TUBING BUNDLE
INSTALLATION
Typically, the tubing bundle is pulled through the
robot arm from the robot wrist side. Keep the bundle
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-inch) of tubing
sticking out of the front of the wrist plate (see Figure
11).
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 appropriate 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 increase the service life of the tubes. A recom-
mended lubricant is Shell Alvania EP #02. There are
other lubricants that are available for use. Prior to
using a lubricant, ensure it is silicone free, resists heat
breakdown, and is compatible with the materials
being applied.
