Action
DANGER
Turn off all:
• electric power supply
• hydraulic pressure supply
• air pressure supply
to the robot, before entering the robot
working area.
Make an overall inspection of the cable
harness in order to detect wear and dam-
age.
Pay special attention to the areas of axis-
2 and axis-3 movement, shown in the fig-
ure. Make sure the cabling is not damages
in any way, between the cable brackets in
these areas.
Check that all visible cable brackets, velcro
straps and attachments are properly se-
cured, by following the cable harness from
the base to the wrist.
Check the motor cables visually for any
damage.
Check the connectors at the base visually
for any damage.
Check the cabling going through the protec-
tion tube, to detect possible cable chafing,
by using your hands inside the tube to feel
the cables. Ensure that the cables are un-
damaged.
Remove any objects that may cause pos-
sible cable chafing.
Replace damaged cabling, if any.
Replace the cable harness if wear, cracks
or damage is detected.
