Collaborative Robot (Cobot) Repair & Troubleshooting
Unique Challenges in Collaborative Robot (Cobot) Repair
Collaborative robots (cobots) work directly with people—and that means repairs must be precise, safe, and fully compliant. From safety sensors to joint calibration, collaborative robot repair requires a specialized approach.
Cobots rely on force-limiting motors, integrated sensors, and software-based safety systems. When one of these fails, it can compromise both uptime and operator safety. Our cobot repair service teams are trained in leading platforms like Universal Robots, FANUC CR series, and ABB YuMi. We diagnose mechanical faults, resolve sensor misreads, update safety firmware, and recalibrate every axis to factory specs.
Whether your robot stopped mid-task or shows drift, we’ll fix it fast—with no guesswork.
Ensuring Safe Operation Post-Cobot Repair
Safety is not optional with collaborative robotics—it’s essential. After any repair, your cobot must meet strict functional safety standards to ensure it can safely share space with operators.
We verify all collision detection features, test emergency stop functions, and ensure full compliance with ISO 10218 and RIA TR 15.606 safety standards. Our team performs risk assessments and confirms correct zone configuration before the system is cleared for production.
For manufacturers using collaborative robots in medical, electronics, or packaging industries, this level of validation isn’t just smart—it’s required.
Cobot Maintenance Tips for Prolonged Lifespan
Just like any industrial asset, your cobot needs care to perform at its best. Our cobot maintenance services include scheduled health checks, firmware updates, joint tensioning, and sensor testing.
We recommend a quarterly or bi-annual maintenance schedule, depending on your application’s intensity. We’ll inspect cable routing, end-of-arm tooling, safety inputs, and drive wear. Lubrication, IP seal checks, and configuration backups are also included. With regular service, you prevent unexpected breakdowns and ensure that your collaborative robot performs with repeatable accuracy and minimal downtime.
Common Collaborative Robot Issues We Fix
Cobots may be lightweight and flexible, but they still face serious wear in high-cycle environments. We regularly diagnose and resolve:
Axis drift or misalignment
Force sensor calibration issues
Communication failures (modbus, ethernet/IP)
Joint backlash or mechanical play
Fault codes during startup or during movement
We use specialized diagnostic tools and manufacturer-approved testing methods to identify faults quickly. No matter the issue, our cobot repair service gets your collaborative robot back to full functionality—safely and efficiently.
Troubleshooting Software, End-Effectors, and Safety Protocols
Cobots are more than arms—they rely on software, custom grippers, and tightly integrated safety protocols. That’s why we also troubleshoot programming faults, I/O mapping, fieldbus errors, and end-of-arm tooling compatibility.
We support URScript, Polyscope, and custom programming environments. Whether your robot isn’t responding to a trigger, failing to recognize force thresholds, or behaving unpredictably, we’ll uncover the root cause and correct it. We also test vision integration and peripheral communication with PLCs, sensors, and HMI systems to ensure full workflow recovery.
