The routine maintenance inspection of ABB robots is a key link to ensure their stable operation and extended service life. The following are the main steps and contents of routine maintenance inspection of ABB robots:
1. Check the power supply and controller
Power access check:
Verify that the main power supply of the robot is correctly connected and the voltage is stable.
Check the power socket, power cable, and power switch.
Use a multimeter to measure whether the input voltage meets the requirements of the ABB robot (usually 220V or 380V, depending on the model).
Controller status check:
Observe the indicator status of the robot controller, especially the power indicator and fault indicator.
If the power indicator is off, it may indicate that the controller does not receive power signals. If the fault indicator is on, an error code may have been recorded in the controller and you need to query it further.
2. Check the battery and memory
Battery level check:
Ensure that the battery in the controller is fully charged. If the battery is too low, the controller may fail to start or save Settings.
Memory and hard disk check:
Check that the controller's memory and hard disk are working properly, sometimes system failure or software corruption may also cause the robot to fail to start.
3. Check the communication and network connection
IO interface check:
Check whether the IO interface between the robot and the control cabinet is firmly connected and whether the signal transmission is normal.
Network connection check:
If the robot control system relies on a network connection (such as remote monitoring or data exchange), check that the network connection is stable and ensure that network equipment and wiring are trouble-free.
4. Check mechanical parts
Shaft brake test:
Run the shaft of each manipulator to its maximum load position, then turn off the motor and check that the shaft remains in place to verify the reliability of the brake.
Lubrication check:
Regularly check and replace the necessary lubrication grease to ensure the smooth operation of the mechanical parts.
Special attention is paid to the lubrication of auxiliary gears, gears, hollow wrists and other parts.
Cleaning and maintenance:
Clean the robot body, control cabinet and surrounding environment regularly to prevent dust, oil and other impurities from affecting the operation of the equipment.
5. Check software and parameters
Software Update:
Verify that the robot control software is up to date; older software may have known bugs or compatibility issues.
Parameter configuration check:
Check whether the parameters of the robot are correctly configured, including motion parameters, control parameters, etc.
Log file analysis:
Detailed analysis of the controller's log files to look for possible abnormal operations or events can help further narrow down the problem.
6. Restore drills and data backup
Recovery drill:
Regular recovery drills are conducted to ensure that the robot can be quickly restored to normal working conditions in the event of a serious failure.
Data backup:
Regularly back up robot control software, configuration parameters and important data in case of data loss or corruption.
