How to replace the balancing
device, see
If dissonance is detected, perform
maintenance according to given
instructions in the maintenance set.
Check for dissonance from the piston rod (a
squeaking sound may indicate worn plain bear-

Inspection for damage
Check for damages, such as scratches, general wear, uneven surfaces or incorrect
positions.
Action
Inspection points
If damage is detected, perform
maintenance according to given
instructions in the maintenance set.
Check for damage on the part of the piston rod
that is visible on the balancing device.
1
Inspection for leakage
The upper and lower ears of the balancing devices are lubricated with grease.
Leaks at V-rings etc. are not acceptable and must be attended to immediately to
avoid damage to the bearing.
Note
Action
Wipe clean the area at the upper and lower ears
from contamination.
1
Run the robot for some minutes, in order to move
the balancing device piston.
2
DANGER
Turn off all:
•
electric power supply
•
hydraulic pressure supply
•
air pressure supply
to the robot, before entering the robot working
area.
3
Inspect the area around the lock nut and V-ring
at the upper and lower ear for leakage.
