8.2 Checking Safety Systems
These tests should be done every six months.
NOTE: Operating any of the following switches or buttons must disable
high power. If any of the tests fails, repairs must be made before the robot
is put back into operation.
1. Test operation of:
• E-Stop button on Front Panel
• E-Stop button on pendant
• Enabling switch on pendant
• Auto/Manual switch on Front Panel
2. Test operation of any external (user-supplied) E-Stop buttons.
3. Test operation of barrier interlocks, etc.
8.3 Checking Robot Mounting Bolts
Check the tightness of the base mounting bolts every 6 months. Refer to Table 3-2 on
page 45 for torque specifications.
8.4 Checking Robot Gear Drives
Adept Quattro s650 robots use gear drives, which use oil in their components for
lubrication. It is recommended that you periodically inspect the robot for signs of oil on
and around the gear drives.
NOTE: Check the operation of the fans while the motor covers are off.
See
Section 8.5 .
1. Remove all power to the robot before starting this check.
2. Wait for the motors to cool before performing this check.
3. Check for oil inside the base of the robot after removing the motor covers.
• Look through the venting slots under each motor for oil leakage.
• Feel the bottom of the motors with your finger through the venting slots.
4. Check the outside of the motors and gear drives for any signs of oil.
5. Contact Adept if you find any signs of oil in these areas.
WARNING: Do not remove the encoder cable connectors
from their sockets on the motors. If they are removed, the
calibration data will be lost and the robot must be
recalibrated, which requires special software and tools
