3.2 Interior Inspection
Turn off the power, remove the screw cover, and visually check the interior.
Check the following items.
Actuator Looseness of robot mounting bolts, etc.
Guides Lubrication condition, soiling
Ball screw Lubrication condition, soiling
Visually inspect the interior to see if there is any dust or foreign matter in the robot. Also check the
lubrication. Even if the grease you see around the parts is brown, the lubrication is fine as long as the
traveling surface appears shiny. If the grease becomes dirty and dull or if the grease has worn away
due to long hours of use, lubricate the parts after cleaning them.
3.3 Internal Cleaning
x Wipe off dirt with a soft cloth.
x Do not use strong compressed air on the actuator as this may force dust into the crevices.
x Do not use petroleum-based solvent, neutral detergent or alcohol.
4. Greasing the Guides
4.1 Applicable Grease

4.2 How to Apply Grease
Remove the screw cover and apply an appropriate amount of grease on the right and left rails.
Caution: In case the grease got into your eye, immediately go to see the doctor to get an appropriate
care. After finishing the grease supply work, wash your hands carefully with water and soap
to rinse the grease OFF.
