers
may deteriorate.
• Seal the robot in a vinyl bag to prevent rust development and contaminant.
Put a desiccant in the bag to absorb moisture. As the tool shaft is
susceptible to rust development, coat it with rust-preventive agent or grease.
1.3.2 Storage Precautions for the Controller
!CAUTION
• Keep the controller out of direct sunlight. Otherwise, the controller interior
will be excessively heated up, causing a trouble.

TRANSPORTATION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL
2.2 Robot Installation
Before installing the robot, you should plan a layout, fully considering the working
envelope, coordinate system and space for maintenance.
It is recommended to replace the batteries at the time of installation so that they can be
replaced at regular inspection and maintenance. For the battery replacement, see
Para. 2.3.8 of the Maintenance Manual.
2.2.1 External Dimensions
External view drawings of the robot are shown in Figs. 2.1 to 2.4.
2.2.2 Working Envelope
Each axis can operate within the working envelope. To prevent the robot from moving
out of the working envelope by mis-operation, the robot is equipped with mechanical
stoppers outside the working envelope. Additionally, soft limits which can be set by
the user are provided.
yIn the case where batteries for detecting the motor position are of alkaline
type, the batteries can overheat, leak battery fluid, or rupture when used
under high temperatures. Also, high temperatures can reduce the
performance and lifespan of the battery. If using the robot under high
temperatures, please consult with the Toshiba Machine sales office.
