Robot Maintenance 355

Robot Maintenance provides an overview of the maintenance and repair of industrial robots and their components. The efficient operation of all robotic equipment depends on proper maintenance. Regular maintenance activities for industrial robots may include lubricating all moving parts, maintaining bearing and gear systems, maintaining servomotors and other power systems, caring for electrical components, and keeping all controller hardware and software updated and in working order. Utilizing preventive and predictive maintenance plans is the most efficient and cost-effective way to implement maintenance, rather than waiting until critical components break and fail. After taking this class, users will understand the basic activities and considerations associated with robot maintenance and repairs. Robot maintenance is important for ensuring proper operation and safety within an industrial facility.
