6.4. Possible purge cycle problem
Table 6‑2 Possible purge cycle problem
Problem | Cause | What to check for |
Inadequate air flow through the robot | Air supply capacity inadequate | - Check the air pressure at the pneumatic air supply. - Check the Air Purge Unit System. - Check the Air Hose. |
Air leakage from robot | Bad seal | - Look for leakage around cover gaskets and bearing seals at the cable entrance to the robot, holes where plugs or screws are missing through unsealed conduit. |
Pressure switch or air flow switch does not appear to work | Defective pressure switch or air flow switch | - Perform the pressure switch test and air flow switch test to check components. |
Inconsistent readings on the pressure gauge | Air leaks or other problems with the pneumatic air distribution | - Check continuity of the pressure switch and air flow switch during dynamic test conditions. - Check pressure gauge |
