Routine maintenance on 20 LR MATE 200iD robots
Maintaining the reliability of robots
by extending their service life and
assessing any potential issues to
prevent machine downtime
In the food sector, where production continuity is a fundamental requirement, keeping plant efficient and reliable is essential to ensure the smooth flow of production.
For this reason, a company in the food sector has chosen to entrust us at ROBO FEED with the routine maintenance of 20 FANUC LR Mate 200iD robots, through a programme of scheduled interventions at two different times of the year.
The first phase, carried out during a scheduled production shutdown in June, involved 10 FANUC LR Mate 200iD robots. The second phase, scheduled for December, will involve a further 10 robots of the same model.
This proactive approach allows maintenance activities to be organised in line with production requirements, with the aim of maintaining the performance of the automation systems and reducing the risk of unexpected downtime.
Within the food production plant, the FANUC LR Mate 200iD robots form an integral part of the automated processes and require regular checks to ensure they remain in good working order.
The customer’s requirement was to organise the routine maintenance of the 20 industrial robots through scheduled interventions, thereby avoiding the need to concentrate all activities into a single period.
The solution identified involved dividing the maintenance programme into two phases:
This approach allows maintenance activities to be integrated into the plant’s schedule, minimising the impact of the work on normal production requirements.
During the first phase of the programme, ROBO FEED technicians carried out the scheduled routine maintenance on the 10 FANUC LR Mate 200iD robots.
The project involved a series of essential operations for the proper management and maintenance of the robotic systems’ performance:
Routine maintenance should not be viewed merely as a task to be carried out only when problems or malfunctions arise.
Planning maintenance tasks means adopting a preventative approach to automation management, helping to safeguard productivity and the value of the systems over time.
In particular, scheduled maintenance enables you to:
The reliability of industrial automation depends not only on its design and installation, but also on the ability to maintain it in proper working order over time.
ROBO FEED supports companies both in the development of new robotic solutions and in the routine maintenance and technical support of existing FANUC robots, assisting production and maintenance managers in the management of their systems.
Thanks to the technical expertise we have gained in industrial automation, our team carries out checks on the condition of the robots, performs scheduled maintenance tasks and helps to ensure their long-term reliability.
Schedule maintenance today to reduce the risk of production downtime tomorrow.
Whether it’s a single robot or an entire fleet of automated systems, ROBO FEED supports companies in organising and carrying out routine maintenance.
