Condition-Based Maintenance

 

ABB's Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) service provides greater predictability around maintenance operations and regular check-ups, letting you get the most from your installed robots. By eliminating unexpected downtime caused by failures or delays in obtaining spare parts to fix a fault, you can optimize your production efficiency.

 

Visibility for better preventive maintenance planning

Expert advice

Comprehensive risk assessment to identify potential threats to your assets

Customized for you

Customized maintenance strategies tailored to your unique needs

Collaborative implementation

We work closely with your team to implement the recommend-ed strategies seamlessly

 

Key benefits

Get a detailed, documented overview of how your robots are used in the plant to justify future investments
CBM gives you transparency about your most “stressed” robots and provides you with the root causes
It prevents the risk of unexpected gearbox breakdown in production and recommends a proper strategy with the most “stressed” robots
Support in defining and optimizing the budget for spare parts (look ahead to future replacement)
Get strategic insights to upgrade robots to a newer version, when applicable (for example IRB6640 to IRB 6700)

 

Drive your business success with optimized maintenance planning

Detect potential faults early, whether for a single robot or your entire fleet

Detailed analysis of robots’ performance and recommendations:

  • Classification of robots based on duty factor
  • Robot overview
  • Summary table
  • Data analysis
  • Individual maintenance recommendations
  • Conclusion
  • Rating

CBM analyzes the motion cycle of each ABB robot to help detect highly stressed robots within a production line.

It uses statistical data gathered over the last two decades from thousands of ABB robots worldwide to evaluate them according to a specific set of criteria. The result is then used to compare your robot’s performance against the global average.

An in-depth study of each robot produces a more detailed report based on recorded system data, containing recommendations from ABB technical experts for customized preventive maintenance.

Prioritize your maintenance plan

Tailor and prioritize your maintenance plan according to the usage and criticality of the robot.

 

Identify the most highly stressed robots in your factory and get expert advice

The analysis results are presented in a summary table with a graphical color scheme that clearly indicates the status of each axis and the overall health of the robot, as indicated by the calculated joint usage score. The customer is provided with an official report that includes the robot overview, summary table, data analysis, individual maintenance recommendations, conclusions, and system rating.
