Replacing the tool flange
The tool flange, like other spare parts and tools, may be ordered from Universal
Robots.
Tools required:
5,5 mm open-ended spanner, flat model, e.g. USAG 250 N
Torx T10 screwdriver
Torque wrench with a 5,5mm jaw.
The procedure for replacing the tool flange is the same as for replacing a joint – see
page 8.
The robot must always be disconnected from the power supply before any work is
carried out on the robot’s mechanical components.
Turn off the robot using the touch screen and remove the plug from the socket
supplying the robot.
When the tool flange is fitted to the joint, it is important that the wires are not caught
up.
If necessary, rotate the tool flange one whole turn in relation to the joint in order to
make the wires twist and so be positioned in the middle under the tool flange when it
is fitted on the joint.
Connect the (connector) terminals as shown in the image below.
When fitting the tool flange on the joint, tighten the screws to 0.5 Nm and then to 1.0
Nm.
