Bellows Kit Installation Procedure

Use the following procedure to install bellows.
Precautions for Correct Use
• Never loosen or remove the quill clamp collar while the z-axis brake is released.
• The z-axis stroke is reduced when bellows are present. Bellows reduce the travel by 27 mm
(180 mm quill length) / 53 mm (350 mm quill length) in the z-axis retracted position and 27
mm (180 mm quill length) / 53 mm (350 mm quill length) in the z-axis extended position. Al-
ways adjust joint motion limits with software settings in the robot configuration area when bel-
lows are installed to restrict range of motion. Refer to the Sysmac Studio Robot Integrated
System Building Function with Robot Integrated CPU Unit Operating Manual (Cat. No. W595)
for more information.
The following items are required for this procedure.
• Bellows kit. Refer to 1-6-7 Bellows Kit on page 1-21 for more information.
• Torque wrench.
• 2.5 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm hex bits.
• T8 torx bit.
Make the following considerations before installing the bellows.
• If cables or tubing are routed through the center of the quill, they must be removed before beginning
this procedure.
• The tool flange must be removed. Make all necessary preparations and considerations before re-
moving the tool flange.
• The outer link cover must be removed. Make all necessary preparations and considerations before
removing the outer link cover.
• This procedure installs the upper bellows first and then the lower bellows next.
• To simplify installation, the Joint 3 quill should be positioned in approximately the middle position be-
fore beginning this procedure.
• The upper and lower bellows are identical and interchangeable.
