in the robot software, can be used as a guidance for planning service of gearbox for the individual
robot. This applies to gearboxes on axes 1, 2 and 3. The lifetime of gearbox axes 4, 5 and 6 is not
calculated by SIS (See the Operating manual - Service Infomation System) In applications such as
Foundry or Washing the robot can be exposed to chemicals, high temperature or humidity which
can have an effect on the lifetime of gearboxes. Contact the local ABB Robotics Service team for
more information.
The SIS for an IRC5 system is described in the Operating manual - Service Information System.
