5.9.2 Replacing the axis-2 gearbox

Space required nearby robot

This section describes how to replace the gearbox without needing to remove the
cable harness and DressPack cable package (if installed) from the robot.

The described procedure requires free space on the floor nearby the robot. There
should be enough space to place foam boards, pallets or similar protective material
nearby the robot.

If needed, run axis-1 into a position that gives the required space. The figure shows
an example.

Note

Keeping the cable harness and DressPack fitted on the robot during gearbox
replacement is only a recommendation. If it is not possible to put the lower and
upper arm close enough to the robot, the cable harness and DressPack in the
base and in the frame must be removed first.
