5.2 Overhaul
The parts for the manipulator joints may cause accuracy decline or malfunction
due to deterioration of the manipulator resulting from long term use. In order to
use the manipulator for a long term, it is recommended to overhaul the parts (parts
replacement).
Although the degree of deterioration varies depending on usage condition and the
load applied on the Manipulator, timing of the overhaul is 20,000 operation hours
of the Manipulator as a rough indication.
The manipulator operation hours can be checked in [Controller Status Viewer]
dialog -[Motor On Hours].

dialog.
(2) Click the <View Controller Status> button to open the [Browse For Folder]
dialog.
(3) Select the folder where the information is stored.
(4) Click <OK> to view the [Controller Status Viewer] dialog.
(5) Select [Robot] from the tree menu on the left side.
