    Storing giant robots outdoors

    Hi so i have 4 robots i hope to retrofit soon. Two yaskawa YR-up6-a00 s and a fanuc p-150 and p-155. The yaskwas and the p-155 are stored in a vented storage container. The p-150 is tarped outside...here in texas the worst temps in years were 110 f. Generally the worst it gets is 100-102 f. Im simply worried the motors or encoders will cook. One of the motors on the p-155 says max ambient 104 f. If i had a 110 f day would my bots be ruined? What about a tarped bot getting rained on. Probably developing internal condensation...should it be ok so long as its dry when powered up?

    generally maximum ambient temperatures are what they are to limit internal temperatures during operation, which will be higher. particularly due to the friction in the gear boxes and heat from the motors


    i have no idea how sensitive those things are to condensation.

    So probably not an issue on temp side? The encoders themselves are pretty well sealed and then those are pretty well sealed beneath the redcap...then the robot is nema 1 sch 1 explosive enviornment rated....sooo
