Reliability
MTBM (Mean Time Between Maintenance)
Mean Time Between Maintenance
Average operating time between maintenance events, whether preventive or corrective.
Examples
- 01MTBM for the robot welding cell is 210 operating hours, counting both planned tip changes and unplanned repairs.
- 02Before changing maintenance intervals, reliability engineering reviews MTBM together with the failure history of each robot.
- 03After a new tip dresser is installed, MTBM rises to 340 hours and frees about 6 maintenance hours a week.
