9. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
General
First, read the safety instructions in chapter 5. It is important to read and understand all safety instructions and to use
personal protective equipment (PPE) as per local regulations and company policies.
The maintenance of all mechanical and electrical parts must be done according to the maintenance instructions
of the supplier / sub-contractor / manufacturer.
Always turn off the power to the equipment when performing maintenance tasks to prevent electric shock.
Do not approach the robot if you have a pacemaker or implanted heart defibrillator or any other implanted cardiac
device. Keep a minimum distance of 60 cm!
The robot contains 2 very powerful magnets. When working on the robot extra caution should be taken to avoid
direct contact between steel tools and the magnets. Use nonmagnetic tools whenever possible. The magnets are
very strong and entrapment between the magnet (or robot parts) and metal objects can cause serious injuries. The
magnets will also affect sensitive electronic and mechanical equipment like cell phones, watches, and (bank) cards
with magnetic strips.
Maintenance may only be performed by trained and qualified personnel!
The customer is held liable for consequential damage or loss such as damaged products, production downtime, etc.
by a failure of the system due to inadequate maintenance or lack of maintenance.
Frequency of inspection and maintenance
3.4 F-04 Inspection and Maintenance Schedule describes the inspection and maintenance intervals and activities.
The common interval for inspection and maintenance is every 250 hours of operation or 6 months, whichever comes
first. The hours of operation of the system can be checked with the hours counter inside the control box, see section
6.3. Always replace parts with original components as illustrated in the parts manual.
In general, the robot needs little maintenance besides regular cleaning. The wheels are the only common wear parts
and need replacement in case of worn rubber profile. Other parts only need to be replaced if inspection reveals
any issues, either due to damage or mechanical wear.
Inspection and maintenance activities
The following checks are required for the V700 Series robot (3.4 F-04 Inspection and Maintenance Schedule). See
322027 V700 Series Robot – IPM for explanation and details on robot parts and components:
ROBOT:
Robot frame: check for damages, clean, check tightness of all screws.
Protection frame: check for damages, clean, check integrity of lifting eye and tightness of mounting nut,
apply suitable anti-seize lubricant (e.g., Loctite LB8156) on (6x) M8 screws for connection to robot frame.
Front wheels: clean, check tightness of (6x) mounting screws, check rubber for damages and measure profile
depth. If profile is < 2mm, the wheels must be replaced.
Rear (caster) wheels: clean, check for damages and wear, check smooth rotation of bearings. If rotation is
not smooth, use pressurized air or low-pressure water jet to clean between surfaces.
Front magnet: clean, check for damages, check magnet height adjustment (full range). Use pressurized air
or low-pressure water jet to clean. If the dirt contains metal particles (e.g., residue from the surface cleaning)
it can be very inspect hard to remove this contamination from the magnet surface. Use a brush or a damp
cloth in this case. It might be required to disassemble and remove the magnet for cleaning. Disassembly
and removal of the magnet for cleaning may only be done by VertiDrive or trained and qualified
representatives.
