10.8 Cleaning and preventive maintenance
Warning!
Turn the main switch on the robot control cabinet to “OFF” and secure it with a
padlock to prevent unauthorized persons from switching it on again. This also
applies to any cleaning work which, though not performed directly on the robot,
is carried out within or close to its working range.
Cleaning and preventive maintenance work is to be carried out in accordance with the follow-
ing instructions:
-- Clean robot with a cloth soaked with washing agent.
-- Clean cables, painted surfaces, plastic parts and hoses with solvent--free washing
agents.
Information!
The manufacturer’ s instructions are to be observed when using washing agents.
-- Remove any lubricant that has escaped using washing agent. If a large amount
of lubricant has emerged, trace and remedy the cause.
Notice!
It must be ensured that no washing fluid enters bearings, seals or electrical
equipment.
Information!
If washing agent does enter bearings, these must be re--greased or re--oiled.
-- Remove any corrosion and − where permissible − protect the affected areas with
paint, grease or oil.
-- Apply a thin coat of oil to bare metal parts.
-- Replace damaged, illegible or missing inscriptions, labels and plates.
Notice!
Do not use compressed air to clean the system, as this could cause dirt to pene-
trate seals, bearings and electrical components.
Used cleaning agents and lubricants must be stored and disposed of in
accordance with all pertinent regulations and with minimum environmental
impact.
