Required equipment
Do's and don'ts!
The section below specifies some special considerations when cleaning the robot.
Always!
•
Always use cleaning equipment as specified above! Any other cleaning equipment
may shorten the life of paintwork, rust inhibitors, signs, or labels!
•
Always check that all protective covers are fitted to the robot before cleaning!
Never!
•
Never point the water jet at bearing seals, contacts, and other seals!
•
Never spray from a distance closer than 0.4 m!
•
Never remove any covers or other protective devices before cleaning the robot!
•
Never use any cleaning agents, for example compressed air or solvents, other than
those specified above!
•
Never spray with a high pressure cleaner onto the sealing cup at the bottom of the
motor 6 spiral cable (item A in the figure Special points)!
•
Although the robot is watertight, avoid spraying connectors and similar items with a
high pressure cleaner!
Foundry Plus versions
In working environments, for example foundries, where the robot may be exposed to fluids
that dry to make a crusty surface, for example release agents, clean the cable harnesses to
prevent the crust damaging the cables:
•
Clean the spiral wound cables to motor 6 (item A in the figure
) with water and a cloth!
•
Clean the remaining sections of the cable harnesses as detailed above!
