Maintenance Plan

Overview

The maintenance intervals may have to be adapted to the greatly varying operational hours depending on the application.

For procedures to replace the different parts, refer to Replacing Parts.

Interval	Action
Every 150 hours of operation or weekly	Verify the robot by visual inspection for any damage or missing parts, especially moving parts and parts at risk for collisions such as grippers, upper arms, lower arms, parallel plate, or parallel linkage rods. Replace the arms or the parallel linkage rods if these are bent or dented. Clean the robot mechanics.
Every 1,000 hours of operation or every three months	Verify all moving parts for bolted connections. Verify the output shaft sealing of gearboxes for deposits of dirt and clean.
Every 3,000 hours of operation or every six months	Verify the arm bearings and replace them if necessary. Verify the parallel plate bearings and replace them if necessary. Verify the bearing lever parallel linkage and replace them if necessary.
Annually	Verify the parallel rod system and replace or lubricate the ball ends of the parallel rods with a grease gun if necessary. Verify the brake function during operation.
Every 20,000 hours of operation	Replace the main gearboxes and motors.
Every 40,000 hours of operation	Replace the upper arms.
Every 1,000 emergency stop situations	Replace the upper arms.

NOTE: The gearbox and the bearings have been lubricated for life.
