Cleaning; Adjusting The Stainless Sheet - IAI ROBO Cylinder RCP2 Series Operating Manual

9.2 Visual Inspection of the Machine Exterior
Check the following items when carrying out visual inspection.
Body Loose mounting bolts
Cables Damage to cables or connection to connector box
Stainless sheet Damage, foreign deposit or slacks
General Unusual noise or vibrations
• If the stainless sheet is slacked, make adjustment as deemed necessary to remove the slacks.
• As a rough guide, the stainless sheet will last for 5,000 km of traveled distance.
However, the stainless sheet should be replaced earlier depending on the condition of use.
The stainless sheet must be replaced at an IAI site (the actuator must be brought to IAI) or at the customer's
site by IAI's service personnel, as a rule.
• If the actuator is fixed vertically, grease applied to the guide may drip depending on the environment. If this
happens, clean and add grease as necessary.
9.3

Cleaning

• Clean the exterior as needed.
• Wipe off dirt with a soft cloth.
• Do not use strong compressed air on the actuator as this may force dust into the crevices.
• Do not use petroleum-based solvent on plastic parts or painted surfaces.
• If the unit is badly soiled, apply a neutral detergent or alcohol to a soft cloth, and wipe gently.
9.4

Adjusting the Stainless Sheet

If the actuator stroke is 400 mm or more, check the stainless sheet for slacking, etc., as needed. If the sheet is
found slacked, adjust the stainless sheet.
[For the procedure to adjust the stainless sheet, refer to 9.8, "Replacing/Adjusting the Stainless Sheet."]
