Maintaining the Ball Sockets

Overview

Periodically verify and replace the ball sockets in accordance with the maintenance schedule.

NOTE: A collection of dirt and debris in the sockets may cause squeaking noises.

Clean the ball sockets at regular intervals.

Verifying the Wear of the Ball Sockets

NOTE: Do not remove the robot arm for this verification.

Step

Action

1

Place a level object, for example, a hex key (1), on the outside of the respective lower arm head of the ready-to-operate robot.

NOTE: The ball sockets can be verified in the working space when the robot is installed and in random position.

2

If the level object is not laying plane on the lower arm head and is in contact with the ball pin, replace the ball socket.
