Bellows Replacement
Check the bellows periodically for cracks, wear, or damage. Replace bellows (Adept P/N
04625-000) if necessary, using the procedure below.
1. Remove the lower bellows clamp ring from the bearing ring by loosening the
screw on the clamp. See Figure 9-3 .
2. Remove the tool flange. Refer to Section 5.2 on page 57 for the tool flange
removal procedure.
3. Remove the upper bellows clamp ring by loosening the screw on the clamp.
4. Slide the old bellows down off of the quill.
5. Install a new bellows, and reverse the steps listed above.
Table 9-3. Internally-Mounted Hand Valves
Installation considerations The internal air line normally used to supply
the internally-mounted hand valves (Adept
Option Kit P/N 02853-000) is instead used to
provide vacuum to the bellows/outer link. One
of the passive 6 mm user air lines would need
to be used instead.
Performance considerations The air exhausting from the
internally-mounted hand valves (Adept Option
Kit P/N 02853-000) may be of sufficient
quantity/ quality to cause the robot to exceed
Class 10 Particulate Limits.
Recommendation For these reasons, Adept recommends
mounting hand valves externally.
