TUBING BUNDLE INSTALLATION

Typically, the tubing bundle is pulled through

the robot arm from the robot wrist side. Keep

the bundle taped except for the bundle that will

be inside the arm. Pull the tubing through the

wrist and arm, leaving about 250mm (10-inch)

of tubing sticking out the front of the wrist plate.

(See “Tubing Bundle Installation” figure in the

“Installation” section.)

Fasten the cable bundle at the exit of the arm. Push

the robot spacer plate and applicator mounting

plate to the robot wrist plate aligning the top dead

center marks of the spacer plate and robot wrist

plate. Fasten using appropriate screws. Install

the tubing bundle in this fashion will increase

tubing bundle life significantly.

BUNDLE LUBRICANT

When the tubing bundle is installed, it should be

lubricated with a generous amount of lubricant to

increase the service life of the tubes. A recom-

mended lubricant is Shell Alvania EP #02. There

are other lubricants that are available for use.

Prior to using a lubricant, ensure it is silicone free,

resists heat breakdown, and is compatible with the

materials it will contact. It is recommended that

tubing bundles be re-greased every six months.
