Periodic maintenance tasks for all users
All users can perform the following maintenance tasks.
Weekly tasks
| Parts | Maintenance |
|---|---|
| Outer covers | Clean the robot on the outside with a damp cloth. Do not use compressed air to clean the robot. |
| Status lights | Check if the LED light band is intact. Ensure the light shows all the way around the robot. Clean with a soft cloth to ensure even lighting around the robot. |
| Signal lights | Check if the signal lights blink and show light correctly when the robot is moving. |
Safety laser scanners | Clean the optics covers of the scanners for optimum performance. Avoid aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents. Site conditions may affect the needed cleaning frequency. If the operating environment is very dusty, cleaning the safety laser scanners may be needed more often. Clean the side and top part of the optics cover. The contamination sensors scan the entire optics cover glass piece. In the robot interface under Monitoring > Hardware health > Safety system > Emergency stop, see if Laser (Front) Contamination Error and Laser (Back) Contamination Error is False. Static charges cause dust particles to be attracted to the optics cover. You can diminish this effect by using anti-static plastic cleaner. |
| Antennas | Check that the antennas are properly attached in their sockets. |
Monthly tasks
| Parts | Maintenance |
|---|---|
Caster wheels (the four corner wheels) | Remove dirt with a damp cloth, and make sure nothing is entangled in the wheels. Check that the wheels spin freely and do not emit grinding noises. Check that all bolts and screws are tight. |
Drive wheels (the two middle wheels) | Remove dirt with a damp cloth, and make sure nothing is entangled in the wheels. Wipe away any grease that may have leaked from the roller bearings. |
