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.
