Inspecting oil level, axis-1 gearbox (suspended robot)
Use this procedure to inspect the oil level in the axis-1 gearbox, when the robot is
suspended.
This procedure is only valid for
Other design than Type C
.
Note
If the suspended robot is design
Type C
, the oil level can not be inspected while
the robot is hanging upside down. To make sure that the correct amount of oil
is refilled after some repair work, make a note of how much oil was drained and
make sure to refill with the same amount. If in doubt, the suspended robot must
be dismantled from its suspended position, secured in a floor mounted position,
and then the oil level can be inspected according to
level in a floor mounted robot on page 115
.
Note
If the suspended robot is
Other design than Type C
, and the axis-1 gearbox is
filled with an amount of oil suited for an inverted position, the oil level can only
be inspected in the inverted position! If the robot was taken down to stand on
the floor, the oil level would be above the oil plug hole, which would result in oil
leakage if the plug would be opened while robot stands on the floor!

Action
WARNING
Handling gearbox oil involves several safety
risks. Before proceeding, please read the

DANGER
Turn off all:
•
electric power supply
•
hydraulic pressure supply
•
air pressure supply
to the robot, before entering the robot
working area.
2
CAUTION
The gearbox can contain an
excess of
pressure
that can be hazardous. Open the
oil plug carefully in order to let out the ex-
cess pressure.
