When using the KUKA control cabinet, the following aspects should be noted to ensure its normal operation and extend its service life:
Inspection and preparation
Appearance inspection:
Before use, carefully inspect the appearance of the control cabinet and robot to ensure that there is no damage or deformation.
Check if the door of the control cabinet is tightly closed to prevent dust and moisture from entering.
Wiring inspection:
Confirm that all wiring is properly connected, especially the battery wiring, to ensure that there is no looseness or detachment.
Check if the shielding layer of the cable is properly crimped to ensure conductivity with the casing.
Operating standards
Power management:
Before connecting the power supply, check whether the voltage of each power supply line in the control cabinet is within the specified range (such as 400V ± 10%, depending on the configuration).
When turning on the power, follow the correct sequence to avoid damage to the equipment caused by sudden power outages or voltage fluctuations.
Trial operation and inspection:
After turning on the power, use the teaching pendant to enter the trial operation mode according to the specified path, and check whether the movements of each axis of the robot are normal.
During the trial operation, pay attention to observing the operating status and alarm information of the robot, and promptly handle any abnormal situations.
Security configuration:
Ensure that the safety configuration between the robot and the control cabinet is correctly synchronized to avoid malfunctions or shutdowns caused by inconsistent safety configurations.
When changing security configurations, follow the prescribed steps and carefully confirm the changes made.
Maintenance and upkeep
Cleaning and maintenance:
Regularly clean the dust and dirt inside and outside the control cabinet to maintain good heat dissipation and operation of the equipment.
Check and tighten all wiring and screws to prevent malfunctions caused by looseness.
Fault handling:
When encountering faults or alarms, timely check the prompt information in the information window and follow the corresponding steps to handle them.
If the fault cannot be resolved by oneself, the supplier or professional maintenance personnel should be contacted in a timely manner for handling.
Backup and Recovery:
Regularly backup the program and configuration information of the robot to prevent production interruptions caused by data loss.
When data recovery is required, follow the prescribed steps and ensure the integrity and accuracy of the data.
Precautions
Avoid moisture and high temperatures:
The control cabinet should be placed in a dry and well ventilated environment to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or high temperatures.
Avoid electromagnetic interference:
The control cabinet should be kept away from strong electromagnetic interference sources, such as high-power motors, frequency converters, etc., to prevent faults caused by electromagnetic interference.
Regular maintenance:
Regularly maintain and upkeep the control cabinet according to the supplier's recommendations to ensure its long-term stable operation.
