Action
Connect another roundsling to the first one
with a shackle.
Attach the roundslings to an overhead
crane (or similar) and raise to take the
weight of the gearbox.
Remove the set collars.
Lift the gearbox off.
DANGER
Never remove both the axis-2 and axis-3 gearboxes at the same time. One of
the gearboxes must stay fitted when the other one is replaced. The complete
arm system will loose its connection to the frame and thereby be a great security
risk.
Note
The attachment screws that secure the gearboxes, are arranged in three areas,
with 15 screws in each area. It will not be possible to reach all screws with the
robot in only one position. Removal and refitting must be performed with the
robot in two different positions described in the procedures.
