Corrective maintenance of industrial robots
Diagnose the breakdown, get your robot back into service and limit the impact on your production.
Corrective maintenance (also called curative maintenance) is needed when an industrial robot shows a fault, a breakdown, abnormal behaviour or a stoppage that blocks production.
Robotique Concept supports manufacturers with the diagnostics, troubleshooting, parts replacement and recommissioning of KUKA, ABB, FANUC and Stäubli robots. The goal: identify the real cause of the problem, carry out the intervention safely and offer you a solution suited to your situation.
Need first-line assistance by phone or a remote diagnosis in an emergency? Call our technical support team on +33 9 83 56 54 56.
Request a corrective intervention
Send us the key information about your equipment and your needs. Our team will call you back to assess the situation and propose a suitable response.
When should you request corrective maintenance?
Corrective maintenance is needed when a robot can no longer operate normally or when its behaviour threatens production continuity.
This may involve a robot that has completely stopped, a recurring fault, path drift, a motor problem, a controller fault, an electrical failure, a software issue or a critical component that needs replacing.
- Industrial robot stopped;
- Recurring controller fault;
- Blocked axis, abnormal noise or mechanical play;
- Loss of accuracy or path drift;
- Loss of mechanical calibration (mastering);
- Drive, motor, board or power supply fault;
- Cable, teach pendant or connector problem;
- Unable to restart after a stop;
- Replacement of a critical part or sub-assembly.
Our diagnostic method
1. Context analysis
Brand, model, controller, displayed fault, history, application, cycle rate, last known event.
2. Mechanical inspection
Axes, gearboxes, wrist, on-arm cabling, mechanical play, noise, tight spots or blockages.
3. Electrical and controller inspection
Drives, boards, power supplies, connectors, batteries, teach pendant, cables and stored faults.
4. Software analysis
System messages, backups, parameters, programs, safety, restart and cell behaviour.
Possible actions after diagnosis
Depending on the diagnostic results, the intervention can lead to different actions:
- Recommissioning after a fault;
- Replacement of a faulty part;
- Exchange of a mechanical or electrical sub-assembly;
- System backup or restore;
- Parameter correction;
- Path check and functional tests;
- Preventive maintenance recommendations;
- Offer of new or reconditioned spare parts, subject to availability.
Robotique Concept has field experience with industrial robot parts and sub-assemblies: motors, drives, electronic boards, cables, teach pendants, controllers, wrists, gearboxes and critical components.
When a replacement is needed, we help you identify the right part number, check compatibility with the robot and organise recommissioning in the best possible conditions.
How should you prepare your service request?
To assess your breakdown quickly, send us as much information as possible with your request:
- Robot brand;
- Robot model;
- Controller type;
- Error message or fault code;
- Production status: robot running, degraded or stopped;
- Description of the symptom;
- Photos of the fault or installation, if available;
- Site location;
- Urgency level;
- A robot backup, if one is available.
Robotique Concept has been working on industrial robots since 2005, with strong expertise in KUKA equipment and field experience with the brands most widely used in production: ABB, FANUC and Stäubli.
Our approach combines diagnostics, spare parts knowledge, on-site intervention and actionable technical feedback. The goal is to get your equipment working again whenever possible, and to help you prevent the fault from recurring.
Is your robot faulty or stopped?
Describe your breakdown and tell us the brand, model, observed fault and production status. Our team will call you back to assess the situation.
Frequently asked questions about corrective maintenance
Corrective maintenance, also called curative maintenance, refers to work carried out after a fault or breakdown has occurred. Troubleshooting is part of this process: it aims to diagnose the cause of the problem, correct the fault and get the robot working again whenever possible.
Yes, depending on the brand, model, site location, team availability and parts required. The request form lets you specify whether the robot is in production, running in degraded mode or completely stopped.
It is not mandatory, but it is very helpful. A fault code, a photo of the controller message or a recent backup can speed up the technical assessment.
Depending on part numbers and availability, Robotique Concept can offer new or reconditioned spare parts, or parts from its industrial reuse network.
Yes. After troubleshooting, signs of wear or points requiring attention are often identified. Targeted preventive maintenance can then be scheduled to limit the risk of recurrence.
