5.3 Replacing the Joint #2 Timing Belt
WARNING
■
Before
performing any replacement procedure, turn OFF the Controller and
related equipment,
and then pull out the power plug from the power source.
Performing any replacement procedure with the power ON is extremely
hazardous and may result in
electric shock and/or malfunction of the robot
system.
■
Do not insert or pull out the motor connectors while the power to the robot system
is turned ON. Inserting or pulling out the motor connectors
with the power ON is
extremely hazardous and may result
in serious bodily injury as the Manipulator
may move abnormally, and also may result in
electric shock and/or malfunction of
the robot system.
■
Be sure to connect the AC power cable to a power receptacle. DO NOT connect
it directly to a factory power source. To shut off power
to the robot system, pull
out the power plug from the power source. Performing any work while
connecting the AC power ca
ble to a factory power source is extremely hazardous
and may result in
electric shock and/or malfunction of the robot system.
CAUTION
■
Be careful not to apply excessive shock to the motor shaft
during replacement
procedures
. The shock may shorten the life cycle of the motors and encoder
and/or damage them.
■
Carefully use
alcohol
, liquid gasket, and adhesive following respective
instructions
and also instructions below. Careless use of alcohol, liquid gasket,
or adhesive may cause a fire and/or safety problems.
- Never put alcohol, liquid gasket, or adhesive close to fire.
- Use alcohol, liquid gasket, or adhesive while ventilating the room.
- Wear protective gear including a mask, protective goggles, and oil-resistant
gloves.
-
If alcohol, liquid gasket, or adhesive gets on your skin, wash the area
thoroughly with soap and water.
- If alcohol, liquid gasket, or adhesive gets into your eyes or mouth, flush your
eyes or wash out your mouth with clean water thoroughly, and then see a
doctor immediately.
- After parts have been replaced (motors, reduction gear units, timing belts, etc.), the
Manipulator cannot perform positionig properly because a mismatch exists between the
origin stored in each motor encoder and its corresponding origin stored in the Controller.
After replacing the parts, it is necessary to match these origins.
The process of aligning the two origins is called “Calibration”.
Refer to Maintenance 12. Calibration and follow the steps that pertain to the software
you are using to perform the calibration.
- Replacement procedure of the timing belt for the Joint #2 and Joint #3 are almost same.
The following replacement procedure uses pictures of Joint #3.
