3.2.3 Expected component lifeGeneralThe expected life of a specific component of the robot can vary greatly dependingon how hard it is run.Expected component life - protection type StandardNoteExpected lifeComponentNot including:• Possible SpotPackharnesses• Optional upper armharnesses40,000 hours iiCable harnessNormal usage iNot including:• Possible SpotPackharnesses• Optional upper armharnesses20,000 hours iiCable harnessExtreme usage iii40,000 hours ivBalancing device40,000 hoursGearboxes vi Examples of "normal usage" in regard to movement: most material handling applications.ii Severe chemical or thermal environments, or similar environments, can result in shortened lifeexpectancy.iii Examples of "extreme usage" in regard to movement: press tending, very severe palletizingapplications, major use of axis 1 movement.iv The given life for the balancing device is based on a test cycle of 4,000,000 cycles that starts fromthe initial position and goes to maximum extension, and back. Deviations from this cycle will resultin differences in expected life!v The SIS for an IRC5 system is described in the Operating manual - Service Information System.3HAC044266-001 Revision: - 103© Copyright 2013 ABB.
