2.1 Introduction
Safety information Before performing any work described in this manual, it is extremely important that
all safety information is observed!
There are general safety aspects that must be read through, as well as more specific
safety information that describes danger and safety risks when performing the
procedures. Read the Safety Manual before performing any service work.
WARNING! Before performing any work described in this manual, the Safety
Manual must be read and understood. Work must only be performed by skilled
personnel with the proper training.
Important: The description in this chapter is intended as a short reference and is no

substitute for reading the complete Safety Manual.
General hazards The following lists some of the most relevant hazards.
• Before you enter the spray booth, make sure that all robots and other equipment
have stopped, and also make sure that you wear appropriate safety clothes,
antistatic shoes, gloves, safety glasses, etc. In case of danger for toxic gases,
make sure that you wear appropriate safety equipment.
• Always attend to your personal safety.
• The motion of the manipulator is powerful. Always make sure that nobody is
within the reach of the robot when running the robot for test etc.
• The manipulator is normally installed in a hazardous area where there are risks
of explosion. Always consider these risks when working with the robot system
and bringing tools and equipment into the area.
• Always be aware of hazards associated with electric power when working with
the robot system.
• The use of thin layers of non-conductive plastics for covering parts of the
manipulator against exposure of coating materials must be avoided, as they
could present a hazard of propagating brush discharges.
• Releasing the robot axis brakes can be potentially dangerous. Never release the
brakes unless you know the risks involved.
• Electronic units are sensitive to static electricity. It is extremely important that
these units are handled with care in order not to damage the boards or introduce
errors.
• Do not disconnect any connectors, except service ports, while power is applied
to the controller.

2 Safety
2.1 Introduction
Specific hazards The following lists some hazards specific for the manipulator described in this
manual.
• Always be aware that the control system is controlling both the positioner robot
and the paint robot.
Observe before service Following points must be observed before any service work is started:
• Power may remain in the control cabinet even when the mains power switch is
turned ‘off’. To avoid hazards, see ‘Preparing the robot for service’ in Safety
manual.
• Turn ‘off’ all electric power, fluid supply and pneumatic pressure to the
manipulator.
• Residual energy may be present in pneumatic systems, so after shutdown,
particular care must be taken. The pressure in pneumatic systems must be
released before repair can be started. Dump valves should be used in case of
emergency.
• Motors and gears are HOT after running the manipulator. Touching the motors
and gears may result in burns. Allow motors and gears to cool down before
touching them.
• Take any necessary measures to ensure that the manipulator does not collapse as
parts are removed. All work described in this manual must be performed exactly
as described in the procedures.
• Removing an axis motor will disengage the brake function. For this reason, the
axis motor must never be removed while other repair work is being performed.
No other repair work must be performed if one or all of these motors are
removed.
• Use only items listed in the Spare Parts Catalogue to avoid possible damage to
the robot or degradation of its performance or affect the Ex certification of the
robot.
• To avoid contamination by dust etc., always clean outside of manipulator before
opening any cover.
• Avoid any contamination of the robot interior.
Observe before Following points must be observed before performing the first test run after a
concluding service service activity (installation, maintenance, repair):
• When reassembling components in the system, make sure that the components

3HNA018189-001 Rev.12
3.2 Basic Design
3.2.2 Design, 3 Axes Workpiece Positioner
Design The IRB 5320 3 axes workpiece positioner (1E11-2E21) consists of two turntables
mounted on an arm that can be rotated. The positioner is a manipulator (robot), that
serves the paint robot with workpieces (objects that shall be painted) and moves the
painted workpieces out of the painting zone.
The positioner is controlled by three servo axes, servo unit E11 and two servo units
E21. The positioner arm can be rotated with servo unit E11. Both arm ends contain a
servo unit E21 with a rotating turntable. The turntables can be equipped with a
spindle or fixture for arranging workpieces. Servo unit E11 positions one arm end
into the paint operation station and the other end into the loading/unloading station.
At the loading station, the workpieces are manually or automatically loaded on the
turntable. At the paint operation station, the paint robot paints the workpieces. In the
painting position, the turntable can be used to index the workpieces before or during
painting, or the turntable can spin the workpieces at a given rotation speed and
rotation direction during painting. When the painting operation is finished, the servo
unit E11 rotates the positioner arm and the painted workpieces are placed into the
unloading station.
Axes Overview The positioner is controlled by three servo axes.

3.7 The Axes Motors
3.7 The Axes Motors
General Each axis of the positioner has its own electric motor unit, including a synchronous
motor, a brake and a feedback device (resolver). The used motors are identical. The
drive shaft of the motor forms part of the gearbox.
The feedback device and brakes are installed by the supplier of the motor and
should never be removed from the motor. The complete motor assembly should be
replaced as a complete unit.
Motor Power Power is applied to the motors when the motor power button on the main panel is
pressed and either manual jogging or program execution is initiated.
Feedback Unit Each motor is equipped with a feedback unit (resolver) for the measuring system,
located on the end inside the motor. The feedback unit is connected to the motor
shaft. The purpose of the unit is to send feedback to the control electronics of the
position of the motor and thereby the positioner axis via the measuring board.
Axis Brakes Each motor is equipped with electrical holding brakes. The purpose of the brakes is
to hold the positioner in unchanged position when power is removed from the
motors. The brakes are active when no power is applied, and released (lifted) when
power is applied. The brakes are automatically released when power is applied to
the motor, but may also be released from the pendant or directly on the motor
connector etc. for service purposes. How to release the axis brakes for service
purposes is described in chapter ‘Repair’ in this manual.
Temperature Monitoring Each motor also includes a temperature sensor. If the temperature should increase
over a specified maximum, motor power will be removed and the brakes activated.
Commutation The motor does not need to be commutated (commutation value is 1.570800).

on page 47

3HNA018189-001 Rev.12
5.2 Positioning the Workpiece Positioner
5.2 Positioning the Workpiece Positioner
General The necessity of finding an exact position for the positioner depends largely on the
used paint robot and the safe loading/unloading station. The positioner is designed
to be mounted on a horizontal plane.
For information on working area for the positioner, see ’Working Area Drawing’ on
page 38.
Important Notes Following points should be observed when planning the position of the positioner
and trimming the positioner to the accurate position:
• The positioner must be positioned so that all surfaces to be painted can be

reached.
• The positioner must be positioned so that the working area encounters no
obstructions.
• The foundation must be strong enough to support the weight of the positioner. In
addition, the foundation should deflect as little as possible due to the dynamic
forces from the positioner. Recommended is a concrete base or a rigid steel
structure. For more information, see ’Mounting Base’ on page 43.
Installation Example An installation example for the positioner is shown in ’Installation Site Example’ on
page 126.

3HNA018189-001 Rev.12
5.3 Mounting Base
5.3 Mounting Base
General When designing a mounting base, following points must be kept in mind. For
information on weight, permitted loads etc., see ’Positioner Specifications’ on
page 33.
• The base must be strong enough to carry the weight of the positioner.
• The base must have a stiffness which will minimize swinging related to dynamic
forces in X, Y and Z direction. (A common mistake is to make the mounting
base too weak). Note that if the positioner is mounted to the same structure as the
paint robot, the workpiece may be influenced by the paint robot.
• If the base is built on H-bars etc., measures should be taken to prevent bending
which may cause oscillations when the positioner is moving.
• It is recommended that deflection of the structure does not exceed more than
±1.5mm at worst case scenario (emergency stop). Note that repeated identical
painting movement at a low frequency may match the natural frequency of a
weak under structure.
• The mounting surface should be horizontal.
Positioner The positioner is recommended to be installed on a steel plate mounted to concrete

or a rigid steel structure. The steel plate requires a thickness of minimum 12mm.
For drawing and dimensions of the servo unit, see ’Servo Unit E11 Specifications’
on page 35.
The M12 mounting screws, minimum quality 8.8, must be tightened with correct
torque, see ’Tightening torques’ on page 146. Add Kernite K-NATE NLGI-2 grease
to the screws to prevent corrosion.

3HNA018189-001 Rev.12

5.5 Electrical Connections
5.5 Electrical Connections
General Connections on the positioner have been made before shipment. The positioner
cable needs to be installed in the control cabinet.
Check Connection The attachment clamps for the positioner cable may have been disrupted during
handling and transportation of the positioner. It is for this reason important that the
connector connections and the securing of the cables are checked to prevent faulty
operation of the positioner due to noise related to a poorly grounded cable screen,
etc.
Remove cover on positioner servo unit E11. Inspect connectors and check that the
cable bracket is firmly secured. Re-install cover and tighten attachment screws.
Also check that ground cable is connected to grounding clamp beside cable inlet.

5.6 Concluding Activities
5.6.1 IRB 5320 1 Axis Workpiece Positioner
Turntable The 1 axis positioner is equipped with a covering plate upon the rotating axis. A
customer designed turntable, that may be specially designed for specific
workpieces, can be installed upon the covering plate. For specifications on the
covering plate and attachment screws, see ’Servo Unit E11 Specifications’ on
page 35.
Calibration Marks To enable calibration of the 1 axis positioner, calibration marks must be applied on
the positioner:
1. Place the axis 1 in +180°.
2. Mark the turntable and the servo unit E11 such that these markings are aligned
when the axis 1 is in +180° position.
3. Calibrate the axis in this position.
5.6.2 General
Protections The positioner can be installed to operate under many different environmental
conditions and performing different type of operations. Some of these environments
and operations may include use of fluids which can be damaging to the positioner or
parts of it.
It is for this reason strongly recommended that the positioner is protected as

required by applying grease film or other means to avoid damages such as
corrosion, solvent entering into the servo units, etc. Use of plastic protection should
be avoided.

6 Preventive Maintenance
6.1 Introduction
6.1 Introduction
About this Chapter This chapter provides instructions for performing scheduled preventive
maintenance on the workpiece positioner.
The preventive maintenance is based on a maintenance chart with information about

required maintenance activities including intervals, and references to procedures for
the activities.
Note that the intervals described are recommended intervals. The intervals needed
for your installation may vary, depending on environmental conditions, number of
working hours etc. The maintenance routines in this description must be seen in
relation to the plant’s own maintenance routines for the paint equipment.
WARNING! No maintenance work must be performed on the positioner before the

safety guidelines in the ‘Safety Manual’ and ’Safety’ on page 11 have been read and
understood. Work must only be performed by skilled personnel with the proper
training.
General Considerations The prime objective of any preventive maintenance program is to ensure maximum
system availability. Each scheduled and properly performed preventive maintenance
activity should assist in realizing this objective. Preventive maintenance that does
not reduce system downtime is unnecessary and costly.
The positioner and paint system are designed to be able to work under very
demanding conditions with a minimum of maintenance. Nevertheless, certain
routine checks and preventative maintenance must be carried out at given periodical
intervals.
When performing routine maintenance or repair work, a number of precautions

must be kept in mind to avoid introducing additional errors into the system.
• Do not perform more than recommended preventive maintenance on equipment

which is working satisfactorily.
• Wipe all surfaces clean before starting maintenance procedures.
• To avoid unnecessary contamination by dust etc., always clean outside of control
cabinet and positioner before opening doors and covers.

6.3 General Maintenance
General Following points should be checked / attended to as often as required.
Cleaning the Positioner Dust on the manipulator surface causes a risk for static electricity. It is therefore
important to clean the manipulator surface regularly. Wipe all surfaces clean using a
wet lint-free cloth. Solvents may be used but with care. Strong solvents such as
acetone etc. should be avoided. High pressure cleaning devices may be used in the
spray booth, but spraying directly on the positioner should be avoided. If the
positioner is protected by a grease film or other means, replace as required. (Use of
plastic protection should be avoided.)
When the positioner is used in combination with powder coating applications,

special attention is required for cleaning the space beneath the turntables.
WARNING! To avoid static electricity, always use a wet or moist cloth on non
conductive surfaces such as paint equipment, hoses etc. Do not use a dry cloth.
Check Regularly Following points should be checked as often as required:
• Check for oil leaks. If a major oil leak is discovered, call for service personnel.
• Check for excessive play in gears. If this develops, call for service assistance.
• Check that cables between control cabinet, purge unit and positioner are not
damaged.
• In case of electrostatic spraying, daily check the grounding of the workpieces
(< 1MΩ).
Check Foundation Fastening screws and clamps which fasten the positioner in position to the
Attachment Screws foundation must be kept clean for corrosive fluids such as water, basic solutions and
acid solutions. This to avoid corrosion of security parts. If the corrosion protection
such as zinc coat or paint have been damaged, parts must be cleaned and covered by
anti-corrosive paint.

7.1 Introduction
About this Chapter This chapter details all repair activities recommended for the workpiece positioner.
It is made up of separate procedures, each detailing a specific repair activity. Each

procedure contains all information required to perform the activity, such as required
tools and items.
WARNING! No repair work must be performed on the positioner before the safety
guidelines in the Safety Manual and ’Safety’ on page 11 have been read and
understood. Work must only be performed by skilled personnel with the proper
training.
Organization of The procedures are divided into a procedure for removal and a procedure for
Procedures installation. At the start of each procedure, a reference list shows information
located other places in the manual than in the procedure. If you want to print out a
procedure, you should also print the information referred to under reference to get
all information you need to perform the repair operation.
The manual describes the type of service work that can be carried out by the
customer´s own service staff on site. Certain types of work, requiring special
experience or special aids, are not dealt with in the manual. In such cases, the
defective module or component should be replaced on site. The faulty item should
be sent to your local ABB organization for service.
Replacement Items Make sure that any replacement items are available before performing any repair
procedures. Use only replacement items listed in the spare parts catalogue.
Purge System During operation, the positioner is supplied by compressed air. For this reason, the
positioner can not operate unless all covers are in place and properly sealed.
Missing screws will cause air leaks and result in increased air consumption or
failure in the purge system.

Operator If the loading/unloading station is part of the hazardous area, it needs to be

adequately separated from the paint operation station, to ensure a safe environment
for the operator to load and unload workpieces. The operator must use protective
clothing as required.
Hazardous Area To enable the operator to enter the loading/unloading station requires an opening
between the hazardous and non-hazardous areas. A risk analysis must therefore be
carried out with respect to the hazardous areas.
Entrance Detection The loading/unloading station must be equipped with an entrance detection, like
door switch or light curtain, to enable the supervision system to detect if the
operator has entered the loading/unloading station. The entrance detection must be
part of the Auto mode stop chain, as shown in Figure 67.
Motion Detection The loading/unloading station must be equipped with a motion detection, to enable
the supervision system to detect if the positioner arm is not in home position, that

means that the positioner arm is moving or that no positioner turntable is located at
the loading/unloading station. The motion detection must be part of the Auto mode
stop chain, as shown in Figure 67.
Emergency Stop The loading/unloading station and operating panel must be equipped with an
emergency stop button, to enable the operator to stop all processes in case of an
emergency.
Auto Mode Stop Chain The entrance and motion detection, load ready and Load / Run key switch signals
are part of the Auto mode stop chain.

8.4 Creating a Paint Program
8.4.1 Introduction
Brief Description This section describes how to create a paint program for the positioner, using
absolute and continuous movement instructions.
The installation consists of a 6 axes paint robot with an IRB5320 3 axes positioner.
The programming is performed without any framework that would otherwise help
in reducing the codebase for a complete positioner system. (E.g. move the axis 1
automatically before each paint program.)
Since it is not possible to program Rapid Functions from the PTPU, some Paint
specific support procedures must be used instead. If not, this part of the
programming must be done offline.
Some functions normally used to program independent axes have been ‘wrapped’ in
procedures shown below in order to avoid the Function type, which can not be used
on the PTPU.
Wait until positioner axis n has reached a given position:

proc WaitOBPInPos(num nAxis)
WaitUntil IndInpos(OBP, nAxis);
endproc
Wait until positioner axis n has reached a given speed:

proc WaitOBPInSpeed(num nAxis)
WaitUntil IndSpeed(OBP, nAxis \InSpeed);
endproc
Wait until positioner axis n has reached a zero speed:

proc WaitOBPZeroSpeed(num nAxis)
WaitUntil IndSpeed(OBP, nAxis \ZeroSpeed);
endproc
Reference The functions IndInpos and IndSpeed are described in ‘Technical reference manual,
RAPID Instructions, Functions and Data types’.
Special Requirements The control cabinet must be installed with the option Independent Movement.
RobotWare 5.14.03 and later is required to utilize the positioner support procedures.

3HNA018189-001 Rev.12
8 Operation
8.4.2 Create the Program
Precondition The turntable axis 2 or axis 3 located in the loading station is loaded with a
workpiece.
The controller is in Manual mode, and ready for teaching.
Procedure The procedure describes how to create a program.
1. In order to separate the positioner from any subsequent paint robot movement
instructions (MoveAbsJ/PaintL, etc.), the axes need to be put into independent
mode, by using any independent move instruction.
A common way is to set the speed of the axes to zero like this:
IndCMove OBP,1,0;
IndCMove OBP,2,0;
IndCMove OBP,3,0;
WaitOBPZeroSpeed 1;
WaitOBPZeroSpeed 2;
WaitOBPZeroSpeed 3;
2. Move the paint robot to an appropriate waiting position near the positioner, and
insert a movement instruction (e.g. MoveAbsJ).
Remember to use a fine point for this instruction to prevent the positioner
movement from happening too early in the next step.
3. Insert an IndAMove instruction to turn the axis 1 of the positioner such that the
workpiece on the turntable axis 2 or axis 3 is placed into the paint operation
station, like this example:
IndAMove OBP,1\ToAbsNum:= 0,50;
WaitOBPInPos 1;
If the paint robot is located on the other side of the positioner, a 180 degree
variant must be used:
IndAMove OBP,1\ToAbsNum:=180,50;
4. Continuous rotation of the turntable axis 2 or axis 3 of the positioner can then
be started like this:
IndCMove OBP,2,20;
WaitOBPInSpeed 2;
5. Now, PaintL and SetBrush instructions can be inserted to paint the workpiece.
Remember to use a fine point for the last instruction to prevent the positioner
from stopping too early in the next step.

3HNA018189-001 Rev.12
8 Operation
6. After painting is done, the rotating turntable can be stopped like this:
IndCMove OBP,2,0;
WaitOBPZeroSpeed 2;
7. In order to prevent the turntable axis of the positioner from spinning into the
revolution limit, a ‘reset’ instruction can be inserted at the end of the program:
IndReset OBP,2\RefNum:=0\Short;

3HNA018189-001 Rev.12
8 Operation
8.4.3 Test/Step Through the Program in Manual Mode
workpiece.
The controller is in Manual mode.
Procedure The procedure describes how to step through the program in manual mode in order
to test the program.
1. On the Paint TPU, load the created program into the memory using the program
editor.
2. Stepping through the program should result in continuously moving, stopping

and starting in the same pace as the PaintL/paint robot movements.
3. Run the program continuously from start to end.
8.4.4 Run the Program in Automatic Mode
workpiece.
The controller is running in Automatic mode.
Procedure On the Paint TPU, load the created program into the job queue using the Production
screen.

10.2 Configurations for weak foundations
10.2 Configurations for weak foundations
General Manipulator mounted on weak foundation requires special attention. If the

manipulator movement during a paint program causes the foundation to vibrate,
resonance of the manipulator arms will occur. This resonance causes overshoots of
the programmed path.
Vibration compensation Compensation of foundation vibration is accomplished by using the TUNE_DH

RAPID instruction.
The TUNE_DH RAPID instruction is the best remedy to compensate foundation

vibrations and to reduce path errors. A tune value less than 100% decreases the
bandwidth of the system and increases the smoothness, thereby reducing overshoots
and vibrations. TUNE_DH is normally more cycle time efficient than using AccSet.
For information on the TUNE_DH instruction, see ‘Technical reference manual -

RAPID Instructions, Functions and Data types’, Instructions / TuneServo - Tuning
Servos / Reduce overshoots and vibrations - TUNE_DH.
Important: Do not use SoftServo to compensate for foundation vibrations, as this

introduces unfavorable servo lag. Especially in combination with SafeMove, servo
lag is unacceptable.
Simplified tuning If an accelerometer is not available or on-site tuning is not possible, perform
procedure following simplified DH tuning procedure:
1. Run the customer paint program. Perform visual inspection of vibration.
2. Stop the robot, the RAPID instruction must only be executed when the
manipulator is standing still. (This is also applicable for the TuneReset
command.)
3. If the vibrations are too large, add following instruction to the RAPID program:
TuneServo ROB_1,1, 20\Type:=TUNE_DH
(TUNE_DH applied for axis 1, 20 means DH adjusted to 20%)
Note: Although TUNE_DH is applied for axis 1 only, changes of the

bandwidth are affected to all axes (whole robot/controller is subject to DH
changes). DH is a controllable factor of bandwidth of the system controller
(system response speed). A typical DH value range is: 10 – 100. In this case, it
is recommended to start tuning with a 20% value. The DH_value can only be
lowered.
4. Run the customer paint program again. Perform visual inspection of vibration.
5. If the vibrations are still too large, reduce the DH value.

10.3 Mounting instructions for bearings
10.3 Mounting instructions for bearings
General This section details how to mount and grease different types of bearings on the
manipulator.
Mounting Following points must be observed when mounting a bearing on the manipulator.
• To avoid contamination, let a new bearing remain in its wrapping until it is time
for fitting.
• Ensure that all parts included in the bearing fitting are free from burrs, grinding
waste and other contamination. Cast components must be free from foundry
sand.
• Bearing rings, inner rings and roller elements must under no circumstances be
subjected to direct impact. Furthermore, the roller elements must not be exposed
to any stresses during the assembly work.
Following additional points must be observed for tapered bearings to enable the
roller elements to adjust to the correct position against the race flange.
• The bearing must be tensioned gradually until the recommended pre-tension is

achieved.
• The roller elements must be rotated a specified number of turns before pre-
tensioning is carried out, and also rotated during the pre-tensioning sequence.
• Make sure that the bearing is properly aligned, as this will directly affect the
lifespan of the bearing.
Greasing Following points must be observed when greasing a bearing.
• The bearings must not be completely filled with grease. However, if space is
available beside the bearing fitting, the bearing may be totally filled with grease
when mounted, as excessive grease will be pressed out from the bearing when
the robot is started.
• During operation, the bearing should be filled to 70-80% of the available
volume.
• Ensure that grease is handled and stored properly, to avoid contamination.

3HNA018189-001 Rev.12
10.4 Mounting instructions for seals
General A common cause of leakage in seals is incorrect fitting. This section details how to
mount different types of seals on the manipulator.
General precautions Following points must be observed before commencing any assembling of seals.
• Protect the sealing surfaces during transport and mounting.

• Keep the seal in the original wrappings or protect it well before actual mounting.
• If the fitting of seals and gears is not performed directly on the robot, the fitting
must be carried out on a clean workbench.
• Use a protective sleeve for the seal during mounting, when sliding over threads,
keyways, etc.
Rotating seals The instruction below details how to fit rotating seals.
1. Check the seal to ensure that the seal is of the correct type (provided with
cutting edge), and that there is no damage to the sealing edge (feel with a
fingernail).
2. Inspect the sealing surfaces before mounting. If scratches or damage are found,
the seal must be replaced, as it may result in future leakage.
3. Lubricate the seal with grease just before fitting. (Not too early as there is a risk
of dirt and foreign particles adhering to the seal.) Fill the space between the
dust tongue and sealing lip to 2/3 with grease. The rubber coated external
diameter must also be greased, unless otherwise specified.
4. Mount the seal correctly using a mounting tool. Never hammer directly on the
seal, as this may result in leakage.
Flange seals and static The instruction below details how to fit flange seals and static seals.
seals
1. Check the flange surfaces. They must be even and free from pores. It is easy to
check flatness using a gauge on the fastened joint (without sealing compound).
If the flange surfaces are defective, the parts may not be used, because leakage
could occur.
2. Clean the surfaces properly.
3. Distribute the sealing compound evenly over the surface, preferably with a
brush.
4. Tighten the screws evenly when fastening the flange joint.

3HNA018189-001 Rev.12
O-rings The instruction below details how to fit o-rings.
1. Ensure that the correct o-ring size is used.
2. Check the o-ring for surface defects, burrs, shape accuracy, etc. Defective
o-rings must not be used.
3. Check the o-ring grooves. The grooves must be geometrically correct and free
from pores and contamination. Defective o-rings must not be used.
4. Lubricate the o-ring with Grease, free of products that may react with paint, ie.
grease free of silicone, perfluorinated polyether, etc.
5. Tighten the screws evenly when assembling.

10.8 Safety instructions for replacing oil in gearboxes
10.8 Safety instructions for replacing oil in gearboxes
Description When handling the gearbox oil, there are several dangers to both personal injuries
and product damages. Following safety information must be regarded before
performing any work with the oil in the gearboxes.
• Changing and draining gearbox oil may require handling hot oil of up to 90 °C.
Make sure that protective gear like goggles and gloves are worn during this
activity.
• When opening the oil plug, there may be pressure present in the gearbox,
causing oil to spray from the opening. Open oil plug carefully and keep away
from the opening.
• Overfilling of gearbox oil can lead to internal high pressure inside the gearbox
which in turn may damage seals and gaskets, completely press out seals and
gaskets and/or prevent the manipulator from moving freely. Make sure not to
overfill the gearbox. After filling, check that the oil level is correct.
• Mixing types of oil may cause severe damage to the gearbox. When filling
gearbox oil, do not mix different types of oil. Always use the specified oil type.
• Warm oil drains quicker than cold oil. When changing gearbox oil, first run the
robot for a time to heat up the oil.
• The specified amount of oil is based on the total volume of the gearbox. When
changing the oil, the amount of refilled oil may differ from the specified amount,
depending on how much oil has previously been drained from the gearbox. After
refilling, check the oil level.
