3.2.3. Expected component life
General
The expected life of a component can vary greatly depending on how hard it is run.
Expected life
1)
The expected life can also be affected by assemblage of cabling other than standard options.
The given life is based on a test cycle that for every axis starts from the calibration position
to minimum angle to maximum angle and back to the calibration position. Deviations from
this cycle will result in differences in expected life! The life may also be affected by acid or
alkaline environment.
3)
The robot is dimensioned for a life of 8 years (350,000 cycles per year) in a normal
application. Depending on the actual application, the life of individual gearboxes may vary
greatly from this specification. The Service Information System (SIS), integrated in the robot
software, keeps track of the gearbox life in each individual case and will notify the user when
a service is due.
The SIS for an M2004 system is described in the Operating manual - Service Information
System. Document number can be found in section References on page 8.
