Goal

SL8500 - How to Inspect the Handbot Lower Extension Plate and Prevent Damaging Replacement HandBot to help reduce repair cost.

Solution

Before replacing a Handbot visually inspect the Handbot from spares for damage including the Lower Extension Plate and the Handbot Magnesium Housing. Reference the attached pictures for a reference of the type of damage seen on returned Handbots and Handbots from spares, also see the attached inspection procedure.  If damage is found to the Lower Extension Plate from spares it can be replaced with the original Handbot’s lower extension plate.

Note: You may need to flex the lower black plastic extension plate to determine it is cracked. Exercise extreme care while flexing the lower extension plate as it can easily be cracked or broken.  Pay particular attention to the area adjacent to the screw holes as that is the most vulnerable and likely area to be impacted.

For general handling guidelines the Handbot should be handled by the z-tube and not the lower extension plate and when placing the Handbot on the floor or table do not angle the Handbot to add stress to the lower extension plate. Reference SL8500 Service Manual has updated instructions to replace a SL8500 Handbot.
