REPLACEMENT
Follow the procedure stated below to replace the grease in the J1--, J2--,
and J 3--axis reducersand theJ4-- and J5--axis gearboxesonce every three
yearsor after11,520hours of operation. See Fig. 3.1for greasingpoints.
1) Remove the seal bolts from the J1--, J2--, and J3--axis grease outlets
shown in Fig. 3.1. Also remove the flat--bolts and sealing washers
from the J4-- and J5--axis grease outlets.
2) Uncap thegreasenipplesat theJ1--, J2--, J3--, andJ4--axis greaseinlets.
Remove the flat--head bolt fromthe J5--axis grease inlet and attach the
supplied grease nipple to the J5--axis grease inlet.
3) Supply the grease specified in Table 3.2 to the J1--, J2--, and J3--axis
reducers, and J4-- and J5--axis gearboxes through their respective
greasenipples. Keepgreasing untilthe newgrease pushesout theold
grease and comes out from each grease outlet. Ensurethat the amount
of the newly supplied grease equals the amount of the drained grease
so that the grease bath will not become full.
4) Wind sealing t ape around the J1--, J2--, and J3--axis seal bolts you
removed, and attach them to the respective grease outlets.
5) Attach the J4-- and J5--axis flat--head bolts and t he J4-- and J5--axis
sealing washers to the respective grease i nlets and outlets.
Table. 3.2 Grease to be replaced at regular intervals of three years
If you grease incorrectly, the pressurein the grease bath may
increasesteeply,leadingtoabrokenseal,whichwilleventually
cause grease leakage or malfunction.
When greasing, be sure to follow the cautions stated below.
1 Before starting greasing, open the grease outlets (remove
bolts and the like from the grease outlets).
2 Using a manual greasing pump, grease gently and slowly.
3 Avoid using a pneumatic pump driven from a factory
4 Be sureto use thespecifiedgrease. Otherwise,damage to
reducers or a similar abnormality may occur.
5 Beforecapping thegreaseoutlets, makesure thata grease
flow from the grease outlet has stopped (the remaining
pressure has been released).
6 Wipe offany greasefromthe floor androbot completely, so
no one will slip on it.

ADJUSTMENTS
Each part of the mechanical units of a robot is set to the best condition
beforethe robot is shipped to the customer. The customerdoes not need
to make adjustments on the robot when it is delivered.
If a mechanical unit of the robot has a large backlash because of a
long--term use or component replacement, make adjustments according
to this section.

REFERENCE
POSITION AND
MOVING RANGE
1) Reference position and operation limit
Each controlled axis is provided with a reference position and
operation limit.
A state in which a controlled axis has reached its operation limit is
known as overtravel (OT). For each axis, an overtravel condition can
be detected at the both ends of it. As long as the robot does not
encountera servo section error or system errorthat causes a reference
position to be lost, the robot is controlled insuch a way that it will not
go out of its operation area.
Fig. 5.1 (a) to Fig. 5.1 (g) show the reference position and operation
area (stroke) of each axis and their mechanical stopper positions.

SIMPLIFIED
MASTERING
The term simplified mastering refers to a procedure for resuming the
previous position completely after a pulse coder battery backup is
disconnected because of cable replacement.
Simplifiedmasteringcannotbe usedifthe pulse coderphasehas changed
mechanically because of a motor or reducer having been replaced. To
calibrate the robot position accurately, perform the jig--based mastering
describedinSection5.4.
1) Procedure
Described below is the simplified mastering to be performed with a
posture of zero degrees for all axes after cable replacement.
1 Before replacing the cable, be sure to take note of the system
variable $DMR_GROUP.$MASTER_COUN[1] to [6] (previous
mastering data).
2 Replace the cable according to the cable replacement procedure
describedinSection8.2.
3 If you want to release brake control, set the system variable
$PARAM_GROUP.$SV_OFF_ENB to FALSE for all axes, turn
off the power, and then perform a cold start.
4 After the power is turned on, the alarm message BZAL alarm is
displayed.Select“TRUE”forthesystemvariable
$MCR.SPC_RESET, turn off the power, and then perform a cold
start.
5 After the power is turned on again, the message Pulse not
established is displayed. Rotate each axis through 20° or so in
either (+ or --) direction, using an individual--axis feed command,
and then press the alarm reset key to reset this message.
6 By performing an individual--axis feed command foreach axis, set
the zero--degree mark within +/--1 mm from the scribed line. (See
Fig. 5.2.) If no reference position has been set up at zero degrees
for all axes, using simplified mastering, go to 7. Otherwise, go to
8.
7 Assign the mastering data in $DMR_GROUP.$MASTER_
COUN[1] to [6] that was taken note of at 1 to the system variable
$DMR_GROUP.$REF_CONUT[1] to [6] (simplified mastering
data). Loadthesystemvariable$DMR_GROUP. $REF_POS[1]to
[6] (simplified mastering reference positions) with “0”. Select
“TRUE” for the $DMR_GROUP.$REF_DONE (simplified
mastering completion flag).Now the simplified mastering
reference position has been set up at zero degrees for all axes.

JIG--BASED
MASTERING
If the current--position value stored through the pulse coder becomes
differentfrom the actualposition ofeach axis becausea majorcomponent
of the mechanical unit of the robot is replaced, masteringis performed by
specifying the geometric position of the robot. (Mastering is performed
at a position of J1 = 0(.) For all robots, mastering is performed at the
factory.
When calibrating the robot, have it satisfy the following conditions.
D Level out the installation base for the robot (1 mm/base).
D Remove the hand and all other components from the wrist.
D Keep the robot from any external force.
NOTE
When the robotisbeing subjected to mastering, itdoesnot
make a stroke check.Pay sufficient attention to the
operation of the robot axes.

CONFIRMING
MASTERING
1) Confirming that mastering was performed normally
Usually, positioning is performed automatically when the power is
turned on. To confirmthat mastering was performednormally, check
that the current--position display matches the actual position of the
robot, using this procedure.
a) Replay the taught operation of the robot to set each axis to zero
degrees, and visually check that the zero--degree position marks
shown in Fig. 5.2 are aligned.
b) Replay a specific portion of the program,and check that the robot
has moved to the taught position.
2) Possible alarms in positioning
The following paragraphs describe alarms that may occur in
positioning and explain how to handle them.
a) BZAL alarm
This alarm is raisedif thevoltageof the pulsecoderbackupbattery
becomes 0V when the controller power is off. Mastering must be
performed again because the counter has already lost data.
b) BLAL alarm
This alarm indicates that the voltage of the pulse coder backup
battery is too low to run the pulse coder. If this alarm is issued,
replace the backup battery soon while keeping the power on, and
checkwhether the current--position datais correct,using amethod
described in item (1).
c) CKAL,RCAL,PHAL,CSAL, DTERR,CRCERR, STBERR, and
SPHAL alarms
If any of these alarms is issued, contact your FANUC service
representative. A motor may have to be replaced.

Observe the following cautions when applying sealant
(Loctite No. 518).
1 Greasing the surface where sealant is to be applied
1) Remove dust from the surface and the inside of the tap,
for example, by blowing it off.
2) Degrease thesurfacecompletelywith acloth dampened
with solvent.Do not spray solvent directly onto the
surface.
3) Wipe off any solvent from the surface with a dry cloth.
Makesurethat nosolventisleftin thetap oron anyother
portion.
4) Always use a new surface of a cloth so that the grease
oncewipedupwiththe clothwillnotgeton thedegreased

CABLE REPLACEMENT
Replacethe cables ofthe robotonce every fouryears. Ifacableis broken
or damaged, replace it according to the procedure described in this
chapter.
Cautions in handling the
pulse coder cable
Whentransporting, installing, ormaintaining the robot,do not detachthe
pulse coder cables carelessly. The cables are provided with the marking
tieshownbelow. If you detachedanycablewiththemarkingtie, you need
to perform mastering for the robot.
Do not detach any connector unless you replace a motor, pulse coder,
reducer, or cable.
Fig8 Markingtie
If there is a break in or any other damage to a cable, replace the cable
according to the procedure described in this chapter. If the connector of
a pulse coder cable (K101, K102, K103, K104, K105, K106, K201, or
K202)is detached,the data about theabsolutepositionof therobot is lost.
Once any of these cables is replaced, perform simplified mastering while
referencing Section 5.3. If the data is lost because of a break in a cable,
also perform simplifiedmastering to calibratethe robotinto the previous
absolute position.

CABLE DRESSING
After a cable is replaced individually rather than in kit, clamp it with
rubberbushingsand nylon ties(cableties) atthespecifiedpositionslisted
in Table 8.1. Otherwise, the cable may sag or become too tight, leading
to a break in the cable.

REPLACING CABLES
First, placethe robot inaposture of the J4--axis being at --90° and all other
axes being at 0°. Before starting cable replacement, put the controller
apart from the robot main body.
1) Replacing the cable kit
1 Cutthenylonties(cableties) for the J2--/J3--axisCornex cover,and
take out the cover from the cable kit.
2 Dismount the J1 connector board from the J1 base. (See Fig. 8.2
(a).)
3 Cut the nylon tiethatbounds therubberboot, anddetachtherubber
boot from the cable. Separate the RM1 and RP1 connectorinserts
from the connectorhousing onthe J1connector board. (Dismount
the connector housing from the J1 connector board because
otherwise the rubber boot will get caught on the housing and their
removal will be hindered.)
Dismount the terminals from t he battery box.
4 Remove the M1M, M1BK (with six axes equipped with a brake),
M2M, M2BK, M1P, and M2P connectors from the J1--/J2--axis
motor.
5 While referencing Fig. 8.2 (a), remove the two M6×6 bolts that
fastentheplate (A290--7215--X222) in theJ1 base, andpull outthe
cablefrom the inside of the J1 base toward the uppersection of the
J1 hollow pipe section. The connector inserts mentioned in <3>
tendto get caughtinsidethepipe. Do notforceit out fromthepipe.
Otherwise, a break may occur in the cable.
6 While referencing Fig. 8.2 (b), remove the two M6×10 bolts that
fasten the cable cover above the J2 base (A290--7215--X301), and
dismount the cable cover.
7 While referencing Fig. 8.2 (b), remove the two M8×10 bolts that
fasten the plate (A290--7215--X331), and dismount the plate.
8 While referencing Fig. 8.2 (b), remove the four M8×10 cable kit
mounting bolts from the J2 arm, and dismount the cable kit from
the J2 arm.
9 WhilereferencingSection6.11,dismount the J5--2 coverandwrist
flange unit, and then remove the J6--axis motor connector. Then,
as shown in Fig. 8.2 (c), cut nylon ties (cable ties) for the J6 clamp
(A290--7215--X534) and the J5--2 clamp (A290--7215--X531) [and
also for the support (A290--7215--X529)] to separate the
non--bound cables portions.
10 While referencing Fig. 8.2 (b), remove the four M6×10 bolts that
fasten the plate (A290--7215--X430) on the rear of the J3 casing.
Loosenthenut fortheresinbushing that fastenstheplate, and slide
the bushing in such a direction that the cable will become loose.
11 As shown in Fig. 8.2 (c), remove the two M5×10 bolts that fasten
theJ5--1 clamp(A290--7215--X525),and dismountthe J5--1 clamp
fromtheJ3arm,andpull itout. Then,cut the nylon ties (cableties),
and pull out the cable from the inside of the wrist toward the rear
of the J3 casing.
12 While referencing Fig. 8.2 (b), remove the two M6×10 bolt that
fastenthe plate(A290--7215--X426)ontheJ3casing,anddismount
the cable kit completely from the robot main body.

8. CABLE REPLACEMENTMAINTENANCE
13 Mount a new cable kit by reversing the above steps. In this case,
however, do not tighten the nut for the resin bushing on the plate
(A290--7215--X430) behindtheJ3 casing. Afterpassing the cables
through the J3 arm, pass them through the J5--2 cover
(A290--7215--X502) and gasket (A290--7215--X527), and then
insert them into the J6 housing.
14 After going back to 8 on the previous page, fasten the J5--2 clamp
(A290--7215--X531) together with thesupport(A290--7215--X529)to
the non--bound cable portions. After fixing the nylon ties, do not
fasten the J5--2 clamp to the J5--2 cover immediately; keep it loose.
15 WhilereferencingFig.8.2(c),attachtheJ6clamp
(A290--7215--X534) to the non--bound cable portions. Be careful
to keep non--bound twisted pairs from being twisted.Also
carefully observe a rated clamp distance of 160 mm shown in Fig.
8.2 (c).
16 After makingsure that the non--bound twisted pairsarenot twisted
inthe J5--axishollowsectionornot caught in theJ6 housing,fasten
the J6 clamp (A290--7215--X534) to the J5--2 cover with two new
M4×6 seal bolts.Then make sure that J5--1clamp
(A290--7215--X525) is fastenedtothe inside of theJ3 armsecurely,
and mount the J5--2 cover.At this point, make sure that the
non--bound cable portions are not worn against any sheet metal
edge inside the J3 arm and that they arenot caught under the J5--2
cover when it is attached. (If it is likely that a non--bound cable
portion maybe worn against any sheet metal edge, confine it with
a nylon tie (cable tie) or take a similar measure.)
17 With the nut for the resinbushing onthe plate (A290--7215--X430)
behind the J3 casing kept loose, twist the cables passing the J4
hollow section through 90° clockwise as viewed from behind the
J3 casing (to prevent the cables from twisting when the J4--axis is
at 0°) so that t he cables will not be too tight or not sag behind the
J3 casing. Then tighten the resin nut by hand.
18 Mount the cable kit by going back from 7 to 2.
19 Attach the rubber boot to the previous place.
Beforemounting theJ1connectorboardto the J1 base,push theOT
jumperconnector into the rubber boot, and bind the opening ofthe
rubber boot for both RM1 and RP1 with a nylon tie. While being
careful not to pinch non--bound cable portions, mount the J1
connector board on the J1 base.
20 Mount the J2--/J3--axis Cornex cover on the cable kit again, and
fasten them with a nylon tie (cable tie). (Do not fasten the nylon
tie too tightly.)
