Equipment for KUKA oil change

  • Hi, just curious about what kind of equipment do you usually use to change the oil for KUKA robots?


    For axis 3-6 it`s easy to fill the right amount effectively but for axis 1 and 2 it can be little tricky sometimes if you don`t want to spend whole day applying the oil. In the previous company I worked we used one kind of vacuum pump to apply the oil for those bigger ones. Now in the current company we don`t have similar device so I´m thinking what would be the best solution to purchase. I know that you can`t push the oil inside with pump because there`s risk that the seals don`t last.


    My colleagues had KUKA training about maintenance before but they were using like medical injection equipment to change the oil. For axis 1 and 2 it will take forever using that method. So yeah, would be nice if someone has a good idea how to perform that oil change.
