8.3 Replacing the Z Belt
A brake is mounted on the motor of Joint #3 to prevent the shaft from moving down due to
the weight of the end effector while the power to the Controller is OFF or while the motor
is in OFF status (MOTOR OFF).
Note that the brake will not work during the replacement procedure.
Move the shaft down to its lower limit before the replacement procedure following the
instructions below:
(1) Turn ON the Controller.
(2) Push down the shaft to its lower limit while pressing the brake release button switch.
Be careful that the end effector does not hit any peripheral equipment.
The brake release button switch is applied to both Joints #3 and #4. When the brake
release button switch is pressed, the respective brakes of the Joints #3 and #4 are
released simultaneously.
Be careful of the shaft falling and rotating while the brake release button switch is
being pressed because the shaft may be lowered by the weight of an end effector.
(3) Turn
OFF
the
Controller.
