Checklist
Balls/Alignment Pins/Holes/Bearing Race
г Inspect for lubrication and wear. A NLGI #2, lithium based grease with molybdenum disulfide
additive is suggested for locking mechanism and alignment pin lubrication. Over time, lubricants
can become contaminated with process debris. Therefore, it is recommended to thoroughly clean
the existing grease and replace with new as needed. See
Section 4.2—Cleaning and Lubrication of
the Locking Mechanism and Alignment Pins.
г
Excessive alignment pin/bushing wear may be an indication of poor robot position during pickup/
drop‑off. Adjust robot position as needed. Check tool stand for wear and alignment problems.
Replace worn alignment pins, refer to Section 5.2.1—Alignment P
in Replacement
.
г
Wear on the balls/bearing race could be an indication of excessive loading.
Mounting Fasteners/Interface Connections
г
Inspect for proper torque and interference or wear, abrasions, and cuts of hoses. Tighten and
correct as required.
Seals (Modules)
г
Inspect for wear, abrasion, and cuts.
г Exposed o‑rings and rubber bushings may be subject to damage during normal operation. Replace
damaged o-rings and rubber bushings as needed. Refer to
Section 5.2.5—Seal Inspection
and Replacement
Sensors and Cables
г
Inspect sensor cables and connectors for any damage, cuts, and abrasion.
Electrical Contacts/Pin Block (Modules)
