3HNA010055-001 en Rev.12
3 System Description
3.3 The Horizontal Arm
Each of the 3 links of the hollow wrist is controlled by a motor in the drive unit via
a drive shaft through the arm.
The 3 motors are mounted on a gear unit. The gear unit is accessible from the
outside, and includes plugs on top and bottom for oil filling and draining. The gear
box also includes adjustment screws for adjusting the play in the motor / gear box
gears.
Electrical Connections
Two electrical cables with connectors extend from each of the drive motors. These
cables are the motor cable, including motor power, brake power and temperature
sensor connection, and the resolver cable.
Purge System
The purge system applies compressed air to the rear chamber of the arm. A purge
sensor system is located inside the chamber. The sensors are monitored by the purge
control system in the control cabinet to control the function of the purge system.
The purged chamber is an air tight compartment. It is for this reason important that
all screws are installed to prevent air leaks.
The arm is supported on bearings on top of the horizontal arm. The motion of the
arm is controlled by the axis 3 drive motor on the turning unit via the parallel rod
attached at the rear end of the arm.

the horizontal arm.
Note: The grease nipple in the top bearing of the parallel rod is only used to press
out the bearing for service purposes, and must NOT be lubricated for normal
maintenance, as this may damage the bearing.
Length
Control Electronics
The vertical arm includes the manipulator transfer board MTB-01 for manipulator
and paint control. The board is located in the electronics compartment inside the
arm. The compartment is accessible via a cover on the front of the arm.
The vertical arm is equipped with axis brake release switches. The brake release
switches are designed to facilitate manual brake release, if the robot has stopped in a
position and the pendant can not be used to move the robot out of this position.
3HNA010055-001 en Rev.12
25
3 System Description
3.4 The Vertical Arm
The three turn and hold switches are installed on the front of the vertical arm. Each
of the switches releases the motor brakes of a pre-defined group of robot axes:
1. Brakes of axis 1, axis 4-5-6 and axis 7 (trolley linear axis if applicable)
2. Brake of axis 2
3. Brake of axis 3
Important: It must be observed that the robot arms may drop or rise when the
brakes are released. This applies especially when extra paint equipment is installed
on the robot arms.
The brake release switches are explosion protected Exi/Exp for use in hazardous
areas.

Design
The main parts of the base unit are the gear boxes for axis 1, axis 2 (right side - rear
view) and axis 3 (left side). The vertical arm is mounted directly on the output shaft
of the axis 2 gear unit. The motion of the axis 3 gear unit shaft is transferred to the
horizontal arm via a lever arm and parallel rod. The vertical- and horizontal arms
are counter balanced by balancing springs on the gear boxes. Electrical cables and
purging hose for the vertical arm are routed via a hole in the center of the unit.
The base unit is a completely sealed environment. When installing covers, no
screws must be missing to avoid air leaks which will affect the purging system.
Each gear unit is equipped with an anti backlash unit to prevent jerks when the
vertical arm moves over the top of the motion.
Measuring Board
A measuring board, SMU, for measuring the position of the resolvers is located
inside the base unit.
The origo of the base frame for each manipulator type is located at the floor plane in
the center of the rotation of the first axis. For manipulators mounted on a trolley, the
origo is located in the same place relative the centers of rotation for the robot axes.
Base frame origo is shown in the working area drawing, see Working Area
Drawings on page 46.

3 System Description
3.5 The Base and Foot Unit
The vertical arm and horizontal arm are balanced in a way that will hold the
manipulator arm in an unchanged position when the mechanical brakes are released.
The balancing is achieved by a spring on each side of the vertical arm. The spring
on the left hand side (rear view) balances the horizontal arm, and the spring on the
right side balances the vertical arm. The springs are covered with housing.
Figure 9 Balancing springs
Roller
attachment screws
Roller
Lever arm
Design
The 2 springs operate in the same way. The difference is the attachment for the lever
arm transferring the spring force to the manipulator arm. For the vertical arm, the
attachment is located on the vertical center line when the arm is in neutral position
(straight upwards). For the horizontal arm, the attachment is displaced from the
vertical center line.
WARNING! The springs are tightened to a considerable force. Attempts to release
this force without having the required qualification and knowledge may cause
serious personnel injuries and even death. For this reason: Do not attempt to loosen
spring force unless you know exactly what you are doing. Follow the procedure in
the Repairs chapter before performing this operation.

3 System Description
3.6 The Axes Motors
Each axis of the manipulator has its own electric motor unit, including a
synchronous motor, a brake and a feedback device (resolver). Different motors are
used for different axes on the robot. The drive shaft of the motor forms a part of the
gearbox of the manipulator axis.
The feedback device and brakes are installed by the supplier of the motor and
should never be removed from the motor. The complete motor assembly should be
replaced as a complete unit.
Motor Power
Power is applied to the motors when the motor power button on the main panel is
pressed.
Feedback Unit
Each motor is equipped with a feedback unit (resolver) for the measuring system,
located on the end inside the motor. The feedback unit is connected to the motor
shaft. The purpose of the unit is to send feedback to the control electronics of the
position of the motor and thereby the manipulator axes via the measuring board.
Axis Brakes
Each motor is equipped with electrical holding brakes. The purpose of the brakes is
to hold the manipulator in unchanged position when power is removed from the
motors. The brakes are active when no power is applied, and released (lifted) when
power is applied. The brakes are automatically released when power is applied to
the motor, but may also be released from the pendant, with the brake release
switches on the vertical arm, or directly on the motor connector etc. for service
purposes. How to release the axis brakes for service purposes is described in the
chapter Repair in this manual.
Temperature Monitoring
Each motor also includes a temperature sensor. If the temperature should increase
over a specified maximum, motor power will be removed and the brakes activated.

The diagram below shows the maximum load which can be handled by the hollow
wrist. The maximum load is depending on the distance and offset from the wrist
flange to the center of gravity of the load.
Note: The wrist load is restricted to 10 kg. This is due to the total handling capacity
of the robot itself, and not related to the wrist. In some cases however, the load may
be increased (depending on load installed on the robot arm etc.). Please contact your

4.6 Permitted Load on Arm
Various equipment such as atomizer, air regulation, pilot valves, fluid pumps, color
change valves, etc. may be mounted on the robot arm. Exactly how much that can
be mounted on the arms depends on the position of the load, or more exact, on the
coordinates of the centers of gravity of the load on the vertical arm, the load on the
horizontal arm and the tool load. The following sections describe how to find the
maximum loads which can be mounted on the arm. For information on load which
can be mounted on the wrist, see Permitted Load on Wrist on page 40.
Important Notes
All loads described refer to a naked robot. If extra components are already present,
the weight of these components must be subtracted from the calculated weights.
Keep in mind that any load on the manipulator will reduce the robots capability to
accelerate. As this might have consequences for the cycle time, the load should be
kept as low as possible, and should be mounted as close to the center of rotation or
to the base of the manipulator as possible.
It is of great importance that the controller has an exact description of the extra
loads to be able to generate optimal paths and thus avoiding inaccurate motion
performance. For information, see Technical Reference Manual, System
Parameters, Topic Motion / Type Arm Load.
Configuring less load than is actually mounted on the robot arms will lead to motor
torques exceeding their limits with possible overheating and/or reduction of lifetime
of motors and gear units. This case is not covered by the robot warranty.
Note: Changing the load on the arm may cause the arm to raise or drop, depending
Maximum Loads
For the amount of paint equipment that can be mounted on the manipulator, the
critical factor for the maximum load is the gravitational torque. An evaluation of the
gravitational torque is normally considered sufficient for determining max. load.

Extra load must be mounted with the center of gravity inside the three boxes A, B
and C. Box A applies for load on the vertical arm, and boxes B and C apply for the
horizontal arm. The extra load permitted must comply to the following rules:
Note: If large loads are placed in extreme positions in the boxes, e.g. close to
1.
2.
Sum of wrist load and load in box C must not exceed 15 kg.
3.
If the latter is less than 15 kg, the difference can be added to box A or B.
4.
Maximum 20 kg can be mounted in the base, axis 1, if the distance from the
center of rotation to the center of gravity of the load is less than 400 mm.

Procedure
The following procedure describes how to unpack the manipulator, release the axis
brakes and lift the manipulator.
WARNING! The robot arm is folded before shipment for packing purposes. To
prevent the robot from tipping over, the arm must be placed in a stable position as
shown above before removing screws securing robot to transportation pallet.
1.
After having unloaded the manipulator crate from the lorry, use a fork lift and
transport the manipulator to the installation site or as close to the site as
possible before removing it from the pallet.
CAUTION! To prevent oil leak from the gearboxes, do not tilt the manipulator more
Unpack the manipulator and supplied packages and check that the content is
correct and undamaged.
WARNING! Do not remove manipulator attachment screws before releasing the axis
brakes.
52
3HNA010055-001 en Rev.12
3.
Release axis brakes by removing base unit cover and applying power to
connector pins. For information on how to release the axis brakes, see
Releasing Axis Brakes on page 77.
Note: A power supply capable of supplying 24 VDC with minimum 5 Ampere
must be available.
4.
5.
CAUTION! Various paint control equipment may be mounted on the vertical arm
and horizontal arm. When lifting the manipulator, attention must be paid in order
not to damage these components or their panels. If necessary, remove vertical arm
side covers before lifting.
WARNING! The following lifting instructions are valid for a naked robot with
standard arm length. Whenever additional equipment is put on the robot, and/or the
robot arm is of a design different from the standard arm or the arm has been
repositioned in relation to the position shown in the illustration, lifting can be
dangerous and extra attention must be paid when lifting the robot.
6.
7.
Tension the lifting straps. Check that straps are properly secured and will not
slide. Lift the manipulator vertically.
3HNA010055-001 en Rev.12
53
The position of the manipulator should be included in the drawings for the planning
phase for the installation to be able to find the position of foundation arrangements
etc. This position will only be an approximate position as the accurate position can
best be found after the manipulator has been physically placed in the spray booth.
The necessity of finding an exact position for the manipulator depends largely on
the size and shape of the objects which are to be painted. Larger objects require
more accurate trimming of the position of the manipulator to be able to reach all
necessary surfaces.
For information on working area for the robot, see Working Area Drawings on
page 46.
Important Notes
Following points should be observed when planning the position of the manipulator
and trimming the manipulator to the accurate position:
The manipulator must be positioned so that all surfaces to be painted can be
reached.
The distance from the front of the wrist to the point where the spraying fan hits
the object is determined by the spray-gun and TCP (Tool Center Point) distance.
The manipulator must be positioned so that obstructions in the working area for
the manipulator can be bypassed at a safe distance. If this requirement cannot be
met, working area limiting devices must be installed, and necessary guards,
fences etc. must be provided.
The floor must be strong enough to support the weight of the manipulator. In
addition, the floor should deflect as little as possible due to the dynamic forces
from the manipulator. Recommended is a concrete floor or a rigid steel structure.
For more information, see Securing the Manipulator on page 57.
The design of the manipulator gives the arm a considerable reach in backwards
direction. When necessary, this range must be limited using mechanical stops to
prevent the arm from hitting the back wall of the spray booth etc. with an
additional safety clearance of minimum 300 mm. For information on limiting the
working range, see Working Area Limitations on page 59.
Procedure
54
1.
Lift manipulator into position on the prepared mounting base in the spray
booth.
2.
Install attachment screws, but do not tighten yet. Adjust levelling screws until
the manipulator is levelled. Align manipulator perpendicular in relation to
conveyor as described in Alignment and Levelling on page 55.
3.
3HNA010055-001 en Rev.12
It is important that the manipulator is correctly levelled and that the straight forward
position of the arm is perpendicular to the conveyor. This is especially important
when using the conveyor tracking feature for synchronizing the robot programs to
the position of the objects on the conveyor.

Procedure
Clamp
When the correct distance between the manipulator and the conveyor has been
settled, the complete manipulator must be positioned to be perpendicular to the
conveyor within +/0.5 mm when the manipulator arm (axis 1) is pointing straight
forwards. The alignment can be performed as follows:
WARNING! When the manipulator is not fastened to the floor, the manipulator is not
stable in the whole working area. When the arms are moved, care must be taken to
prevent the manipulator from tipping over. Not paying attention to this hazard can
cause severe injuries to personnel or equipment.
1.
Release axis brakes as described in Releasing Axis Brakes on page 77. Rotate
the manipulator arm until the alignment pins on the base unit and foot unit are
exactly above each other. If the calibration fixture kit is available, install clamp
to lock axis 1 in this position. The arm is now pointing straight forwards in
relation to the base. Move the horizontal arm to a horizontal position.
3HNA010055-001 en Rev.12
55
2.
Activate axis brakes and rotate the complete manipulator until it is as close to
90 as practically possible using eye measure. Level the manipulator roughly.
3.
Attach an alignment stick to the horizontal arm so that it extends e.g. 1 meter in
front of the arm. Make sure that the stick is parallel with the arm and centred in
relation to the arm.
4.
Remove axis 1 clamp. Release brakes and move the arm an angle (+a) in
relation to the base/arm center line. The arm should then be located so that a
defined point on the front of the alignment stick is located near a vertical line
from the conveyor center line.
The angle may be accurately found by reading joint angle for axis 1 on the
pendant.
5.
Measure the distance from the defined point on the front of the alignment stick
to the conveyor center line in vertical direction. If the point on the stick has a
horizontal offset in relation to the vertical line, measure this distance as well.
6.
Move the manipulator arm the same angle (-a) in relation to the center line in
the opposite direction.
Note: Make sure that only axis 1 is moved. Moving any of the other axes will
result in incorrect measurement.

Mounting Surface
Requirements
Base Template
The manipulator is secured to the mounting surface using 4 ea. M12 bolts. The 2 ea.
guide pins (M12 with tolerance H7) may be installed to enable accurate
repositioning of the manipulator after the manipulator has been removed for service
etc., or if the position for some reason has been disturbed.
Note: A recommended method for securing the manipulator is to install M12
mounting screws (the attachment holes in the levelling screws are 14). This will
enable trimming of the position before installing the alignment pins.
For drawing and dimensions of the foot unit, see Foot Unit Specifications on
page 42.
Designing a Mounting
Base
When designing a mounting base, following points must be kept in mind. For
information on maximum loads, forces applied to the mounting surface etc., see
Stress Forces on page 38.
The base must be strong enough to carry the weight of the manipulator.
The base must have a stiffness which will minimize swinging related to dynamic
forces in X, Y and Z direction. (A common mistake is to make the mounting
base too weak).
Note that if the object to be painted is mounted to the same structure as the
manipulator, the painted object may be influenced by the manipulator.
If the base is built on H-bars etc., measures should be taken to prevent bending
which may cause oscillations when the manipulator is moving (typically large
up/down paint strokes).
It is recommended that deflection of the structure do not exceed more than
0.3 mm per meter. Exception could be made due to installation. Note that
3HNA010055-001 en Rev.12
57
repeated identical painting movement at a low frequency may match the natural
frequency of a weak under structure.
The base should be made in a size which will enable adjustments to find the most
suitable position of the manipulator in relation to the object.
The mounting surface should be horizontal.

Floor mounting: After the mounting location has been found, drill 4 holes in the
floor. Insert the fixture tubes for expansion bolts in the holes. Place the manipulator
on top of the holes, and secured with 4 bolts. The manipulator may be levelled by
adjusting the levelling screw. When level, lock position by tightening the lock nut.
Steel plate mounting: The manipulator may be mounted on a steel plate of minimum
15-20 mm thickness. If the plate is accurately levelled, the levelling screws may be
set to the upper position so that the manipulator will rest on the machined surfaces
on the base legs.

The maximum working area for axis 1 for the floor mounted robot is 150. This
area may be limited by positioning mechanical stop studs on the manipulator foot
unit as shown in the illustration below.
Note: For a trolley robot, axis 1 working area (sideways motion) is fixed to 105
by stop studs under axis 2 and 3 gear units on the robot base and stop studs on the
top of the trolley.

Procedure
The robot is supplied with 2 stop studs. One of these studs is installed in center
position as shown in the illustration. The other is supplied separately. By positioning
these studs, the working area can be limited according to requirement.
The rotation angles in +/- directions refer to the arm pointing straight forwards.
When installing the stoppers, the area must be kept within the maximum limits
stated above in each direction. The arm must under no circumstances be permitted
to move beyond the maximum limits due to the cable layout in the base.
The working range can be set in increments of 15 degrees.
If the maximum rotation is to be used, the two stop studs must be substituted by one
stud. This stud MUST be installed on the front center as shown in Figure 25.
CAUTION! The stop stud(s) must be installed within a position which limits the

The following sections provide information for enabling cartesian boundaries for a
defined arm check point. This limitation is typically used for the elbow joint,
formed by the vertical and horizontal axes, to avoid collision with external
equipment, e.g. the spray booth wall.
WARNING! For safety reasons, this software shall not be used for protection of
General Principle
By defining the cartesian boundaries, a box is formed. The defined arm check
point is restricted to operate inside this box. If the check point is moved outside,
either by the operator or by a program, the control system will stop the robot and
issue an error message.
If the arm check point is outside the defined box, only movements towards the
legal area are permitted. Otherwise, the control system will issue an error message,
and the robot will stop.
There is a risk, although very small, that the arm check point under certain
circumstances can move outside of its box in a setup with conveyor tracking.
The robot control system will also monitor the speed of the check point so that it
does not exceed 250 mm/s in Manual Reduced Speed mode (
).
The check point can be a point on the arm itself, or at an external unit attached to the
arm etc.
A graphical description of the principle is shown in the illustration below.

Check Connection
The attachment clamps for the manipulator cable may have been disrupted during
handling and transportation of the manipulator. It is for this reason important that
the connection and securing of the cable is checked to prevent faulty operation of
the robot due to noise related to a poorly grounded cable screen etc.
Remove cover on manipulator foot unit (at flexible cable inlet). Inspect connection
and check that the cable screen is firmly secured under the P-clip. If the connection
is not correct, place the cable in correct position and tighten the P-clip as shown in
illustration below. Re-install cover and tighten attachment screw.
Also check that ground cable is connected to clamp beside cable inlet.

Cleaning the
Manipulator
The manipulator base and arm assembly should be cleaned regularly. Wipe all
surfaces clean using a wet lint-free cloth. Solvents may be used but with care.
Strong solvents such as acetone etc. should be avoided. High pressure cleaning
devices may be used in the spray booth, but spraying directly on the manipulator
should be avoided. If the manipulator is protected by a grease film or other means,
replace as required. (Use of plastic protection should be avoided.)
WARNING! To avoid static electricity, always use a wet or moist cloth on non
conductive surfaces such as paint equipment, hoses etc. Do not use a dry cloth.
The hollow wrist must be cleaned as often as required, if necessary every day, to
avoid accumulation of dirt and dust particles. Use a lint-free cloth for cleaning.
When the wrist is clean, a small amount of grease should be added to the wrist
surfaces. This will simplify the next cleaning.
Check Regularly
Fastening screws and clamps which fasten the manipulator or rail system in position
to the foundation must be kept clean for corrosive fluids such as water, basic
solutions and acid solutions. This to avoid corrosion of security parts. If the
corrosion protection such as zinc coat or paint have been damaged, parts must be
cleaned and covered by anti-corrosive paint.

7.1 Introduction
About this Chapter
This chapter details all repair activities recommended for the manipulator and any
external units of the manipulator.
It is made up of separate procedures, each detailing a specific repair activity. Each
procedure contains all information required to perform the activity, such as required
tools and items.
The procedures are gathered in sections, divided according to the component
location on the robot.
Safety Information
guidelines in the Safety Manual have been read and understood. Work must only be
performed by skilled personnel with the proper training.
Organization of
Procedures
The procedures are divided into a procedure for removal and a procedure for
installation. At the start of each procedure, a reference list shows information
located other places in the manual than in the procedure. If you want to print out a
procedure, you should also print the information referred to under reference to get
all information you need to perform the repair operation.
The manual describes the type of service work that can be carried out by the
Customers own service staff on site. Certain types of work, requiring special
experience or special aids, are not dealt with in the manual. In such cases, the
defective module or component should be replaced on site. The faulty item should
be sent to your local ABB organization for service.
Replacement Items
Make sure that any replacement items are available before performing any repair
procedures. Use only replacement items listed in the spare parts catalogue.
Purge System
During operation, the manipulator is supplied by compressed air. For this reason,
the robot can not operate unless all covers are in place and properly sealed. Missing
screws will cause air leaks and result in increased air consumption or failure in the
purge system.

7.1 Introduction
Tools
Most of the repair work on the robot can be performed with normal hand tools. A
few special tools are however required. These tools will be stated in the procedures
where they are needed.
Reference Information
Illustration References
Calibration
Calibration of the robot must be performed after replacing mechanical parts, when a
resolver error has occurred or when the power supply between a measuring board
and resolver has been interrupted etc.
Calibrating the robot means to place the robot arm and wrist in a specific position
and enter resolver data for this position into the control system. To place the arm
and wrist in this position, a calibration fixture must be available.
For description of the calibration function and procedure for entering calibration
data, see Operators Manual, IRC5P.

7.2 Releasing Axis Brakes
The axis brakes need to be released in many cases during installation and repair
work to reposition the robot arm. These are situations where the robot is not
powered which means that the normal brake release with the switches on the robot
vertical arm can not be used.
The following describes how the axis brakes can be released by applying power to
connectors directly on the manipulator.
3HNA010055-001 en Rev.12

7 Repair
7.2 Releasing Axis Brakes
A number of precautions must be taken when releasing the axis brakes. These
precautions are described in the following.
WARNING! The following precautions must always be read before manually
releasing the axis brakes using the methods described in the following. Failure to do
so may result in serious injury or even death.
Always stay clear of the robot arm and wrist and/or make sure that the arm and wrist
are properly suspended before releasing the axis brakes. Releasing the brakes may
cause the robot arm and wrist to drop or raise, depending on the weight (paint
equipment) installed on the arm and the tool installed on the wrist. Special attention
must also be paid to the wrist if a heavy tool is installed.
Unstable Manipulator
When the manipulator is not fastened to the floor, it is not stable in the whole
working area. When the brakes are released and the robot arm is moved, care must
be taken to prevent the manipulator from tipping over. Not paying attention to this
hazard can cause severe injuries to personnel or equipment.
The manipulator is typically unstable when the arm is extended too much forwards.
Make absolutely certain that no personnel is working on the robot or control system
when moving the robot arm by hand. Moving the electric motors will generate
400VAC which will be present in the robot and control system.
Balancing System
Inoperative
Axis brakes must not be released if the balancing system is inoperative unless the
robot arm and wrist are properly suspended.
Explosion Safety
Make absolutely certain that the spray booth is tested to be gas free before bringing
power supply for releasing the brakes into the spray booth.

7.8 Calibration Fixture Installation
The following provides instructions for installation of the calibration fixture for the
robot main axes and the hollow wrist.
The illustrations for calibration fixture installation also include information on
location of calibration marks and calibration position values.
A calibration fixture is required to perform the calibrating operation.
Note: The following only includes information for installation of the calibration
fixture. For description of the calibration function and procedure for entering
calibration data, see Operators Manual, IRC5P.
Safety Information
Before any calibration work is commenced, it is extremely important that all safety
information is observed.
There are general safety aspects that must be read through, as well as more specific
safety information that describes danger and safety risks when performing the
procedures. Read the Safety Manual before performing any service work.
WARNING! No repair work must be performed on the robot before the safety
guidelines in the Safety Manual have been read and understood. Work must only be
performed by skilled personnel with the proper training.
Changing calibration data are operations which may result in unexpected motion of
the robot or cause the robot to race if performed incorrectly. Following points
MUST therefore be observed when running or starting the robot after having
changed the calibration data.
ALWAYS check that the calibration fixture has been removed and that no person
or object is within the reach of the robot arm before applying power to the robot
and/or starting the robot.
ALWAYS stand ready by an EMERGENCY STOP before applying power to the
robot and/or starting the robot.
ALWAYS check movement of all robot axes in both directions after calibration
has been performed.
Installing the calibration fixtures involves releasing the axis brakes. Even if the
manipulator is counter balanced, attention must be paid to possible dropping or
raising of the arm, depending on horizontal arm type and weight installed on the
arm.

9.3 Mounting Instructions for Seals
A common cause of leakage in seals is incorrect fitting. This section details how to
mount different types of seals on the manipulator.
General Precautions
Rotating Seals
Check the seal to ensure that the seal is of the correct type (provided with
cutting edge), and that there is no damage to the sealing edge (feel with a
fingernail).
2.
Inspect the sealing surfaces before mounting. If scratches or damage are found,
the seal must be replaced, as it may result in future leakage.
3.
Lubricate the seal with grease just before fitting. (Not too early as there is a risk
of dirt and foreign particles adhering to the seal.) Fill the space between the
dust tongue and sealing lip to 2/3 with grease. The rubber coated external
diameter must also be greased, unless otherwise specified.
4.
Mount the seal correctly using a mounting tool. Never hammer directly on the
seal, as this may result in leakage.
The instruction below details how to fit flange seals and static seals.
1.
Check the flange surfaces. They must be even and free from pores. It is easy to
check flatness using a gauge on the fastened joint (without sealing compound).
If the flange surfaces are defective, the parts may not be used, because leakage
could occur.
2.
3.
Distribute the sealing compound evenly over the surface, preferably with a
brush.

9.6 Safety Instructions for Replacing Oil in Gearboxes
When handling the gearbox oil, there are several dangers to both personal injuries
and product damages. Following safety information must be regarded before
performing any work with the oil in the gearboxes.
Changing and draining gearbox oil may require handling hot oil of up to 90 C.
Make sure that protective gear like goggles and gloves are worn during this
activity.
When opening the oil plug, there may be pressure present in the gearbox,
causing oil to spray from the opening. Open oil plug carefully and keep away
from the opening.
Overfilling of gearbox oil can lead to internal high pressure inside the gearbox
which in turn may damage seals and gaskets, completely press out seals and
gaskets and/or prevent the manipulator from moving freely. Make sure not to
overfill the gearbox. After filling, check that the oil level is correct.
Mixing types of oil may cause severe damage to the gearbox. When filling
gearbox oil, do not mix different types of oil. Always use the specified oil type.
Warm oil drains quicker than cold oil. When changing gearbox oil, first run the
robot for a time to heat up the oil.
The specified amount of oil is based on the total volume of the gearbox. When
changing the oil, the amount of refilled oil may differ from the specified amount,
depending on how much oil has previously been drained from the gearbox. After
refilling, check the oil level.
