■ Replacing the J3 axis timing belt
CAUTION

2) Make sure that the pulleys do not move while replacing the belt. If the timing pulley A <4> and B <5> position
relation deviates, the position could deviate.
3) Make marks on the timing belt <2> and timing pulleys <4> and <5> with a felt-tip pen as shown in
that the engagement of the timing belt <2> and timing pulleys <4> and <5> does not deviate.
4) Lightly loosen the two idler installation screws <1>. (Do not loosen too much.)
5) Loosen the nut fixing tension adjustment screw <3>. Loosen the tension adjustment screw <3>, and remove
the old belt.
6) Copy the marks onto the new timing belt. Make sure that both belts are tense when making the marks.
7) Align the new timing belt with the marks on the timing pulleys <4> and <5>, and install.
8) Turn tension adjustment screw <3>, and adjust the tension of timing belt <2>.
When the screw is turned to the right, the belt will be stretched, and when turned to the left, will loosen.
Adjust the belt tension slack to within the range as shown in
Before the tension measurement, rotate the timing pulley at least three times in each direction so that the
timing belt fits in the pulley. Check the tension measurement method in
measurement".
If the belt is loosened too much when adjusting the tension causing it to come off the timing pulleys <4> and
<5>, or if the belt and pulley teeth engagement is deviated, the machine system's origin will deviate.
9) After adjustment fastens the fixing nut of tension adjustment screw <3>, and certainly fixes tension
adjustment screw <3>. Moreover, also fasten two idler installation screws <1> certainly (M3 screw: tightening
torque is 1.96 Nm). Improper tightening can cause the belt to loosen with vibration.
10) Install the No. 1 arm cover L securely as before.
