• D Air tube connection: Open grippers.

Note: JBC recommends bi-stable valves for the grippers to prevent the cartridge from falling out in case of an emergency stop or power cut.

Centering Jig

In order to align CSR245 and CSR470 to the soldering tool and set the cartridge pick-up points use JBC´s centering jigs.

• Install, as shown, the lower centering jig into the gripper of CSR and the upper centering jig into the soldering tool of HA Automatic Soldering Set.
• Adjust the soldering tool position until the centering jigs are aligned. It must be possible to move it in and out smoothly.

• Insert the upper centering jig completely into the lower centering jig.
• Set this point as the pick-up point position.
• From this point on, the soldering tool should do a linear movement when inserting or removing cartridges.

Maintenance

• Before carrying out maintenance, always unplug the tool.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the tool. Alcohol can only be used to clean the metal parts.
• Periodically check that the metal parts of the tool are clean so the control unit can detect the tool’s status.
• Periodically check all cable and tube connections.
• Maintain the tip surface clean and tinned before storage to avoid tip oxidation.
• Rusty and dirty surfaces reduce heat transfer to the solder joint.
• Replace any defective or damaged parts. Use original JBC spare parts only.
• Repairs should be performed only by a JBC authorized technical service.
• Under normal operating conditions, the air gripper lifespan is 10 million cycles. It is recommended to replace it at the end of its lifespan.

Internal cleaning process

Remove the M5 screw and the washers that hold the guide support arm and the TRA main body together. Then remove the complete guide support arm.

Remove the M4 screws (4x) and the connector at the rear of the TRA’s main body. Then remove the pneumatic supply tubes (2x) from the fittings. Finally, remove the main body from the adjustable support.

To remove the front cover of TRA, remove the M3 screws (4x). Set the front cover aside.
Remove the M3 screws (2x) and then remove the fingers and set them aside.

Remove the M3 screws (6x) and the terminals.

To remove the arms, remove the M3 screws (4x).

Remove springs and contacts manually and set them aside.

Remove both fixing screws (2x) first and then remove the isolating plate. Set the isolating plate and the arms aside.

Place all components that have been disassembled in a container with alcohol. It is possible to use ultrasound to clean the submerged parts. Do not submerge the TRA main body. If needed, wipe it using a cloth moistened with alcohol.

Reassembling

Once the parts are clean and completely dry, follow the reverse order of the disassembly steps. Apply threadlocker on all screws.

Once the contacts, their springs and the terminals are assembled together and the screws are tightened, check that the contacts work smoothly and that they do not get stuck.

Important:

Reassemble the contacts according to their cable color in the correct position, as indicated below.

When tightening the M3 screws to fix the terminals, make sure that the terminals are in the indicated position. They must be prevented from coming into contact with the nerve of the contact box
