Popis: Due to the increase in the number of automated processes that employ industrial robots (especially in industrial and laboratory environments, including vacuum systems), and the resulting increase in the number of unresolved service requests, the purpose of the authors’ research was to confirm the occurrence of disturbances in the form of voltage sags that are not recorded by automation systems and which lead to the destruction of robots or their equipment in areas defined by the characteristics of ITIC/SEMI F47 and CBEMA as being free from such disturbances. The article also describes the environmental classification of robots by their process functionalities/features, and recommends equipment that is able to compensate for these disturbances. Such a classification approach can be an excellent tool for building an exploitation culture and assist the conscious selection of electrical equipment in robotised systems susceptible to disturbances (e.g., robots in load-lock in vacuum environment).
