User Air Lines

On the back of the robot base, the user air line connectors are fitted with removable plugs at
the factory—see Figure 9-9.

The user air line connectors on the outer link are accessible with the cover removed. See Figure
9-10
for locations of the internal connectors. See Removing/Installing Outer Link Cover on
page 128
for instructions on removing and re-installing the outer link cover.

CAUTION: Failure to prevent water intrusion through
improperly sealed external fittings will void your
warranty.

Robot Solenoid Option

In an IP-65 robot, if you are installing the internally mounted solenoid valves (Adept Option
Kit p/n 02853-000), you must use a different air line than described in Installing Robot
Solenoid Kit on page 85
.

The internal air line normally used to supply the solenoid manifold is instead used to provide
positive airflow pressure to the bellows and outer link. You can use one of the passive 6 mm
user air lines shown in Figure 9-9 and Figure 9-10 for the solenoid connection.

9.8 Maintenance

Replacing IP-65 Bellows

Check the bellows, Adept p/n 04625-000, periodically for cracks, wear, or damage. Replace
bellows, if necessary, using the following procedure:

1. Remove the lower bellows clamp by removing two M3 screws and pulling the clamp

apart. See Figure 9-11.

2. Remove the tool flange. Refer to Removing and Installing the Tool Flange on page 75 for

the tool flange removal procedure.

3. Remove the upper bellows clamp by removing two M3 screws and pulling the clamp

apart.

4. Slide the old bellows down off of the quill.

5. Install a new bellows by sliding it up onto the quill.

6. Re-install the upper bellows clamp.

l

You must align mating surface of the clamp half-rings with the bellows seam -
see Figure 9-12.

l

Tighten the screw to secure the bellows.

7. Re-install the tool flange.

8. Place new gaskets in the bottom bellows clamp.
