The use of robots has brought many benefits to manufacturers, but for them to continue to see these benefits, a robot equipment maintenance program must be implemented. The most common form of a robot maintenance program is preventive maintenance. Preventive maintenance is the planned maintenance of facilities and equipment designed to eliminate unexpected failures and extend the life of robots. These maintenance operations are critical to keeping the robot reliable.

What is preventive maintenance?
Preventive maintenance aims to extend the life of robot equipment through painting, lubrication, cleaning, adjustment and replacement of small parts. Tests, periodic inspections and pre-planned maintenance activities are used to correct or prevent any problems that may arise. The main goal is to troubleshoot and minimize malfunctions Most robots break down through wear and tear, but preventive maintenance can help you avoid this. By preventing failures, the productivity and quality of the producers increase. Costs are reduced through the protection of assets. In other words, the longer life of the robot equipment means that the money that has to be spent for the next year is eliminated. They also have the potential to produce more. As they last longer, robots are proving invaluable to manufacturers. Preventive Maintenance Practices In order to have a successful preventive maintenance program, it is important to carry out a strict program with frequent monitoring. The program should focus on fixing problems found during cleaning, lubrication and inspection. Implementing maintenance training among employees is also critical, as warranties are limited. Having your own service personnel allows you to have fast repair time.
