Chapter 8: IP-65 Option
The user air line connectors on the outer link are accessible with the cover removed. See Figure
8-13 for locations of the internal connectors.
When routing air lines outside of the robot, any fittings you use must maintain an adequate
seal in the cover to prevent moisture from entering the outer link.
CAUTION: Failure to prevent water intrusion through
improperly-sealed external fittings could void your
warranty.
Robot Solenoid Option
In an IP-65 robot, if you are installing the internally-mounted solenoid hand valves (Adept
Option Kit P/N 02853-000), you must use a different air line than described in Installing the
Robot Solenoid Kit on page 79.
The internal air line normally used to supply the solenoid manifold is instead used to provide
positive airflow pressure to the bellows/outer link. You can use one of the passive 6 mm user
air lines shown in Figure 8-12 and Figure 8-13.
8.6 Maintenance
IP-65 Bellows Replacement
Check the bellows, Adept P/N 04625-000, periodically for cracks, wear, or damage. Replace
bellows, if necessary, using the procedure below.
1. Remove the lower bellows clamp by removing two M3 screws and pulling the clamp
apart. See Figure 8-14.
2. Remove the tool flange. For the tool flange removal procedure, refer to Removing and
Installing the Tool Flange on page 71.
3. Remove the upper bellows clamp by removing two M3 screws and pulling the clamp
apart.
4. Slide the old bellows down off of the quill.
5. Install a new bellows by sliding it up onto the quill.
6. Re-install the upper bellows clamp. You must align mating surface of the clamp half-
rings with the bellows seam—see Figure 8-15. Tighten the screw to secure the bellows.
7. Re-install the tool flange.
8. Place new gaskets in the lower bellows clamp—extra gaskets are shipped in the
accessory kit. Then install the clamp over the bottom of the bellows, on the bearing ring
just above the tool flange. Align the mating surfaces of the clamp half-rings with the
bellows seam—see Figure 8-15. Tighten the screw to secure the clamp.
