Comprehensive Service & Maintenance for Industrial Robotics
Like all manufacturing equipment, industrial robots and robot systems need planned maintenance to reduce unscheduled repairs. As a result, you prevent failures that cause slowdowns or shutdowns and maximise output. Furthermore, when robots don’t have regular maintenance checks, performance and consistency suffer on the production line, which can be costly. In worst cases, parts break and cause a shutdown of production.CNC Robotics specialises in providing its customers with the services required to keep their robots and associated automation equipment running at optimum efficiency. Furthermore, a range of annual service options are offered, all at affordable prices, to minimise unplanned downtime. These can include a risk assessment to evaluate and assess your system and then create a spare-parts inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to maintain a robot?
The cost of maintaining an industrial robot can vary significantly based on several factors, including the type of robot, its usage intensity, the complexity of tasks it performs, and the environment in which it operates. Here's a breakdown of the key elements that influence maintenance costs:
Type of Robot: Different robots have different maintenance needs. For example, a simple pick-and-place robot will generally have lower maintenance costs compared to a more complex 3D printing or machining robot system, which may require more frequent and specialized care.
Usage Intensity: Robots that operate continuously or perform high-intensity tasks will typically incur higher maintenance costs due to increased wear and tear.
Complexity of Tasks: Robots performing complex, precision tasks may need more frequent calibration and fine-tuning, adding to maintenance costs.
Operating Environment: Robots used in harsh environments (e.g., high temperatures, exposure to chemicals, or abrasive materials) may require more frequent maintenance and part replacements.
Preventive Maintenance Schedule: Regular preventive maintenance can actually reduce overall costs by preventing major breakdowns. However, this does mean a consistent investment in routine checks and servicing.
Spare Parts and Repair Costs: The availability and cost of spare parts can significantly impact maintenance expenses. Proprietary parts tend to be more expensive than generic ones.
Technical Expertise Required: The cost of skilled labor for maintenance, especially for complex robots, can be a substantial part of the maintenance budget.
For businesses, it's crucial to factor in these maintenance costs when calculating the total cost of robotic systems, as they can impact the overall return on investment (ROI). CNC Robotics provide one off maintenance call outs and also offer regular maintenance packages, which start from £2,500 per year.
