FANUC Upside Down Robot Setup

Aug 18, 2023

Adam Willea

Senior District Sales Manager

In this video, Adam demonstrates how to configure a robot to work upside down, a technique that optimizes workspace and reach. He highlights that robots are factory-tuned for Earth's gravity, necessitating a controlled start to adjust their servos for inverted mounting. Adam explains two methods for achieving a controlled start: an "old-school" button combination and a simpler menu option. He then guides viewers through the manual setup process within the robot's maintenance settings, covering crucial configurations such as path priority, mounting orientation (180 degrees for upside down), payload settings, and J1 range. The video concludes with the final cold start to apply these changes, ensuring the robot operates correctly in its new orientation.
