Cleaning

ATTENTION

Risk of damage caused by unsuitable cleaning agents and cleaning methods

Inappropriate cleaning agents can cause damage to the system or its components.

► Wear protective gloves and safety goggles.

► Use only mild cleaning agents whenever possible.

► Do not use high-pressure equipment or harsh or corrosive cleaning agents.

Cleaning instructions

  • Do not apply excessive force to the robot arm, as such force can overload the brakes and cause the robot arm to fall downward.
  • Support the modules to be cleaned so as not to overload or damage the robotic arm.
  • Clean only with a damp, well-wrung-out cloth or a dry cloth.
  • Do not spray liquids directly onto robot components.
  • Make sure that no moisture penetrates the modules, terminals or gaps.
  • Do not put the system back into operation until all surfaces are completely dry.
