9.3 Robot Outer Link Cover Removal and Reinstallation
The robot outer link cover has special sealing hardware to ensure nothing can enter the inside
of the robot. If you need to remove the outer link cover from the robot for any reason, please fol-
low the procedures below.
Cover Removal Procedure
1.
Turn off main power to the robot.
2.
Turn off power to the optional SmartController EX, if one is being used.
3.
Turn off the air supply to the robot. Clean the exterior of the outer link thoroughly to
remove any dust or particles that might fall inside the robot when the cover is removed.
4.
Unscrew the collar nut on the top of the outer link. See Figure 9-8.
5.
Remove 2 screws and nylon washers on the top of the outer link.
6.
Remove 2 screws (one on each side) at the front of the outer link. Make sure the O-ring
on each screw stays in place and is not lost.
7.
For the 8 screws along the side of the cover (4 on each side; see Figure 9-8. ), loosen only
1 to 2 turns, just enough to loosen the inside clamp nuts. You do not want to completely
remove the screws. See the label on the side of the outer link cover.
!
CAUTION: PROPERTYDAMAGERISK
Do not loosen these screws any more than 2 turns, because the special
clamp nut on the inside of the cover might come loose and fall inside
the robot.
