3.2.2 Maintenance scheduleGeneralThe robot must be maintained regularly to ensure proper function. The maintenanceactivities and intervals are specified in the table below.Unexpected situations that arise prompt inspection of the robot. Any damage mustbe attended to immediately!The inspection intervals do not specify the life of each component.Maintenance scheduleThe table below specifies the required maintenance activities and intervals:Detailed in sectionIntervalEquipmentMaintenanceactivity40,000 hrsGearbox oil, axes 1 to 4Maintenancefree IRB 1600Replace any damaged,missing or unreadablelabels.12 monthsInformation labelsInspectionInspecting informationlabels on page 135Changing the oil in axes5 and 6 gearboxes onpage 138.20,000 hrsGearbox oil, axes 5 and 6IRB 1600ChangingChanging the oil in axes5 and axis 5 and 6 gear-boxes, IRB1600ID/1660ID onpage 14120,000 hrsGearbox oil, axes 5-6IRB 1600ID-4/1.5ChangingChanging the oil in axes5 and axis 5 and 6 gear-boxes, IRB1600ID/1660ID onpage 14120,000 hrsGearbox oil, axes 5-6IRB 1660ID-X/1.55ChangingReplacing the batterypack on page 14436 months or bat-tery low alert iBattery pack, measurementsystem of type RMU101 orRMU102 (3-pole batterycontact)ReplacementReplacing the batterypack on page 144.Battery low alert iiBattery pack, measurementsystem with 2-pole batterycontact, e.g. DSQC633AReplacementCleaning the IRB1600/1660ID on page149Regular iiiComplete robotCleaningi The battery low alert (38213 Battery charge low) is displayed when the battery needs to be replaced.The recommendation to avoid an unsynchronized robot is to keep the power to the controller turnedon until the battery is to be replaced.See the replacement instruction for more details.ii The battery low alert (38213 Battery charge low) is displayed when remaining backup capacity(robot powered off) is less than 2 months. The typical lifetime of a new battery is 36 months if therobot is powered off 2 days/week or 18 months if the robot is powered off 16 h/day. The lifetimecan be extended with a battery shutdown service routine.
