Periodic Inspection
The following inspections should be performed regularly:
1. Visually check leads, cables and rubber components. Replace any cables which show
signs of abrasion or wear.
2. Check all bolts and screws in the robot arm using a wrench and screwdriver. Retighten as
needed.
3. Check all the tension of robot arm belts. When you press on a belt, the slack should be no
greater than 2mm (0.08"). Refer to Figure 14.
Qualified Technician Only: Tighten the belts only if you are absolutely certain they are
slipping or retarding the motors. For complete information, refer to the section,
“Adjustments and Repairs,” later in this chapter.
4. Qualified Technician Only: Check for excessive backlash in the base axis. For complete
information, refer to the section, “Adjustments and Repairs,” later in this chapter.
