It is recommended to have the battery replaced every 2.5 years.
(Battery model code: AB-6, Quantity to use: 4 units)
[Refer to 13.4, “Replacement of Absolute Backup Battery”.]
Third Axis Belt
Check the third axis (vertical axis) timing belt surface for any
defect or excessive wear.
(Check it five years later from the operation start, and after that,
check it every year).
When any defect is found, the replacement of the timing belt is
required.
(If any defect is found, contact IAI).

Lost motion measurement
If the lost motion value exceeds the allowable range, it is
considered the end of life for speed reducer or bearing. It is
necessary to have the unit disassembled for such work as
replacement of the speed reducer.
(Please contact IAI if any abnormality is found.)
(Note) The life of the speed reducer may vary depending on the
duration of operation, speed or load, but it is approximately
five to seven years.
[Refer to 13.6, “How to Measure Lost Motion”.]
Forth Axis Belt
Check the forth axis (rotational axis) timing belt surface for any
defect or excessive wear.
(Check it five years later from the operation start, and after that,
check it every year).
When any defect is found, the replacement of the timing belt is
required.
