A brake is mounted on the Joint #3 motor to prevent the shaft from moving down due to
the weight of the end effector while the power to the Controller is OFF or while the motor
is in OFF status (MOTOR OFF).
Note that the brake will not work during the replacement procedure.
Move the shaft down to its lower limit before the replacement procedure following the
removal steps from (1) to (3).
Joint #3 brake
Removal
(1)
Turn ON the Controller.
(2)
Push down the shaft to its lower limit while pressing the brake release switch. Be
sure to keep enough space and prevent the
end effector
hitting any peripheral
equipment.
The brake release switch affects only Joint #3. When the brake release switch is
pressed, the brake for Joint #3 is released simultaneously.
Be careful of the
shaft while the brake release switch is being pressed because
the
shaft may be lowered by the weight of an end eff
ector.
(3)
Turn OFF the Controller.
(4)
Remove the arm
top cover and the arm bottom cover.
For details, refer to Maintenance: 3. Covers.
