ABB Robotics IRB 6790 - Expected Component Life

3.2.3 Expected component life
General
The expected life of a specific component of the robot can vary greatly depending
on how hard it is run.
Note
For expected component life of Foundry Prime robots see Expected component
life - protection type Foundry Prime on page 99.

i
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 life
expectancy.
iii
Examples of "extreme usage" in regard to movement: press tending, very severe palletizing
applications, 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 from
the initial position and goes to maximum extension, and back. Deviations from this cycle will result
in differences in expected life!
v
The SIS for an IRC5 system is described in the Operating manual - Service Information System.
Expected component life - protection type Foundry Prime
The demanding nature of using Foundry Prime robots in a washing application,
can shorten the life of the robot’s components compared to that of standard robots
in a typical robotic application. See Expected component life - protection type
Standard on page 99for standard robots. Depending on the actual washing
application, the life of an individual robot can vary or being reduced.
The life of Foundry Prime robots in washing applications will depend on a number
of factors. The most important factors are:
• the washing detergent used
• the ambient environment
• installation, maintenance, and repair procedures
• the operation cycle of the robot.
