3.1 Introduction for Foundry Prime robots

Introduction
The Foundry Prime robots are designed for installation and operation in very hard
environments. Misuse of the robots, as well as poor installation, cleaning,
maintenance, and repair can be harmful for the functioning of the robot.
To eliminate these risks appropriate equipment and procedures are required when
installing, cleaning, maintaining, and repairing ABB Foundry Prime robots.
An extended maintenance program including service activities and schedule is
required.
Cleaning and maintenance of robots with Foundry Prime protection shall be
performed by trained personnel.
Specific maintenance activities and intervals for Foundry Prime
The Foundry Prime robots have specific maintenance activities and intervals
compared to standard robots:
Preventive measures every 6 months secure the uptime of the robot:
Activity to lubricate gearboxes cavities and gears
Run each axis on high speed at least one occasion per hour. This activity will
lubricate the gearbox cavities and gears, which reduce the risk for corrosion due
to condensation in gearboxes.
Non-predictable situations
Non-predictable situations can give rise to inspections of the robot. Any damages
must be attended to immediately!
