General principles of maintenance
This manual is a description of preventive maintenance of AIR20-A operators.
For the maintenance of a complete set of industrial robot systems, it should
also include:
1.
Control cabinet maintenance-see "Control cabinet maintenance manual".
2.
End-effector maintenance-see related manual.
Warning
No maintenance can be performed until the Safety guidelines and safety
precautions are read, and maintenance can only be done by properly
trained technicians.
The primary objective of preventive maintenance is to ensure the
maximum use of the operating system. Every plan, and well-implemented
periodic maintenance, should help to achieve this goal. If regular
maintenance cannot achieve the goal of shortening the downtime of the
device, it is unnecessary to maintain and cause waste.
Robot systems are designed to work under rather demanding conditions
and require minimal maintenance. Nevertheless, daily inspection and
regular maintenance must be carried out according to a given interval
cycle.
The time interval in the maintenance table is the recommended value,
and the time interval actually required by the maintenance operator can
be changed due to the actual working environment of the manipulator.
When carrying out daily maintenance or maintenance, many precautions
must be kept in mind so as not to introduce additional errors or dangers
into the system.
For well-functioning equipment, do not carry out more maintenance than
required on a regular basis.
All surfaces should be wiped clean before starting the maintenance
process.
In order to avoid unnecessary pollution caused by the impurities such as
dust, the outside shall be cleaned before opening the control cabinet door
and the outer cover of the operating machine.
