Adept Viper s1700D Robot User’s Guide, Rev A 65
1. Position the 3rd-axis arm horizontally to the ground.
2. Remove the hexagon socket head cap screw on the grease exhaust port.
3. Remove the hexagon socket head plug (PT 1/8) on the grease inlet and install the
grease zerk (A-MT6X1).
4. Inject the grease (approximately 300 cc, VIGO Grease RE No. 0) into the grease
inlet using a grease gun. The grease exchange is complete when new grease
appears in the grease exhaust port. The new grease can be distinguished from the
old grease by color.
5. Move the 3rd-axis for a few minutes to discharge the excess grease.
6. Remove the grease zerk on the grease inlet and reinstall the hexagon socket head
cap plug (PT 1/8). Prior to installation, coat the screw threads with Three Bond
1206C.
7. Wipe the grease exhaust port with a cloth and reinstall the hexagon socket head
cap screw on the grease exhaust port. Prior to installation, coat the screw threads
with Three Bond 1206C.
CAUTION: For ceiling-mounted robots, the exhaust port
and grease inlet are inverted.
WARNING: If grease is added without removing the
hexagon socket head cap screw, the grease will go inside
the motor and may damage it. It is absolutely necessary to
remove the plug.
