IRB6640 first service interval

    The IRB6640 robots have now 5000 duty hours.
    Normally first service interval is at 6000 duty hours, is this ok to do the oil change for axis 1-2-3-6 now (because there is a plant shutdown now) or is it better to wait until 6000 duty hours?

    Good Question,
    The manual don't mention about this situation although there is a Service Routine which show the gearbox lifetime. The lifetime
    has 40,000 hours as standard value but this depends on the torque used and speed. Then you could analyze the data comparing with
    expected lifetime and how much % has already used.


    On other hand there is the production... 1000 hours considering 16 hours per day results about 60 days. Would be possible to do the preventive 60 days from now? Maybe not... In my opnion would be better do it now in this case.


    To reinforce the gearbox status you could collect the lubrificant during the procedure and send to a company to be analyzed.
