9.6 IP65 Option Maintenance
This section provides maintenance instructions for replacing the bellows provided with the
IP65 option.
IP65 Bellows Replacement
Use the following procedure to replace the bellows. The part number for the bellows is 04625-
000.
IMPORTANT:
Check the bellows periodically for cracks, wear, or damage.
1. Remove all power and air supply from the robot.
2. To remove the lower bellows clamp, remove two M3 screws and pull the clamp apart.
3. Remove the tool flange.
For the tool flange removal procedure, see Remove the Tool Flange on page 120.
4. To remove the upper bellows clamp, remove two M3 screws and pull the clamp apart.
5. Slide the old bellows down off of the quill.
6. Install a new bellows by sliding it up onto the quill.
7. Re-install the upper bellows clamp. You must align the mating surface of the clamp
half-rings with the bellows seam—see Figure 9-14. Tighten the screw to secure the bel-
lows.
8. Re-install the tool flange.
9. Place new gaskets in the lower bellows clamp—extra gaskets are shipped in the access-
ory kit. Then install the clamp over the bottom of the bellows, on the bearing ring just
above the tool flange. Align the mating surfaces of the clamp half-rings with the bellows
seam—see Tighten the screw to secure the clamp.
NOTE:
Align the bellows clamps with the bellows seam, on both upper
and lower clamps
