Axis repeatability and backlash
Check belts if used for some of the axis

Robot Grease and oil replacement

(Use recommended grease!!! Or Serious damage will occur)
Be sure to burp the grease out by moving the robot after pumping through
If using a pneumatic or electrical grease gun. Make sure the output pressure is within

Abb Robot Maintenance Manual Count on ABB Robotics to support your maintenance needs throughout the entire robot life cycle. Maintenance from ABB Robotics includes preventive maintenance, remote condition monitoring, life cycle assessment, inspection and diagnostics, refurbishment and reconditioning services. ABB Library is a web tool for searching for documents related to ABB products and services. Ex II (2) GD (option +L537+Q971) for ACS880 drives user's manual. Mechanical installation, electrical installation, parameter settings, start-up and validation test, fault tracing, maintenance, technical data. Do not forget plenty of us are quite happy using FANUC or Kuka robots! You'll already loosing sales ABB's advantage has really only ever been the engineering tools and amazing documentation. Hands down no contest I'll use Kuka or FANUC robots over ABB if either did 80% of the ABB.
