Installation
considerations
The internal air line normally used to supply the internally-mounted
hand valves (Option Kit p/n 02853-000) is instead used to provide
vacuum to the bellows/outer link. One of the passive 6 mm user air lines
would need to be used instead.
Performance con-
siderations
The air exhausting from the internally-mounted hand valves (Option Kit
p/n 02853-000) may be of sufficient quantity/ quality to cause the robot to
exceed Class 10 Particulate Limits.
Recommendation For these reasons, we recommend mounting hand valves externally.
10.4 Cleanroom Maintenance
Bellows Replacement
Check the bellows periodically for cracks, wear, or damage. Replace bellows (p/n 04625-000) if
necessary, using the procedure below.
1.
Remove the lower bellows clamp ring from the bearing ring by loosening the screw on
the clamp. See Figure 10-3.
2.
Remove the tool flange.
For the tool flange removal procedure, refer to Removing and Installing the Tool Flange
on page 123.
3.
Remove the upper bellows clamp ring by loosening the screw on the clamp.
4.
Slide the old bellows down off of the quill.
