Please ensure the use of the specified lubricant. If lubricant replacement is needed, contact our technical service personnel. ...
Maintenance (9) Move the axis up and down several times to ensure the grease is evenly distributed, then wipe off any excess grease. When wiping off excess grease on the axis, please turn off the controller power and remove the top cover of the robot arm. Improper lubrication applications may increase the risk of rusting on the screw shaft.
Maintenance Bolt hole Figure 6.1 Diagram of bolt tightening Maintenance of timing belts Over time, the tension of the timing belt may decrease and will need to be re-tightened. When measuring the tension of the timing belt, it is preferable to measure the frequency (Hz). When using the frequency mode for measurement, no parameter setting is required on the tension meter.

Maintenance Root Crack Cracks in the roots Root Loss Exposed core wire Abnormal Wear Rounded edges, abnormal wear (core wire exposed). Note: A cut-like cross-section on the side is considered normal. Cracks on the side of the timing belt After the timing belt fails, it needs replacement. Following the replacement of the timing belt, it should be tensioned based on the tension force, and zero recalibration is required.
