3.4.3 Changing the oil, axis-1 gearbox on suspended robots
Floor mounted or suspended robot
Depending on whether the robot is floor mounted or suspended, the method of
changing the oil is different.
How to change oil if the robot is floor mounted, see
on floor mounted robots on page
Location of oil plugs
The axis-1 gearbox is located between the frame and base of the robot. The oil
plugs are shown in the figures.

Note
The method of changing oil on the axis-1 gearbox is different on Type C and
Type D compared to Other design than Type C and Type D.
Note
Only valid for Type C and Type D!
If the robot has design Type C and Type D the basic method to change oil in a
suspended robot of this type, when still mounted in a suspended position, is to
fill the same amount of oil that was drained. Measure the amount of oil that was
drained and make a note of the result. The same amount shall later be refilled.
Note
Use correct oil plugs for filling and draining depending on which position the
robot is mounted:
Floor mounted:
• Draining = Oil plug on gearbox.
• Filling = Oil plug on surface for motor flange.
Mounted in suspended position:
• Filling = Oil plug on surface for motor flange.
• Draining = Oil plug on surface for motor flange.
