①.
Replace the escaper and robot escaper guide.
Before replacement, remove any screws that were loaded in the cham-
ber.
Replace and adjust the escaper and the robot escaper guide after remov-
ing the attaching plate for the holding plate along with the holding plate.
To replace the escaper, remove the screws attaching the robot escaper
guide and then remove the robot escaper guide. Remove the screws
attaching the escaper and then remove the escaper.
Assemble, loosely, the escaper that corresponds with the screw’s nom-
inal diameter, as it will need adjusting later.
Attach the robot escaper guide which corresponds with the screw’s
nominal diameter.
②.
Check and adjust the position of the robot escaper
guide in relation to width and the position of the
escaper in relation to height.
Check that the clearances between the outside of the rail and the robot
escaper guide are almost even on the right and on the left.
If they are in contact, the screws cannot be delivered. If there is too
much clearance on either side, screws may fall into the machine.
When the clearances are uneven, loosen the escaper bracket attaching
bolt and make adjustments so that the clearances between the outsides
of the rail and the robot escaper guide are almost even on the left and the
right.
At this time, make the top surface of the escaper even to, or slightly
lower than, the rail surface. If it’s too high, a screw won’t enter an es-
caper notch. If it’s too low, a screw will not enter a notch properly.
