Why Preventive Maintenance Matters
An unplanned robot failure during a data collection campaign or production run costs far more than scheduled maintenance. Joint wear, cable fatigue, sensor drift, and software updates all need regular attention. A simple maintenance schedule prevents 80% of common failures.
Maintenance Schedule
Daily: visual inspection, cable check, emergency stop test, home position verification. Weekly: joint range-of-motion check, gripper condition, camera lens cleaning, log review. Monthly: full calibration verification, torque sensor check, firmware updates, bearing noise inspection. Annually: full disassembly inspection, cable replacement, motor current measurement, safety certification renewal.
