Maintenance 10. Ball Screw Spline Unit
G10 / G20 Rev.20 205
10.2.2 Replacing the Ball Screw Spline Unit: G20
A brake is mounted on the motor of Joints #3 and #4 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 starting the replacement procedure by
following the removal steps from (1) to (3).
