TUBING BUNDLE
INSTALLATION
Typically, the tubing bundle is pulled through the
robot arm from the robot wrist side. Keep the bun-
dle taped except for the portion of the bundle that
will be inside the arm. Pull the tubing through the
wrist and arm, leaving about 250mm (10-inches)
of tubing sticking out the front of the wrist plate
(see Figure109).
Fasten the cable bundle in the robot at the rear
exit of the arm. Push the robot spacer plate and
applicator mounting plate to the robot wrist plate
aligning the top dead center marks of the spacer
plate and robot wrist plate. Fasten using appro-
priate screws. Installing the tubing bundle in this
fashion will increase tubing bundle life significantly.

BUNDLE LUBRICATION
When the tubing bundle is installed, it should be
lubricated with a generous amount of lubricant to in-
crease the service life of the tubes. A recommended
lubricant is Shell Alvania EP #02. There are other
lubricants that are available for use. Prior to using
a lubricant, insure it is silicone free, resists heat
breakdown, and is compatible with the materials
being applied.
