■ Inspecting the J2 axis timing belt
1) Confirm that the robot controller power is OFF.
2) Refer to
Page 66, "5.3.2 Installing/removing the cover"
, and remove the No.1 arm cover B.
3) Visually confirm that the symptoms indicated in
"(1)Timing belt replacement period"
have not occurred with
the timing belt <2>.
4) Check the belt tension as shown in
. Lightly press the center of the belt <A>, and
confirm that the value of belt slack is in following.

2) Lightly loosen the two idler installation bolts <1>. (Do not loosen too much.)
3) The nut which is fixing tension adjustment screw <3> is loosened, turn tension adjustment screw <3>, and
adjust the tension of timing belt <2>. When the screw is turned to the right, the belt will be stretched, and

Lightly press the center of the belt <A>, and confirm that the value of belt slack is in following.
RH-3SDHR3515 : Force to press the belt: apprpx.4N ･ m, Flexure: approx.1.6mm
If the belt is loosened too much when adjusting the tension causing it to come off the timing pulleys <4> and
<5>, or if the belt and pulley teeth engagement is deviated, the machine system's origin will deviate
4) After adjustment fastens the fixing nut of tension adjustment screw <3>, and certainly fixes tension
adjustment screw <3>. Moreover, also fasten idler fixing screw <1> certainly. (two pc.) Improper tightening can
