Checking Robot for Oil Around Harmonic Drive

The Cobra i-series robots use oil in the harmonic drive components for lubrication. It is
recommended that you periodically inspect the robot for any signs of oil in areas outside
of the harmonic drive. Check these locations:
NOTE: Remove all power to the robot before opening the AIB chassis.
• The area around Joint 1
• The area around Joint 2
• Inside the base of the robot, by opening the AIB chassis and inspecting internally
Contact Adept if you find any signs of oil in these areas.
