(4) RH-6FH/12FH/20FH series: Inspecting/Adjusting the J3 axis timing belt
The section related to J3 axis timing belt of RH-6FH/12FH/20FH is shown in
. The picture is the image
which removed the No.2 arm cover.
Fig.5-12 ： Inspecting/Adjusting the J3 axis timing belt (RH-6FH/12FH/20FH)
Inspection and adjustment procedure of the timing belt of J3 axis are shown below.
1) Confirm that the power supply of the controller is OFF.
2) Refer to
Page 81 "Fig. 5-4: Installing/removing the cover"
, and remove the No.2 arm cover U.
3) Visually confirm that the symptoms indicated in 「
"(1)Timing belt replacement period"
have not occurred
with the <4> timing belt.
4) Lightly press the center of the belt, and confirm that the value of belt slack is in
.
Or measure the tension of the belt with tension meters, and confirm that the value is in the range of stan
-
dard tension shown in
Page 98 "Fig. 5-14: Belt tension"
.
When adjustment is necessary, continue to follow the procedure shown below.
When adjustment is not necessary, install the No.2 arm cover U as before and finish the inspection.
5) Lightly loosen J3 motor installation screws <2> (Be careful not to overly loosen the screws.).
6) Loosen the tension adjustment screw <1>. Adjusts by turning the tension adjustment screw <1> slowly and
moving the J3 axis motor <3> little by little.
When the screw is turned to the right, the belt will be stretched, and when turned to the left, will loosen.
Adjust tension to the above-mentioned value.
Note) Be careful, if the belt is removed from pulley <5> <6>, or the mesh of belt and pulley <5> <6> is
shifted by loosening the screw too much, the origin will deviate. If the position deviated, reset the
origin. (Refer to
Page 110, "5.6 Resetting the origin"
7) After adjustment, fasten securely the two J3 axial motor fixing screws <2>, and the nut of tension
adjustment screw <1>. Improper tightening may cause the belt to loosen with vibration.
8) Install No.2 arm cover U securely as before and finish adjustment.
This completes adjustment of the J3 axis timing belt.
