9.3.6.1 Grease Replenishment for R-, B-, T-Axes Gears in the Casing
(Refer to
Fig. 9-8 “R-, B-, T- Axes Gears in the Casing and R-Axis Speed
.)
1. Remove the hexagon socket head plug PT3/8 from the grease
exhaust port.
2. Remove the hexagon socket head plug PT1/8 from the grease inlet
and install the grease zerk PT1/8. (The grease zerk is delivered with
the manipulator.)
3. Inject the grease through the grease inlet using a grease gun
– Grease type:
Molywhite RE No. 00
– Amount of grease:
480 cc
(960 cc for 1st supply)
– Air supply pressure of grease pump: 0.3 MPa or less
– Grease injection rate:
8 g/s or less
4. Move the R-, B-, T-Axes for a few minutes to discharge excess grease.
5. Wipe the discharged grease with a cloth and reinstall the plug PT3/8
on the grease exhaust port. Apply ThreeBond 1206C to the thread
part of the plug, and tighten the plug with a tightening torque of 23 N•m
(2.34 kgf•m).
6. Remove the grease zerk from the grease inlet and reinstall the plug
PT1/8. Apply ThreeBond 1206C to the thread part of the plug, and
tighten the plug with a tightening torque of 4.9 N•m (0.5 kgf•m).

NOTE
• If grease is injected with the plug on, the grease will leak
inside the motor and may cause a damage. Make sure to
remove the plug before the grease injection.
• Do not install a joint, a hose, etc. to the grease exhaust
port. Failure to observe this instruction may result in
damage to the motor due to coming off of an oil seal.
