Severe chemical or thermal environments, or similar environments, can result in shortened life
expectancy.

Depending on application, the lifetime can vary. The Service Information System (SIS) that is
integrated in the robot software can be used as guidance when planning gearbox service for the
individual robot. This applies to gearboxes on axes 1, 2, 3 and 6. In some applications, such as
Foundry or Washing, the robot can be exposed to chemicals, high temperature or humidity, which
can have an effect on the lifetime of the gearboxes. Contact the local ABB Robotics Service team
for more information.
The SIS for an M2004 system is described in the Operating manual - Service Information System.
