Maintenance and inspection procedures
(5) RH-6FH/12FH/20FH series: Replacing the J3 axis timing belt
The procedure for replacing the J3 axis timing belt on the RH-6FH/12FH/20FH series is shown below. The
diagram shows an image of the removed No. 2 arm cover U.
After replacing the J3 axis timing belt the resetting the origin of J3 and J4 axis is necessary.
1) Refer to
Page 81 "Fig. 5-4: Installing/removing the cover"
, and remove the No.2 arm cover U.
2) Loosen the nut of tension adjustment screw <1>, and loosen the tension adjustment screw <1>.
3) Remove two fixing screws <2>, and remove the J3 axis motor <3>.
4) Remove the timing belt <4> from the timing pulley A (motor side <5>) and B (shaft side <6>).
5) Install surely the new belt to the timing pulley (on the motor) <5> and timing pulley B <6>, and fix the J3 axis
motor <3> with J3 axis motor fixing screw <2>.
Confirms having related the timing belt <4> to the timing pulley A <5> and the timing pulley B <6> securely.
6) Adjust the tension of J3 axis timing belt with referring to
Page 92, "(4) RH-6FH/12FH/20FH series: Inspecting/
Adjusting the J3 axis timing belt"
.
7) Install No.2 arm cover U securely as before.
8) Reset the origin of J3 and J4 axis with referring to the
