3 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE 

The tool changers and the tool attachments must be maintained regularly to ensure proper 
function. The specified intervals are approximate and valid under normal conditions, 
corresponding to 2 tool changes per minute during 2 work shifts per working day, i.e. 42.000 tool 
changes per month. Under extreme conditions, such as dirty environments or extreme robot 
movements, the intervals should be shortened. Consider the table as a guide and update as 
your production experience of each system increases.
