Greasing the Balancer

    Hello All,

    I have a R2000ib robot and per the 1 year PM I have to grease the balancer. I have the grease types and the amount from the manual however these isn't any mention of where the grease is supposed to come out from. Am I only supposed to pump the grease inside or is there some outlet that I can't find. Any help is appreciated!

    thank you

    The 2 balancer pivot bushings are the only grease points on the robot that do not have outlets. The grease will come out at the back of each bushing between the frame and the balancer.
    If the old excess grease becomes too much, it can be removed with folded towels slid between the frame & balancer.
    If it's a dirty or hot environment or a lot of axis J2 motion, I find once a year can be insufficent for these pivot bushings.
