4.  Maintenance 

 

4.1  Preventive Maintenance 

The Tool Changer and optional modules are designed to provide a long life with regular 

maintenance. 
A visual inspection and preventative maintenance schedule is provided in the table below 

depending upon the application. Details are provided in 

Section 8—Drawings

.

Locking Mechanism Cam and Alignment Pins 

  Inspect for lubrication and wear. A NLGI #2, lithium-based grease with molybdenum disulfide additive is suggested 

for locking mechanism and alignment pin lubrication. Over time, lubricants can become contaminated with process 

debris. Therefore, it is recommended to thoroughly clean the existing grease and replace with new as needed. 

Refer to 

Section 4.2—Locking Mechanism, Alignment Pins Cleaning and Lubrication

.

 

  Excessive alignment pin/bushing wear may be an indication of poor robot position during pickup/drop-off. Adjust 

robot position as needed. Check Tool Stand for wear and alignment problems. Refer to 

Section 4.3—Alignment 

Pin Replacement

.

 

Mounting Fasteners and Interface Connections 

  Inspect for proper torque and interference or wear, abrasions, cuts of hoses, and electrical cables. Tighten and 

correct as required.

 

O-rings and Rubber Bushings 

  Exposed o-rings and rubber bushings may be subject to damage during normal operation.  Inspect for wear, 

abrasion, and cuts. Replace damaged o-rings and rubber bushings as needed. 

Electrical Module 

  Clear debris from area of the contact using compressed air.  Do not directly clean contacts as abrasion may occur 

and the performance of the contact may be compromised. Inspect Electrical Contacts for wear or damage. Refer 

to 

Section 4.4—Electrical Module Pin Block Contact Inspection and cleaning.

 

  Inspect V-Ring Seal for wear, abrasion, and cuts. Refer to 

Section 4.5—Electrical Module Seal Inspection and 

Replacement.

 

NOTICE:

 All Tool Changers are initially lubricated using 

MobilGrease® XHP222 Special

 

grease. The end user must apply additional lubricant to the locking mechanism 

components and alignment pins prior to start of service (See Section 4.2). Tubes of 

lubricant for this purpose are shipped with every Tool Changer. Note: 

MobilGrease® 

XHP222 Special

 is a NLGI #2 lithium complex grease with molybdenum disulfide. 

NOTICE:

 The cleanliness of the work environment strongly influences the trouble-free operation 

of the changer. The dirtier the environment, the greater the need is for protection against debris. 

Protection of the entire EOAT, the Master, the Tool, and all of the modules may be necessary. 

Protective measures include the following: 1) placement of Tools Stands away from debris 

generators, 2) covers incorporated into the Tool Stands [see Section 2.3] and 3) guards, 

deflectors, air curtains, and similar devices built into the EOAT and the Tool Stand.
