Industrial Articulated Robot Maintenance
What Are Articulated Robots and Why Do They Need Maintenance?
Articulated robots are multi-jointed robotic arms, often referred to as six-axis robots, commonly used for tasks such as assembly, packaging, and welding. These robots mimic the flexibility and reach of a human arm. Articulated robot maintenance is essential to ensure they perform at peak efficiency, reducing downtime and extending the life of the robot. Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected failures, keeps your systems running smoothly, and minimizes costly repairs in the future.
Regular maintenance of articulated robots ensures they operate at their best, increasing efficiency and precision during tasks like assembly or packaging.
Routine checks can prevent sudden malfunctions, reducing downtime and costly repairs in the long term.
Proper maintenance extends the life of industrial robots, allowing them to work efficiently for years, ensuring a higher return on investment.
Routine Maintenance Tasks for Articulated Robots
Proper maintenance reduces risk and keeps your robots in top shape. We create custom six-axis robot maintenance plans tailored to robot type, application, and duty cycle.
Routine tasks include:
Joint lubrication and gear oil changes
Encoder alignment and zeroing
Cable inspections and flex harness checks
Brake testing and load validation
Control cabinet cooling and fan replacement
Backup and verification of robot programs and calibration data
We also log wear levels and usage stats for predictive alerts—ensuring you act before problems occur. Our field teams service robots from FANUC, ABB, Yaskawa, KUKA, and more.
Troubleshooting and Repair for Articulated Robotic Arms
When breakdowns happen, our articulated robot repair experts respond fast. We diagnose mechanical faults, replace failed components, and restore full function with minimal disruption.
Common repairs include:
Joint or axis errors
Broken gear reducers
Faulty servo amplifiers or encoders
Cable sheath damage
Unstable movement or inconsistent pathing
We use OEM-grade parts, factory-aligned calibration methods, and full testing protocols to confirm your system returns to spec. If needed, we also re-teach points, reload robot configurations, or perform zero-position recovery. Our team brings deep expertise to every make and model of articulated robotic arms.
Preventive Maintenance Plans for Long-Term Upkeep
Proactive maintenance saves time, money, and production headaches. Our scheduled industrial robot upkeep services are built to support your maintenance team and extend system life.
We offer:
Monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual checkups
Site-wide robot audits
Maintenance documentation and history tracking
Predictive failure alerts through performance trends
Spare parts planning and lifecycle analysis
Whether you operate a single robot or a fleet of multi-brand systems, we design a plan that fits your schedule and supports uptime. Our technicians keep your equipment aligned, clean, and fully supported—so you can focus on production, not repairs.
Advanced Testing and Joint Calibration Services
SCARA robots depend on precise movement coordination. When cycles slow, drift occurs, or movements become erratic, the root cause often lies in the control system.
Our repair team handles servo tuning, PLC errors, HMI faults, and failed I/O connections. We reprogram motion paths, recalibrate arms, and run logic diagnostics to identify control board issues or signal interference. We also check wiring between the robot, controller, and safety systems to ensure reliable, repeatable performance. If your robot is misfiring or missing cycle marks, we’ll fix the code or component behind it.
Six-Axis Robot Safety Inspection and Compliance
Safety matters—especially when robots are operating near humans or automated equipment. We perform safety inspections during six-axis robot maintenance visits to ensure your system complies with OSHA, RIA, and ISO standards.
We check:
Emergency stop systems and safety relays
Light curtain and interlock functionality
Safe zone configuration and verification
Brake hold reliability during power loss
Controller lockout/tagout and override prevention
You’ll receive a safety checklist, repair recommendations, and documentation support for audits or internal reviews.
