Elimination/Action
Description
Warning
Make sure not to overfill the
gearbox when filling it with oil or
grease.
Overfilling of gearbox lubricant
can lead to internal over-pres-
sure inside the gearbox which in
turn may:
•
damage seals and gas-
kets
•
completely press out
seals and gaskets
•
prevent the robot from
moving freely.
Do not overfill
After filling, verify that the level
is correct.
When filling gearbox oil, do not
mix different types of oil unless
specified in the instructions. Al-
ways use the type of oil specified
by the manufacturer.
Mixing types of oil may cause
severe damage to the gearbox.
Do not mix types of oil
When changing gearbox oil, first
run the robot for a time to heat
up the oil.
Warm oil drains quicker than
cold oil.
Heat up the oil
After filling, verify that the level
is correct.
The specified amount of oil or
grease is based on the total
volume of the gearbox. When
changing the lubricant, the
amount refilled may differ from
the specified amount, depending
on how much has previously
been drained from the gearbox.
Specified amount de-
pends on drained
volume
When draining the oil make sure
that as much oil as possible is
drained from the gearbox. The
reason for this is to drain as
much oil sludge and metal chips
as possible from the gearbox.
The magnetic oil plugs will take
care of any remaining metal
chips.
