4. Recommended Inspection Activities
It is recommended to perform preventive maintenance on the control box and
robot at least once per year. In case of use in dirty or dusty environments it is
recommended to increase the frequency.
In case dust/dirt/oil is observed on the controller or robot arm, it can be wiped away using a cloth
with cleaning agent. Cleaning agent: Water, Isopropyl alcohol, 10% Ethanol alcohol or 10%
Naphtha.
In very rare cases, very small amounts of grease can seep from the joint. This does not affect
the specified function or lifetime of the joint.
NOTICE
Never use compressed air to clean the controller or robot arm as it can damage
the seals and internal components
