3.3.2 Inspecting the oil level, axis 2 gearbox
Different versions of the gearbox
There are two different versions of the axis-1 and axis-2 gearboxes. The different
versions affect the mechanical structure of the base, frame and lower arm.
Differences in the mechanical structure are pointed out in the procedure as valid
for different robot version:
• IRB 2600-20/1.65, IRB 2600-12/1.65, IRB 2600-12/1.85, IRB 2600ID-15/1.85,
IRB 2600ID-8/2.0
• IRB 2600 Type C-20/1.65, IRB 2600 Type C-12/1.65
Further information about the differences are given in Non-compatible versions of
axis-1 and axis-2 gearboxes on page 428.
Location of axis 2 gearbox
The axis 2 gearbox is located in the lower arm rotational center, underneath the
motor attachment. The oil plugs are shown in the figure.
