Cleaning the Robot

Clean the exterior of the robot as needed. Inspect the external surface of the robot frequently when
used in a dirty environment.
Remove any dirt and debris from the exterior of the robot. Debris can accumulate around robot joints.
Take extra effort to clean around these areas.
Do not use organic solvents to clean any part of the robot. Organic solvents might
damage electronics resulting in an unsafe operating state that could cause injury or
damage to equipment.

Bellows Replacement Procedure

Use the following procedure to replace bellows.
Precautions for Correct Use
Never release the z-axis brake while the quill clamp collar is loose or removed. This can allow
the quill to fall out of the robot.
Additional Information

The following items are required for this procedure.
• One of the following bellows replacement kits applicable to your robot.
• Standard quill length (210 mm): 19464-103F
• Long quill length (410 mm): 19464-104F
• 2.5 mm hex key
• 3 mm hex key
Make the following considerations before installing bellows.
• If cables or tubing are routed through the center of the quill, they must be removed before beginning
this procedure.
• The tool flange must be removed if the lower bellows is being replaced. Make all necessary prepara-
tions and considerations before removing the tool flange. Refer to 6-2-1 Replacing the Tool Flange
on page 6-12 for more information.
• The procedure removes the upper bellows first and then the lower bellows next.
• To simplify installation, the Joint 3 quill should be positioned in approximately the middle position.
