This course provides essential training for individuals who work with or support robots in manufacturing environments to ensure they operate smoothly, safely, and reliably. Designed with a brand-neutral approach, the fundamental maintenance practices covered are applicable to all major robot manufacturers including FANUC, ABB, Yaskawa, and KUKA.

The course emphasizes practical skills that enable faster problem diagnosis, efficient troubleshooting, and reduced downtime. Key topics include EOAT (End-Of-Arm Tooling) inspection and alignment, harness and servo amplifier maintenance, axis reducer replacement and calibration, and predictive maintenance strategies. Students will learn how mechanical, electrical, and control systems interact and develop observation skills to catch problems before costly failures occur.
Course Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Identify the major robotic hardware components (EOAT, servo amplifiers, and axis reducers) and their corresponding maintenance requirements.
  • Conduct basic inspections and component replacements in accordance with safe, industry-standard practices.
  • Diagnose common mechanical and electrical issues, including cable wear, grounding problems, and misalignment.
  • Apply correct torque, alignment, and calibration techniques during reassembly.
  • Implement preventive maintenance strategies that improve robot reliability and service life.
