- Vibration (abnormal noise) or reduction of life of the parts may occur if the value exceeds the upper
limit.
- When you replace with a new belt, belt may stretch and the belt tension will decrease in the initial
stage of operation. Make sure to operate the robot two to three days and check the belt tension again.
