Abstract

A method determines the servicing requirements of axes of a robot arm of an industrial robot. The data of a movement sequence of at least one axis during at least one working cycle of the industrial robot is made available. The rotational movements of the at least one axis are established on the basis of the data, and a servicing interval for the at least one axis is determined by an assessment of the rotational movements established. A system for determining a servicing requirement performs the method.
