6.3 Lubrication
Before start-up, be sure a lubricator is installed as described in the
pneumatic diagram Drawings
Make sure the air lubrication system is filled with oil.
Use oil similar to machine oil #10, spindle oil #60, Shell/Exxon ATF
DEXRON II automatic transmission oil, or similar.
Oilfog
air lubrication systems
are not
recommended as a means
for providing lubricated air for this product. Only
microfog
systems
should be used. The system should be adjusted to 10–15 drops per
minute. Only part of the oil drop actually enters the air stream. Fill
the lubricator with the proper type of oil at regular intervals.
CAUTION
•
When the system is first installed, use a higher than
recommended oil setting (approx. 2 times) until the unit is
receiving consistently oiled air.
•
Run oil through the entire pneumatic tube between the oiler
and the unit prior to operation.
WARNING
Damage to health due to inhalation of air containing oil!
Long-time exposure to air containing oil could be dangerous for
personnel.
•
It is recommended that the exhaust containing lubrication be
filtered through an oil-recovery system before exhausting it to
the atmosphere.
CAUTION
Lack of lubrication will cause untimely wear on the motor and
failure within a relatively short period. If the lubrication is not
working properly, the motor will run slower than normal, and
may vary in speed. Install the lubrication equipment near the
robot base (maximum 16 feet from the FDB-AC) for best results.
