Action
Inspect the DressPack upper arm installa-
tion before programming and test-running.
Make a check of the operating cycle of the
robot, to make sure that the movement
pattern of the wrist does not cause extens-
ive wear or strain of the cable package.
Make sure that the upper arm protective
hose does not get flattened during rotating
upper arm movements.
If any of the actions recommended above,
causes a change of the DressPack installa-
tion, it must be reinspected.
Make sure that no parts of the DressPack
are in contact with the surroundings.
(Only applicable if process cable support
axis 6 is used!)
Make sure no combined rotating move-
ments of axes 5 and 6 causes collisions
between the cables/hoses or the process
cable support axis 6, and the upper arm.
Such movements may also cause excessive
cable/hose bending.

ment pattern.
Flattening indicates an overstressed hose
and increases the risk of damaging the
DressPack upper arm.
See section Inspection, DressPack upper
arm on page 72.
Collisions and excessive bending will in-
crease the risk of damaging the equip-
ment.
Minimum bending radius: 10x cable/hose
diameter.
