10. Ball Screw Spline Unit 

 

WARNING 

■

 

Do not insert or pull out the motor connectors while the power to the robot system 

is turned ON.    Inserting or pulling out the motor connectors with the power ON is 

extremely hazardous and may result in serious bodily injury as the Manipulator 

may move abnormally, and also may result in electric shock and/or malfunction of 

the robot system. 

■

 

To shut off power to the robot system, pull out the power plug from the power 

source.  Be sure to connect the AC power cable to a power receptacle.  DO 

NOT connect it directly to a factory power source. 

■

 

Before  performing  any replacement procedure,  turn OFF the  Controller  and 

related equipment, and then pull out the power plug from the power source.   

Performing any replacement procedure with the power ON is extremely 

hazardous and may result in  electric shock and/or malfunction of the robot 

system. 

 

After

  parts  have been replaced  (motors, reduction gear units,  brakes,  timing belts, ball 

screw spline unit,  etc.), the Manipulator cannot operate  properly because a mismatch 
exists between the origin stored in each motor and its corresponding origin stored in the 
Controller. 
After replacing the parts, it is necessary to match these origins. 
The process of aligning the two origins is called “Calibration”. 
Refer to 

Maintenance: 13. Calibration

 to perform the calibration. 

 

10.1  Greasing the Ball Screw Spline Unit

For wiping grease (Spline shaft) 

Cross-point screwdriver

For clamp band removal 
Only for Cleanroom-model 

The brake release switch  affects  both Joints #3 and #4.  When the brake release switch  is 
pressed in emergency mode, the brake for both Joints #3 and #4 are released simultaneously. 
Be careful of the shaft falling and rotating while the brake release switch is pressed because 
the shaft may be lowered by the weight of an end effector.
