3.3.4. Cleaning of manipulator
General
Depending on the protection class, different methods of cleaning the manipulator are allowed.
This section describes how to clean
• the Standard version
• the Foundry version
Standard version
The protection class is IP54.
The exterior of the robot should be cleaned as required. Use a vacuum cleaner or wipe it with
a cloth. Do not use compressed air and harsh solvents that can damage the sealing joints,
bearings, lacquer or cabling.
Foundry version
The protection class is IP 67, which means that the manipulator is watertight.
