Disassembly and repair
8.1
Disassembly
CAUTION
Crushing of body parts and damage to the system.
Unintended activation can trigger unexpected movements.
• Before any conversion or maintenance work or inspections of the system, ensure that the system is
safely brought to a standstill and is locked to prevent restarting.
–
Remove the following components:
–
all cables and tubes from the interface housing
–
the motor and encoder cables of the servo motors.
8.1.1
Disassembling the parallel kinematic system
CAUTION
Lifting heavy loads can result in permanent health damage.
• Due to its size and weight, the parallel kinematic system should be held and turned over by a total
of three persons
Tab. 1 Dimensions and weights. An additional person is required to release the
attachment.
CAUTION
Crushing of body parts.
In the event of stress on the joints of the parallel kinematic system, the rods can break or the balls can
spring out of the ball cups. This can cause the parallel kinematic system to fall down or tilt over. The
front unit must not strike against anything or be placed on the floor.
1. Grip the parallel kinematic system only in the area of the motors and axes or on the mounting frame.
2. Hold the parallel kinematic system in such a way that you can turn it freely.
3. Place the parallel kinematic system only on the mounting frame.
NOTICE
The parallel kinematic system can be set down without damage only after being turned over:
• Prepare the required supporting surface (pallet).
