5.4 Greasing (T series Manipulator)
The ball screw spline and reduction gear units need greasing regularly. Only use
the grease specified.
This section contains information of the parts requiring lubrication and greasing
intervals. For details of the lubrication procedure, refer to the Manipulator manual.
CAUTION
Keep enough grease in the Manipulator. Operating the Manipulator
with
insufficient grease damages the sliding parts resulting in
insufficient Manipulator performance
. It may also require a lot of time
for repair.
If grease gets into your eyes, mouth, or on your skin, follow the
instructions below.
If grease gets into your eyes:
Flush them thoroughly with clean water, and then see a doctor
immediately.
If grease gets into your mouth:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. See a doctor immediately.
If grease just gets into your mouth, wash out your mouth with water
thoroughly.
If grease gets on your skin
Wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.
Overhaul timing
Joint #3 Ball screw spline shaft
At 100 km of operation
(50 km for first greasing)
Joint #1, 2 reduction gear units
As a rough indication, perform greasing at the same timing as overhaul.
However, the timing may vary depending on usage condition and the load applied
on the Manipulator (such as when operated with the maximum motion speed and
maximum acceleration / deceleration in continuous operation).
