9.4.1. Disconnecting the gas spring assembly unit

9.4.1. Disconnecting the gas spring assembly unit

The H axis must be at the angle and posture as shown in [Figure 9.1] during the work of disconnecting the assembly unit. In this posture, the compressive force of the gas spring is minimized, allowing the assembly unit to be disconnected from the robot. Therefore, even if the gas spring assembly unit is disconnected from the main body, the compressive force will be kept in balance by the spring, helping minimize the risk factor during the disconnection process

However, when it is needed to carry out the disconnection work to dispose of the gas spring or perform internal maintenance works but it is impossible to set the H axis at the 90° posture because the H axis does not operate, please completely remove the gas in compliance with “9.3. Releasing the gas of the gas spring.”

 

 

Figure9.5 Posture for disconnecting the gas spring

 

[Danger] ü  Postures at which the disconnection of the gas spring assembly unit must not be performed: H axis is at other degrees than at 90˚ (If the H axis is at other postures than at 90˚, the compressive force of the gas spring will be excessive, meaning that if the hinge bolts are loosened, the thread of the screw will be broken by the pressure of the gas spring, and the bolt will be bounced off at high speed, causing accidents involving people or damage to the equipment).
