5.1. Grease Replenishment/Replacement
| Attention If greasing is performed incorrectly, the internal pressure of the grease bath may suddenly increase, possibly causing damage to the seal, which would in turn lead to grease leakage and abnormal operation. When performing greasing, therefore, observe the following cautions. |
(1) Before starting to grease, remove the plug from the grease outlet.
(2) Whenever possible, avoid using a compressed-air pump, powered by the factory air supply. If the use of a compressed-air pump is unavoidable, restrict the greasing pressure less than 3.0bar(3.1kgf/cm2)
(3) Use grease only of the specified type. If not, may damage the reducer or lead to other problems.
(4) After greasing, confirm that no grease is leaking from the grease outlet and that the grease bath is not pressurized, then re-attach the plug in the grease outlet.
(5) To prevent accidents caused by slipping, completely remove any excess grease from the floor or robot.
(6) When an ambient temperature is more than 40℃, be sure to shorten the period of replenishment in half.
