MTBM (Mean Time Between Maintenance)

Mean Time Between Maintenance

Average operating time between maintenance events, whether preventive or corrective.

Examples

  1. 01MTBM for the robot welding cell is 210 operating hours, counting both planned tip changes and unplanned repairs.
  2. 02Before changing maintenance intervals, reliability engineering reviews MTBM together with the failure history of each robot.
  3. 03After a new tip dresser is installed, MTBM rises to 340 hours and frees about 6 maintenance hours a week.
