(3) Lubrication method to the shaft

1) Move the J3 axis to the lower end limit by jog operation. Then, turn off the controller's power supply.
2) Refer to

Page 52, "5.3.2

Installing/removing the cover", and remove the No.2 arm cover U.

3) Wipe off the old grease on the shaft. Also, wipe off the grease scattered inside the No.2 arm cover U.

4) Turn on the controller's power supply, and move the J3 axis to the upper end limit by jog operation.

Then, turn off the controller's power supply again.

5) Wipe off the old grease on the shaft, which was hidden beneath the ball screw spline nut.

Wipe off the grease.

Lower end of the J3 axis
