Did that improve your guiding?
EM1_WEB Features Two-channel quadrature with optional index Improved replacement for HEDS-9000 Series Single 5 VDC supply Resolutions from 32 to 2,500 CPR Internal decoupling capacitor Sink/source 8mA outputs EM1_WEB Transmissive Optical Encoder Module EM1 Product Description Restriction of Hazardous Substances The EM1 is a transmissive optical encoder module designed to detect rotary or linear position when paired together with an encoder disk or linear strip. The EM1 consists of a lensed LED source and a monolithic detector IC enclosed in a small polymer package. The EM1 uses phased array detector technology to provide superior performance and greater tolerances over traditional aperture mask-type encoders. The EM1 provides digital A & B quadrature outputs with an optional third output index channel. Each EM1 module is resolution-specific and is matched to the resolution of an encoder disk or linear strip. The EM1 module now supports all standard resolutions offered by the HEDS-9000 series encoder module and additional resolutions. The EM1 operates with a single 5V supply and provides single-ended outputs capable of sinking and sourcing 8mA. An internal 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor is designed into the EM1 to provide enhanced noise immunity over the HEDS-9000 series encoder modules.

This is impossible for people like me with big fingers. I need to use needle nose pliers that are covered with heat-shrink to pick up bearing balls. My fingers are too big to handle them.🙁
Don't forget to coat all unpainted steel surfaces with a light film of Jig--loo or WD-40. Steel rusts so easily!
You are probably better off replacing screws. Cleaning them is probably not worth it.
Why alcohol? Does it work as a de-greaser?
Try using soap and water or Jig-A-Loo to clean off old grease. Dry paper towel does not work well.
Why are the balls all stuck together! ewww...
Why is there a missing ball in the bearing?
I am repairing an old CNC machine which uses THK GSR20 LM guides. They were never greased at all!! Instead of putting grease through the grease nipple like you are supposed to, the previous user just smeared grease all over the rails. The grease attracted tons of sawdust and i have to disassemble the whole bearing to clean them!
hello. what do you use for clean the electronic part? alcohol?
Repair labor cost is higher than a new one.
THK products are insanely expensive!
I have successfully fixed LM guides just by lightly cleaning them, replacing clogged grease nipples (if applicable), installing them onto a machine with cleanish rails coated with a light film of Jig-A-Loo, and adding grease with a grease gun. No disassembly required, though it is likely beneficial (in some ways at least).
@@LangdonStaab You could find an Chinese alternative. I’m supplying and know its possibility to replace THK.
crazy you can find videos like this on youtube
Watched video several times, but i dont see torque sensor, which must be in cobot. Anyone found it?
It's the wavy metallic part removed first on top of the PCB that is bolted onto the shaft
hello, can the hamonic drive be easy to backdrive ?
Depend of reduction ratio. Less ratio - more easy to backdrive.
its an awesome video with a great work, i would like to request you to do full robot dessembling video, we will be waiting for it, thank you...
The flange that they take out near the beginning looks like it couldve been a rotary optical encoder, but there is one clearly later on as well (the see through disk with one dash that feeds through the brown underbelly component of the IC). Anybody able to clarify what the difference is for me between those two components?
Yes correct there are two encoders. The one I took out first is connected to the output of the Gearbox and the second one is connected to the input. The one connected to the input keeps track of the motor Position. The one connected to the output should be an absolute type encoder. I guess this enables the robot to know the position of the axis right after startup and eliminates the need for homing the robot.
So there are two concentric axis in the middle ? one for holding the Rotor - the outer one. And one holdeing the output shaft (probaply for stability reasons of the output) and transmitting the outputshaft rotation to the encoder in the back? You have been able to rotate the rotor after removeing the Outputshaft
@7:00 that is all the breaks there is to it? seems a little uderengineered - what do you think ?
I thought the same, but I guess when the weight of the arm is divided by the reducer ratio its enough
Its a new ball or old one
very nice job. pls, let me know if Im on correct way. These motor is a BLDC with a torque sensor , one encoder and an harmonic drive???. obviously with its power electronics based in a DSP and mosfets to boost the motor. thank you.
what type of motor is that?
Brushless DC + Force sensor + relative encoder with a harmonic/strain wave gearbox at the output
Who know where to buy engine for meade lxd75?
If the encoder is optical by way of that glass disk and the pcb mounted read head, then what is the first item you removed that has the freely rotating centre? I assumed at first that was the encoder. Unless it has two?
I think you are right, there are two encoders. The first one is the RLS encoder - magnetic, and then they also have a US Digital optical one.
EM1 Transmissive Optical Encoder Module, the first encoder
Hey thats a great video i was wondering, where was the force/torque sensor?
In a CB series robot, there isn't one. Torque is measured by motor current. In the e-series, the sensor is located at the end of the arm.
amazing video thanks for sharing!
Nice job man. Really appreciate this.
Ah~ it's a beauty. 🥰 I think I leaked a little.
I always wondered the inside of the UR. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for the tear down! Question 1 at minute 3:25 a rotatory sensor is removed. What type of sensor is that? Is that for tracking absolute rotation? is it a torque sensor? Question2 at minute 5:50 there is a Fence on the optical encoder and it has a linear actuator to press down a plunger. What is that for? Does it limit the orientation uncertainy at startup?
I am happy you enjoyed the video. About question 1: That ist most likely an encoder to track the position of the output side of the gearbox. Together with the second encoder which tracks the input/motor shaft rotation. It can be used to find the robots position after a restart without having to move the robot into an endstop to home its position. And about question 2: The litle pin is acting as a sort of brake. In its resting position it is blocking the star shaped piece which is connected to the motor shaft. When actiated the pin is pressed down and out of the way so the motor can spin freely. This can be used to prevent the robot from moving when it is turned of which is nessesary because the strain wave gearboxes are backdrivable. It can also be used as an emergency brake. I also want to say that I cant be sure about any of these things because I am not a professional about universal robots.
A1: one encoder no the shaft, two in the spring suspension, values diff = resistance force - detection endstops and touch, because it's a cobot axis.
RLS encoder - uses a magnetic ring and hall effect sensors. This encoder is used so that the wires can be fed through the center of the actuator.

After watch your video you give me enthusiasm to try to do maintenence to my mount but before do it want to ask you if we need take care of pieces locations, it means I saw you put the mount on aling position so to re-assembly can please give us the steps to make it in the proper way. Thank you
can you make a better resolution picture of pcb please?
Great job. Could you share the parameters of the motor and sensor？ Thanks
ahahah, nice try 😂😂😂
GOTO system? payload 8-10 kilograms?
is this UR3 or UR5?
Du hast die falsche Zeile benutzt du musst die spring Ring sanierte nutzen die nach außen zu öffnen geht

Heey hey, Thanks for the video. Quick question, what type of grease /lube do you use? I hear very conflicting stories on using white lithium grease. Some day it is the best others say it will ruin your mount.
I'm afraid I don't have a clear and simple answer for your question. But I am happy to share my experience. For my mount I have used a muli purpose grease 1 from Würth because I had it laying around. That's not the best possible grease but it worked fine for my old LXD75 mount. Lithium grease offers very good performance but it can be aggressive to some Polymer's like Nylon for example. A lot of people seem to be happy with using Super Lube on their mounts. But I have no experience with that. Soon I want to hypertune my Celestron CGEM mount. For that I will try some grease with MoS2 which works similar to graphite. (Something like Liqui Moly LM47 grease) but I haven't tried it yet.
Nyogel dampening grease - 765c and 767a (the latter is stickier). They are very high quality and not cheap. Lithium grease will separate over time and is not the best for cast aluminum. It might be fine for the worms, but I use Nyogel.

US Digital EM1, Hubdisk is customized
Is it really a EM1 and not EM2? How can you tell?
Blew my mind when I realized the pink lubricant was for a strain wave gear.
Why is it surprising? I honestly dont know
Great job. Could you share the information of the encoders? Manufacturer or model. Both joint's side and motor's side, Thanks!
Pretty shure they use U.S Digital optical encoder on the motor side, can't exactly tell what the output side is. But definitly hast to ba a magnetic one, maybe something like a RLS AksIM-2.
@@jonashdjg1345 Do you mean that the lower optical encoder is on the motor rotor and the shaft encoder which is removed first in the video is a second encoder that is connected to the motor output via a shaft in the centre? I was wondering what that was. I am currently designing something with an RLS AksIM-2 and they supply the read head and the codewheel separately, whereas the unit seen here looks like an all in one type encoder product. It also looks like it senses in the radial direction around the outside of the shaft rather than reading a codewheel in the axial direction. Mysterious. either way, fascinating video.
@@hoarp001Its also possible that they use one frome a different manufacturer but for me it looks like they have just designed a case and a small shaft for the Aksim. But the Blue pcb irritates me, maybe it could also just be a completly costum encoder they build. They use a incremental encoder on the Motor and an absolute on the output shaft (after harmonic drive). Im pretty shure that they do that for one the absolute Encoder only rotates 360° and directly measures output shaft angle and second, with two encoderes they can quickly discover torque spikes for their collision detection with humans.
Can you make a high resolution photos of the board? Thanks!
ahaha, another nice try😂
Thank you. Clear job.
