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.

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.
