hello everyone,
we are shopping for a used robot and I am wondering which robot is cheapest in terms of servicing, spare parts, training and maintenance. anyone knows hourly cost for service technician for e.g. fanuc, kuka, abb and yaskawa ? this is for simple pick and place application (max weight 20lb including tool). I am residing in ontario, canada
thanks

Must read item 2 on this link:

RDC and IO module have separate powers. RDC has buffered power and it goes through F21. The IO module power is w/o battery backup and goes through F6. Therefore if F6 is busted robot can still have power, will show no faults and able to run it without any issue except X41 IO's wont work.

what type of controller do you have ? Compact or Smallsize? check PMB fuses inside the cabinet. in case of compact the PMB board is attached to the lid. Smallsize controller has CCU board attached to bottom panel. Look for solid red LEDs on CCU/PMB board and replace fuse if needed.

Origin of cartesian workspace is relative to the WORLD coordinate system. System integrator manual explains it well.

in AutoExt mode mxAutomation controls program override. Function block in PLC e.g. "KRC_SetOverride" controls it.

Not sure if physically something was moved ? assuming if WorkVisual configuration is okay then "No connection to RDC" could also means - Physical connection between controller and robot. Typically there are two cable that go from controller to robot X20-X30 (Power cable) and X21-X31 (Data cable). Did you inspect X21 connector on controller (Check each pin . Additionally you can inspect X34 (Blue RJ45 connector on CCU board-CCU board is attached to controller hood inside). Blinking LED by the X34 connector would tell you if Robot and controller are seeing each other or not!!

- Servo side (input side) it looks like it might need input radial seal replacement. A2 servo can be removed for inspection to verify source of leak (of course take safety measures).
- Below A2 gear unit (Output side) - perform inspection to verify source of leak, check A2 gear output seal
Leaks could be results of overfilling oil in gear units, wrong load data could affect robot in long run, collisions.
