3 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
The tool changers and the tool attachments must be maintained regularly to ensure proper
function. The specified intervals are approximate and valid under normal conditions,
corresponding to 2 tool changes per minute during 2 work shifts per working day, i.e. 42.000 tool
changes per month. Under extreme conditions, such as dirty environments or extreme robot
movements, the intervals should be shortened. Consider the table as a guide and update as
your production experience of each system increases.
NOTE
Read the safety section 1.2 before any maintenance activities are carried out.
NOTE!
Tool changers must only be dismantled and repaired by Robot System Products
during the warranty period. Otherwise the warranty will not be valid.
