The Importance and Necessity of Robot maintenance

Correct and standardized preventive maintenance of robots can ensure their normal operation to the greatest extent, achieve high-efficiency output, and thereby reduce production costs. Therefore, correct and standardized preventive maintenance of robots is an indispensable task for their normal use.

The running-in period for the robot's operation is from normal operation to 6,000 hours or one year later (whichever comes first). The robot needs to undergo preventive maintenance, including in-depth inspections and replacement of the lubricating oil in the gearbox. After this, the robot must undergo preventive maintenance once every 12 months to effectively reduce the robot's failure rate, ensure the running accuracy of the trajectory and increase the robot's service life.

The differences before and after maintenance:

At the end of the maintenance cycle, there may be hidden dangers in the operation status of the machine, and there is a risk that the machine may shut down at any time.

After the robot has reached the maintenance cycle, the iron content in the lubricating oil/grease inside the robot reducer is too high or it has deteriorated. Continuing to use it will pose the following risks:

High iron content or deteriorated lubricating oil/grease flowing inside the reducer can cause the motor load to increase, heat up and burn out. 2. Lubricating oil/grease with high iron content flows into the seals of the reducer or motor, causing friction and damaging the seals, thus incurring expensive maintenance costs.

After the robot reaches the maintenance cycle, the aging or depletion of vulnerable spare parts may lead to excessively high internal temperature of the robot, malfunction of safety devices, abnormal indication status, power-on operation failure, data loss, etc

Conduct in-depth inspections of each component of the robot and monitor its operational status to identify potential hazards and formulate preventive treatment plans, thereby avoiding sudden shutdowns.

Replace the lubricating oil/grease according to the prescribed maintenance cycle to ensure sufficient lubrication inside the gearbox and extend the service life of the robot.
