3.2.3 Expected component lifeGeneralThe expected life of a specific component of the robot can vary greatly dependingon how hard it is run.Expected component life - protection type StandardNoteExpected lifeComponentNot including:• Possible SpotPackharnesses• Optional upper armharnesses40,000 hours iiCable harnessNormal usage iNot including:• Possible SpotPackharnesses• Optional upper armharnesses20,000 hours iiCable harnessExtreme usage iii40,000 hoursGearboxes ivi Examples of "normal usage" in regard to movement: most material handling applications.ii Severe chemical or thermal environments, or similar environments, can result in shortened lifeexpectancy.iii Examples of "extreme usage" in regard to movement: press tending, very severe palletizingapplications, major use of axis 1 movement.iv Depending on application, the lifetime can vary. The Service Information System (SIS), integratedin the robot software, can be used as a guidance for planning service of gearbox for the individualrobot. This applies to gearboxes on axes 1, 2 and 3. The lifetime of gearbox axes 4, 5 and 6 is notcalculated by SIS (See the Operating manual - Service Infomation System) In applications such asFoundry or Washing the robot can be exposed to chemicals, high temperature or humidity whichcan have an effect on the lifetime of gearboxes. Contact the local ABB Robotics Service team formore information.The SIS for an IRC5 system is described in the Operating manual - Service Information System.120 Product manual - IRB 26003HAC035504-001 Revision: G© Copyright 2009-2015 ABB.
