5.1.3. V-Axis Reducer

 

 

 

Attention   If grease is added without removing the outlet plug, it cause damage to the seal of reducer and grease will go inside the motor and may damage it. It is absolutely necessary to remove the plug.

 

n  Grease Replacement

 

(1)    Prepare a grease nipple A-PT1/4 and then make the R2-Axis 0°degree.

(V:0°-Floor Type, V:-90°-Shelf Type)

 

(2)   Remove the plug G1/4 of the grease inlet, and fasten the grease nipple A-PT1/4.

 

(3)   Remove the plug G1/4 of the grease outlet.

 

(4)   Inject the grease into the grease inlet using a grease gun.

 

ü  Grease type : VIGO GREASE RE0 ü  Amount of grease : 889cc (800g)

 

(5)   The grease replacement is complete when new grease appears in the outlet port.

The new grease can be distinguished from the old one by color.

 

(6)   Move the H-Axis for a few minutes to eject the old grease and then add grease until the new grease appears in the outlet port.

 

(7)   Discharge excessively fueled grease and residual pressure. (Refer to the discharge procedure below.)

 

(8)    Remove the grease nipple of the inlet and assemble the inlet plug.

 

■Injecting grease after replacing the reducer

 

(1)    Prepare the grease nipple A-PT1/4, and then set the V-axis arm horizontally.

(V:0°-Floor Type, V:-90°-Shelf Type)

 

(2)    Remove the plug G1/4 of the grease inlet, and fasten the grease nipple A-PT1/4.

 

(3)    Remove the plug G1/4 of the grease outlet.

 

(4)    Inject the grease into the grease inlet using a grease gun.

 

ü  Grease type : VIGO GREASE RE0 ü  Amount of grease : 1,111cc (1.000g)

 

(5)    The grease replacement is complete when new grease appears in the outlet port.

 

(6)    Discharge excessively fueled grease and residual pressure. (Refer to the discharge procedure below.)

 

(7)    Remove the grease nipple of the inlet and assemble the inlet plug.

 

■Procedure in discharging excessively fueled grease and residual pressure after grease replacement and injection

 

(1)   Attach a grease receiver or a hose to the grease outlet to prevent contamination from discharged grease.

 

(2)    Operate it within a range without surrounding and interference under the following conditions.

①    Operation angle: 70° or more

②    Operation speed: 50%

③    Operation time: 1.5 hours or more

④    Work so that the injected amount and the discharged amount are the same. If the discharged amount is less, the residual amount needs to be discharged through the inlet.

 

(3)    Wipe the outlet port with a cloth and attach the plug.
