5 Maintenance and Inspection
(8) RV-2FR series: Inspection and replacement of J6-axis timing belt and brake timing belt
The reference figure at inspection and replacement of the timing belt is shown in
In the RV-2FRB/2FRLB, the J6 axis has the timing belt rotating the J6 axis and the brake timing belt conveying
the brake. Also inspection and replacement the brake timing belt simultaneously.

■ Replacing the J6 axis timing belt
CAUTION
1) Refer to
Page 100, "5.3.2 Installing/removing the
2) Make sure that the pulleys do not move while replacing the belt. If the pulley <4> and <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 three motor plate fixing 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 the three
tightening torque is 4.51 Nm). Improper tightening can cause the belt to loosen with vibration.

It is possible for the customer to replace the timing belt, but precise adjustment is
needed to prevent malfunction of the relevant parts. To ask for replacement of the
