The slide films on the telescopic axis wear with time so that backlash starts to occur on the telescopic axis.
How fast slide films wear depends on the following:
oLoad applied
oPaths traveled
oMovement speeds and transverse accelerations
oQuantity and type of contamination
oMaterial of the slide films
Verifying the Wear of the Slide Films
|
Step |
Action |
|---|---|
|
1 |
Measure the circumferential backlash of the slide films. |
|
2 |
If the backlash is greater than +/-0.5° or no longer sufficient for the application, replace the slide films. |
|
3 |
Verify the total operating hours of the robot according to the maintenance plan and replace the slide films if necessary. |
