S-Axis Grease Replenishment
1. Orient the S-Axis according to the posture chart that can be found in the manipulator manual. WARNING: Use of non-specified grease will void your warranty. CAUTION: If using a pneumatic grease pump, set the air supply pressure to 0.3MPa or less and the injection rate at 7g/s or less. NOTE: For ceiling-mounted robots, the outlet port and the grease inlet are inverted (the lower one is the inlet).
2. For floor mounted robot, orient the S-Axis such that it is at home position (0 degrees).
3. Locate the inlet, on the base plate, and exhaust, on the right side of the robots base just below where the wire harness enters the robot base.
4. Remove the exhaust plug. NOTE: If grease is injected without removing the exhaust plug, grease may leak inside the motor and/or damage the oil seal.
5. Remove the inlet plug.
6. Install A-PT3/8 grease zerk into the inlet and inject Molywhite RE No.00 grease. Inject approximately 700g or 840cc of grease. Stop injecting grease when a mixture of old grease and new grease in an equal ratio can be seen coming from the exhaust port.
7. Remove A-PT3/8 grease zerk from the inlet.
8. Wipe off excess grease from inlet port. Clean the inlet plug. Wrap seal tape, such as Three Bond TB4501, around the threads of the plug and reinstall in the inlet port. Torque (1.7 kg-m) the inlet plug.
9. Assemble a grease discharge unit. The components used are: • PT3/8 Union • Vacuum Pump • Reservoir • Tubing* * Tubing length must be 150mm or less and inside diameter must be 6mm or greater.
10. Weigh the empty grease reservoir and make note of its weight.
11. Install the grease discharge unit into the exhaust port of the S-Axis. Discharge grease by suctioning grease out of the exhaust port. Make sure to keep suction pressure at 0.025MPa or less. Stop suctioning when either the vacuum breaks or the desired amount of grease has been extracted. The amount of discharged grease for the S-Axis should be 25g (+/-5g) or 30cc (+/-5cc). Remove the grease discharge unit from the exhaust port.
12. Weigh the grease reservoir and calculate the amount of grease extracted by subtracting the empty reservoir weight obtained earlier.
13. If the amount of grease discharged from the S-Axis does not equal 25g (+/-5g) or 30cc (+/-5cc), operate the S-Axis again in teach mode, moving the S-Axis from -45 degrees to +45 degrees about 5 times.
14. Assemble a grease receiving unit. The components used are: • PT3/8 Union (inside dia. of at least 6mm) • Tubing (inside dia. of at least 6mm) • Plastic Bag • Tape Insert the tubing (approx. 4" in length) into the union. Place the bag over the opposite end of the tubing and use tape to secure bag to tubing. Make a small cut or puncture in the bag and mark its location so that it can be easily found.
15. Install the grease receiving unit into the exhaust port of the S-Axis. Perform a playback operation for 15 minutes. Teach points so that the S-Axis operates form -45 degrees to +45 degrees with a 1 second timer at each change of direction. Speed should be no greater than VJ=50.00. During this time, grease may be discharged.
16. Remove the grease receiving unit from the exhaust port. Wipe off excess grease from exhaust port. Clean the exhaust plug. Wrap seal tape, such as Three Bond TB4501, around the threads of the plug and reinstall in the exhaust port. Torque (1.7 kg-m) the exhaust plug.
