8.2.4Transmission Disassembly and Inspection
•
The planetary gear transmissions used in the FUSION System's tool assemblies are de-
signed to withstand the forces exerted upon them by high production requirements of modern
assembly plants.
•
The total cycle count of the tool assembly is stored on the Tool Preamplifier and can be re-
trieved using the FUSION User Console Software. This count can be used for diagnostic and
maintenance purposes. (Only FEC can reset this counter)
•
To prolong the life of the transmission assembly, the components must be inspected and
greased at regular intervals.
•
FEC INC. recommends performing this procedure initially after equipment has been in use for
one year or 500,000 cycles, whichever is reached first.
•
When the initial maintenance is performed, the condition of the transmission assembly should
be analyzed to determine future maintenance requirements. Systems operating under more
severe conditions (Full scale torque in high temperatures) may require maintenance every
250,000 cycles, while other systems may only require maintenance every one million cycles.
1.
REMOVE TRANSMISSION FROM TOOL ASSEMBLY. Separate the transmission from the motor
by disassembling tool assembly drive end. (See Tool Assembly Manual)
Note:
Care must be taken when disassembling the tool assembly. Small parts and wiring can easily
be lost or damaged.
2.
DISASSEMBLE TRANSMISSION. Refer to the appropriate transmission assembly drawing while
disassembling the transmission for cleaning.
3.
CLEAN TRANSMISSION PARTS. Clean all parts with an appropriate solvent, such as mineral
spirits, to remove all excess grease and contamination. Parts should be carefully wiped dry with a
lint-free cloth to remove any residue. Allow the parts to dry thoroughly in an area free from contami-
nation.
4.
INSPECT TRANSMISSION PARTS. Examine all gears, pins, bearings, etc. for signs of exces-
sive wear. Replace any part that failed or appears it may fail.
5.
LUBRICATE TRANSMISSION PARTS. Reassemble the transmission in a contaminant-free
area. Re-pack all bearings and grease all gears. Do not pack the transmission housing with exces-
sive grease; over-greasing could damage the tool and cause it to stall. Recommended grease:
Su-
noco Sunaplex 992 EP
or equivalent.
6.
REASSEMBLE TRANSMISSION. Refer to the appropriate transmission assembly drawing while
reassembling the transmission. If needed, rotate the gears to aid in the assembly process. If the
transmission does not rotate freely after re-assembly, then disassemble the transmission again to iso-
late and correct the cause.
7.
RE-ASSEMBLE TOOL. If needed, rotate the output shaft to align the transmission planetary
gears with the motor output shaft. If the transmission does not rotate freely after reassembling the
tool, then disassemble the tool again to isolate and correct the cause.
