Action
Place the cable package in a way that it will
not be damaged in the continued removal
procedure.
Remove motors axes 4, 5 and 6.
Tip
If only the tubular shaft unit shall be re-
placed, it is a good idea to remove the wrist
unit at this stage.
CAUTION
The robot arm tube weighs 30 kg.
All lifting accessories used must be sized
accordingly!
Secure the tubular shaft unit with round-
slings in an overhead crane.
CAUTION
Prevent the slings from sliding!
For example a small plate can be fitted to
the lower attachment hole for the cable
bracket (removed in a previous step). The
plate should be fitted so it points down-
wards and functions as a mechanical stop
for the roundsling.
At the other end of the tubular shaft unit, a
shackle can be fitted if the wrist unit is re-
moved.
Remove the attachment screws that secure
the tubular shaft unit.
Remove the tubular shaft unit using caution.
The tubular shaft unit is fitted with Loctite.
CAUTION
Do not damage the gears when removing
the tubular shaft unit.
CAUTION
Remaining oil will drain out from the gear-
box cavity when the tubular shaft is lifted
out.
