5.11.1 MechanicalDismounting of ManipulatorConfiguration A/B
Procedure
This section describes the mechanical dismounting of the manipulator. The
procedure may be required for performing possible repair procedures in the future.
The manipulator is lifted by using a lifting device installed on the manipulator and
an overhead crane or similar lifting equipment.
1. Place the robot in position for dismounting procedure, as shown inFigure 47.
2. Turn the electrical disconnect switch ‘off’ and lock switch in ‘off’ position.
WARNING!Make sure that the mains switch is ‘off’ and locked in ‘off’ positionbefore continuing. Also make sure that possible other connected systems are ‘off’.
WARNING!Brakes must under no circumstances be released unless specificallynoted. Releasing the brakes can cause severe injury. Disable the axis brake release
function and mark brake release function to prevent releasing the brakesaccidentally.
3.
Build a scaffold, so that the dismounting of the manipulator can be performedin a secure way.
4. Place transport pallet on a side on the floor beneath the manipulator.
WARNING!Make sure that thepallet is secured so that it can notdrop.
5.
Install lifting device (fig.47/2) with 2 e.a. screws (or lifting hooks) on top of
manipulator base unit (fig.47/5) and 2 e.a. screws (fig.47/3) on bottom of base
unit.(The illustration shows a manipulator configuration A. For a configuration
B, the lower end (fig.47/3) of the lifting device needs to be turned).

WARNING!Make sure that the mains switch is ‘off’ and locked in ‘off’ positionbefore continuing. Also make sure that possible other connected systems are ‘off’.
WARNING!Brakes must under no circumstances be released unless specificallynoted. Releasing the brakes can cause severe injury. Disable the axis brake release
function and mark brake release function to prevent releasing the brakesaccidentally.
3.
Build a scaffold, so that the dismounting of the manipulator can be performedin a secure way.
4. Place transport pallet on the floor beneath the manipulator.
5.
Install lifting device (fig.49/1) on manipulator as shown in following
illustration. (The illustration shows a manipulator configuration A. For a
configuration B, the lifting device needs to be turned).
Fit guide pins (fig.49/2 and 4) of support block (fig.49/6) into guide holes on
lifting device (fig.49/1). Instal the lifting device on top of manipulator base unitwith 2 e.a. screws (fig.49/5). Tighten screws with 20Nm. Tighten screw
(fig.49/3) such that the support block supports the vertical arm without any
slack.
Manipulator weight: Approx. 600kg

6. Attach lifting strap (fig.49/7) to lifting hook (fig.49/8) on lifting device
(fig.49/9).
7. Tension the lifting strap. Check that strap is properly secured.
WARNING! Do not walk under the hanging load.
8. Remove 4 e.a. M16 mounting screws (fig.49/10).
9. Slowly lower the manipulator until the foot unit hits the transport pallet.
Carefully continue to lower the manipulator until it is horizontally and the foot
unit is resting completely in mounting position.
10. Install 4 attachment screws (fig.49/10).
11. Remove lifting equipment.
12. Remove lifting device from manipulator.

Preventive Maintenance
6.1Introduction
About this Chapter
This chapter provides instructions for performing scheduled preventivemaintenance on the manipulator.
The preventivemaintenance isbased on a maintenancechart with information about
required maintenance activities including intervals, and references to procedures forthe activities.
Note that the intervals described are recommended intervals. The intervals neededfor your installation may vary, depending on environmental conditions, number ofworking hours etc. The maintenance routines in this description must be seen inrelation to the plant’s own maintenance routines for the paint equipment.
Safety Information
Before any work described in this chapter is commenced, it is extremely important
that all information concerning safety is carefully studied.
There are general safety aspects that must be read through, as wellas more specificsafety information that describes danger and safety risks when performing the
procedures. Read the Safety Manual before performing any service work.
WARNING!No maintenance work must be performed on the robot before the safetyguidelines in the ‘Safety Manual’ have been read and understood. Work must only
be performed by skilled personnel with the proper training.
General Considerations
The prime objective ofany preventive maintenance program is to ensure maximumsystemavailability. Eachscheduled andproperly performed preventive maintenance
activity should assist in realizing this objective. Preventive maintenance that doesnot reduce system downtime is unnecessary and costly.
The robot and paint system is designed to be able to work under very demanding
conditions with a minimum of maintenance. Nevertheless, certain routine checks
and preventative maintenance must be carried out at given periodical intervals.
When performing routine maintenance or repair work, a number of precautionsmust be kept in mind to avoid introducing additional errors into the system.
.
Do not perform more than recommended preventive maintenance on equipmen
