What to do if Brooks Robotics pneumatic gripper sensor not working?
If the pneumatic gripper sensor is not working on your Brooks Robotics system, check the continuity of the cable through the wrist. Also, check the green lights on the sensor to see if the sensor is triggering.
How to clean brown streaks on Brooks PreciseFlex 400 Robotics linear bearing?
To clean brown streaks on a linear bearing of Brooks Robotics, clean with alcohol and add grease to the bearing blocks.
How to resolve Brooks PreciseFlex 400 Robotics E-Stop not enabled?
Check both the Phoenix plug and 9 pin Dsub for E-Stop jumpers.
How to fix Brooks PreciseFlex 400 encoder quadrature error?
To fix an encoder quadrature error on Brooks Robotics, replace the slip ring. You may also need to replace the motor/encoder, but only for the Gripper motor.
What to do if Brooks Robotics encoder battery down?
If the encoder cable has been disconnected on your Brooks Robotics system, recalibrate the robot. If the battery voltage has dropped below 2.5V, replace the encoder battery and recalibrate the robot.
How to address time out nulling error on Brooks PreciseFlex 400?
To address a time out nulling error on Brooks Robotics, check that the joint is free to move with the brake off. Ensure the joint is not vibrating or unstable; if unstable, check the belt tension. If it is the gripper, replace the slip ring after confirming that the brake releases.
How to resolve Brooks PreciseFlex 400 Robotics encoder communication error?
To resolve an encoder communication error on Brooks Robotics, check that the FPGA code is dated Jan 25, 2012 or later. Check the encoder connectors on the flat ribbon cable. Replace the encoder cable or motor/encoder.
What causes Brooks PreciseFlex 400 Robotics encoder data limit error?
An encoder data limit error on Brooks Robotics may be caused by a damaged encoder accel/decel cable, leading to intermittent communication and apparent jumps in position. Check that the FPGA code is dated Jan 25, 2012 or later and upgrade if necessary. Check encoder connectors on the flat ribbon cable, and replace the cable or motor if needed.
How to fix squeaking from Z belt on Brooks PreciseFlex 400 Robotics?
To fix squeaking from the Z belt on Brooks Robotics, apply thick grease to the front and rear edges of the belt, (Mobile 222 XP). The belt can get stiff over time and squeak against pulley flanges.
What to do if Brooks PreciseFlex 400 Robotics joint is out of range?
If a joint on your Brooks Robotics system is out of range, it may be beyond the software limit stop. Move the joint back into range while monitoring the virtual pendant, or check the program for the commanded position.
