We are having issues with our ABB robot loosing world position, are are constantly re-calibrating it. Any suggestions.

I've had brakes slip when the motor seals leak, but they usually generate a different error.
Does the motor get hot? (I presume the robot isn't pushing against a limit switch.)Load/definition tool seems fine
will check limit switch today.
Thanks for your help.
Much appreciated -
You probably already have, but check the load/tool definition.
How heavy is it, and how fast is it trying to move?
Does it fault if you slow down the motion?
Is it always the same axis? (Which one?)Thanks I will check the load/tool definition,
Not always the same joint sometimes irb2
It only does it when it sits idle in automatic mode for about 4 to 6 minutes. it drop down abot 5 inches. -
There is nothing in the way for it to hit.
And it is being used to weld, I run it at 60% on rapids, and it's a simple straight in circular pattern and straight out the same way in. The reason i'm asking as it does this on every program I run. -
What would cause this error?
Could it be software or hardware?
Or programming?
IRB2400 S4 controller basic 2.0 -
With a bit of manual re-programing i managed to get rid of the issue between WD1 and WD2.
Power source is an old Hobart Arc-Master 501
Controller is S4
I get both 110008 Ign Failure and 110003 Arc Supervision
Plus I get error code 50056 if i leave the robot idle for more than 4 minutes, which mean I have to take it out of automatic mode and either manually jog it till it decides it's clear or shut robot down wait 3 minutes to clear issue.
When it does this the torch head drops about 4 to 5 inches, and sometimes when i go to manually jog the robot I get a load screech, sounds like metal on metal. -
I am having trouble getting weld voltage, wire ipm set properly. We have an older ABB 2400 and trying to weld a lever arm with a 1/2 in hole to a 1/2 in stainless steel shaft. at the moment seam data for start is 21.6 volts and 285 ipm, weld data 1 is WS 8, Voltage 21.5, wire fd is 295, wd2 is WS 14, voltage is 21.3 and WF is 285. Using 309L stainless wire and C25 gas. constantly getting arc outs at start and going from WD1 to WD2.
Please don't get to technical with the robot language I have no formal training just fly by the seat of my pants with this thing for the last 6 years.
