Method 2: Suctioning grease out
(1) Keep the inlet open and insert the tube into the exhaust port.
(2) Discharge grease by suctioning grease out of the exhaust port.
(Suction pressure: 0.025 MPa or less)
(3) If grease is not discharged by suctioning, operate the manipulator
again about 5 times in the teach mode as shown in
“Teaching Operation for Each Axis”
.
9. For the axis where grease is exchanged, perform a playback operation
indicated in
table 4-5 “Running- In Operation for Each Axis”
for
running-in the speed reducer with grease.
At this time, grease may be discharged during the operation. Remove
the grease zerk from the grease inlet, and clean and degrease the tap
part and the thread part of the plug. Wrap the seal tape TB4501
around the plug, and then attach it to the grease inlet. Tighten the plug
with the tightening torque shown in
Tightening Torque for Each Axis”
. Also, discharge the excess grease
in order not to increase the inner pressure of the speed reducer.
Attach a bag to receive grease such as indicated in
, and then perform the running-in operation.
