Robot Preventive Maintenance (PM) is a proactive strategy involving scheduled inspections, cleaning, lubrication, and replacement of parts to keep industrial robots operating at peak efficiency and prevent unexpected breakdowns. Unlike reactive maintenance, which only addresses failures after they occur, PM aims to catch minor issues like wear and tear, loose connections, or software glitches early on, before they escalate into costly problems and prolonged downtime. This routine upkeep, which often includes backing up controller memory, checking brake functionality, and replacing batteries, significantly extends the robot's lifespan, ensures precision and consistency in manufacturing output, and enhances safety for personnel, ultimately leading to a higher return on the initial investment and lower long-term operational costs.
