3.2.2 Maintenance scheduleGeneralThe robot must be maintained regularly to ensure proper function. The maintenanceactivities and intervals are specified in the table below.Non-predictable situations also give rise to inspections of the robot. Any damagesmust be attended to immediately!The inspection intervals do not specify the life of each component.Activities and intervals, standard equipmentThe table below specifies the required maintenance activities and intervals andalso refers to the section where performing the activity is detailed.Detailed in section:NoteIntervalMaintenance activityLubricated for life.Maintenance free units.40000 hOil change in gearboxes,axes 1,2, 3Oil change, gearboxaxis 6 (wrist unit) onpage 102.No preventive mainten-ance in terms of chan-ging the gear oil isneeded when gearboxis lubricated with ShellTivela S 150.-Oil change in wrist unitReplacement of SMBbattery on page 104.Battery pack, measure-ment system with 2-pole battery contact,e.g. DSQC633ABattery lowalert iReplacement of batterypack, SMB unitReplacement of SMBbattery on page 104.Battery pack, measure-ment system of typeRMU101 or RMU102 (3-pole battery contact)36 months orbattery lowalert iiReplacement of batterypack, SMB unitReplace if required.36 mthsInspection of all signalcabling in lower and up-per armReplace if bent.60 mthsReplacement of mechan-ical stop axis 1i 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. See Operating manual - IRC5 withFlexPendant for instructions.ii 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.3HAC026048-001 Revision: E 97© Copyright 2006-2013 ABB.
