2.3.7 Loads fitted to the robot, stopping time and braking distancesGeneralAny loads mounted on the robot must be defined correctly and carefully (withregard to the position of center of gravity and mass moments of inertia) in orderto avoid jolting movements and overloading motors, gears and structure.CAUTIONIncorrectly defined loads may result in operational stops or major damage to therobot.ReferencesLoad diagrams, permitted extra loads (equipment) and their positions are specifiedin the product specification. The loads must also be defined in the software asdetailed in:• Operating manual - IRC5 with FlexPendantStopping time and braking distancesThe performance of the motor brake depends on if there are any loads attachedto the robot.
