This guide explains how to replace the four caster wheels on a MiR250 robot.
Things you'll need
The caster wheel kit from MiR for MiR250
A 65 Nm torque wrench with a 19 mm hexagon socket
2 × wrench with a 13 mm hexagon socket
An 8 mm hex key
Kit contents
The kit contains the following items:
4 × caster wheels in forks
4 × M12 lock nuts
4 × 13 mm M8 lock nuts
4 × M8 bolts
Before replacing the caster wheel
Step 1: Turn off the robot and disconnect the battery. To disconnect the battery, follow these steps:
- Remove the rear cover by pressing the two white buttons and pulling off the cover. When removing the cover, un-click the two bottom corners first and then the two top corners.
- Turn the Battery lock switch clockwise to release the Battery lever.
- Pull the Battery lever down to disconnect the battery.
- Turn the Battery lock switch counter-clockwise to lock the battery lever again.
Step 2: Raise the robot from the ground using a lifting device so either or both of the bogies are raised from the ground and are not supporting the robot. You can for example place the robot on the edge of a pallet or some other sturdy platform.
Replacing the caster wheel
Step 1: Using a 13 mm hexagon wrench, unscrew the M8 lock nuts on the caster wheels, and remove the wheels from their brackets.
Step 2: Using a 12 mm hexagon wrench, unscrew the M12 lock nuts holding the caster wheel brackets in place, and remove the brackets from the robot. Discard the used lock nuts.
Step 3: Fasten the new caster wheel brackets to the robot with the supplied M12 lock nuts using a 19 mm torque wrench. Tighten the nuts to 65 Nm.
Step 4: Fasten the new caster wheels to the new brackets on the robot with the supplied M8 lock nuts and bolts using a 13 mm torque wrench. Tighten until the black center part (hub) cannot rotate, but the gray part (wheel track) can rotate freely.
