2.5.12. Loads
General
Any loads mounted on the robot must be defined correctly and carefully (with regard to the
position of center of gravity and mass moments of inertia) in order to avoid jolting
movements and overloading motors, gears and structure.
CAUTION!
Incorrect defined loads may result in operational stops or major damage on the robot.
References
Load diagrams, permitted extra loads (equipment) and their positions are specified in the
Product Specification. The loads must also be defined in the software as detailed in User's
Guide(RobotWare 4.0)Operating manual IRC5 with FlexPendant.
2.6.1. Introduction
General
When installing the robot, make sure that it can move freely within its entire working space.
If there is a risk that it may collide with other objects, its working space should be limited.
The working range of the following axes may be restricted:
• Axis 1, hardware (mechanical stop) and software (signal from adjustable position
switch)
• Axis 2, hardware (mechanical stop) and software (signal from adjustable position
switch)
• Axis 3, hardware (mechanical stop) and software (signal from adjustable position
switch)
As standard configuration, axis 1 is allowed to move ± 180º. The working range may however
be increased to ± 220º with option 561-1 "Extended working range axis 1". Notice that this
option also requires installation of a position switch on axis 1.
This section describes how to install hardware that restricts the working range.
Notice that adjustments must also be made in the software. References to software manuals
are given in the following installation procedures.
© Copyright 2004 - 2008 ABB. All rights reserved.
General
The working range of axis 1 is limited by fixed mechanical stops and can be reduced by
adding additional mechanical stops giving 7.5 or 15 graduation, between 22.5° and 135° in
both directions.

General
Robots delivered with the Foundry Prime protection are specially designed to work in water
jet cleaning cells with 100% humidity and alkaline detergent. To ensure that the protection
offers the best reliability, some measures are needed during installation of the robot according
to the procedures below.
NOTE!
For best reliability, it is of highest importance that the special maintenance instructions for
the Foundry Prime robot are followed and documented.
Commissioning
• Never switch off the overpressure in motors and serial measurement compartment
during cooling down of robot after it has been switched off.
• When turning off a cleaning cell we recommend that the humid air inside a cell is
ventilated out, to avoid that the humid air is sucked into gearboxes for example, due
to the raised vacuum when cooled down.
Environmental conditions
The table below details the environmental conditions.
Parameter Value
Humidity 100%
Washing detergent with pH <9.0
Washing detergent must contain rust inhibitor
and be approved by ABB
Cleaning bath temperature <60°C, used in a typical waterjet cleaning

connector on robot base.
xx0700000450
Continued
WARNING!
No part of the robot should be exposed to direct high pressure jet of water. The sealings
between the moving parts on the wrist should not be exposed to direct or rebounding high-
pressure jet of water.
xx0600002792
General
The following should be taken in consideration when running a robot in a water jet
application cell:
CAUTION!
Never switch off the overpressure in motors and serial measurement compartment during
cooling down of robot after it has been switched off.
NOTE!
To reduce the risk for corrosion due to condensation in gearboxes, it is recommendable that
the robot is running with high speed on each axes at least on one occasion each hour. This is
to lubricate the gearbox cavities.
NOTE!
When turning off a cleaning cell we recommend that the humid air is ventilated out from the
cell, to avoid that the humid air is sucked into gearboxes for example, due to the raised

1. If the robot is run at ambient temperatures higher than 50°C, it may require
maintenance more frequently.
2. Replace when damage is detected or when approaching the life limit, specified in
Expected component life on page 134.
3. The battery is used as a back-up when the robot system is switched off. Therefore, the
life of a lithium battery depends on how frequently the power to the system is switched
off and also if the environment temperature is higher than recommended operating
temperature. The life varies from 12 - 36 mths, depending on current conditions. An
alert is given on the TPU or the FlexPendant when the battery is nearly discharged and
it must then be replaced within a month.
4. The interval is the same as with the interval for changing axis 2 gear oil, because the
type and degree of operation is similar.

General
The life of any component depends on how hard it is run, and it can vary greatly.
Expected life
1. The expected life can also be affected by grouping harnesses/cables other than
standard options.
2. The given life for the balancing device is based on a test cycle that goes from the initial
position to maximum extension, and back again. Deviations from this test cycle will
result in differences in expected life! The given life is based on a test cycle that for
every axis goes from the calibration position to minimum angle, to maximum angle
and back to the calibration position. Deviations from this test cycle will result in
differences in expected life!
3. The robot is dimensioned for a service life of 8 years (350,000 cycles per year) in a
normal spot welding application. Depending on the actual application, the life of
individual gearboxes may vary greatly from this specification. The SIS (Service
Information System) integrated in the robot software keeps track of the gearbox life in
each individual case and will notify the user when a service is due. For Foundry Prime
robots, working in 100% humidity, other service intervals may be required. The SIS is
described in manual Service Information System. Article number is specified in
section References.

Equipment
Action Note
1. To avoid contamination, let a new bearing remain in its wrapping
until it is time for fitting.
2. Ensure that all parts included in the bearing fitting are free from
burrs, grinding waste and other contamination. Cast components
must be free from foundry sand.
3. Bearing rings, inner rings and roller elements must under no cir-
cumstances be subjected to direct impact. Furthermore, the roller
elements must not be exposed to any stresses during the assembly
work.
Action Note
1. Tension the bearing gradually until the recommended pre-tension
is achieved.
NOTE!
The roller elements must be rotated at a specified number of turns
before pre-tensioning is carried out and also rotated during the pre-
tensioning sequence.
2. Make sure the bearing is properly aligned, as this will directly affect
the lifespan of the bearing.
Continued
Greasing of bearings
The bearings must be greased after assembly, according to instructions below:
• The bearings must not be completely filled with grease. However, if space is available
beside the bearing fitting, the bearing may be totally filled with grease when mounted,
as excessive grease will be pressed out from the bearing when the robot is started.
• During operation, the bearing should be filled to 70-80% of the available volume.
• Ensure that grease is handled and stored properly, to avoid contamination.
Grease the different types of bearings as detailed below:
• Grooved ball bearings must be filled with grease from both sides.
• Tapered roller bearings and axial needle bearings must be greased in the split
condition.
General
This sections details how to mount different types of seals to the robot.
Equipment
Rotating seals
The procedure below details how to fit rotating seals.
CAUTION!
Please observe the following before commencing any assembly of seals:
• Protect the sealing surfaces during transport and mounting.
• Keep the seal in its original wrappings or protect it well before actual mounting.
• The fitting of seals and gears must be carried out on clean workbenches.
• Use a protective sleeve for the sealing lip during mounting, when sliding over threads,
keyways, etc.
Action Note
1. Check the seal to ensure that:
• the seal is of the correct type (provided with cutting
edge).
• there is no damage to the sealing edge (feel with a
fingernail).
2. Inspect the sealing surface before mounting. If scratches or
damage are found, the seal must be replaced, as it may
result in future leakage.
3. Lubricate the seal with grease just before fitting. (Not too Art. no. is specified in

to the seal.)
Fill the space between the dust tongue and sealing lip to 2/
3 with grease. The rubber coated external diameter must
also be greased, unless otherwise specified.
4. Mount the seal correctly with a mounting tool.
Never hammer directly on the seal as this may result in
leakage.
Action
1. Check the flange surfaces. They must be even and free from pores.
It is easy to check flatness using a gauge on the fastened joint (without sealing
compound).
If the flange surfaces are defective, the parts may not be used because leakage could
occur.

5 Calibration information
5.1. Introduction
General
This chapter includes general information about different calibration methods and also details
procedures that do not require specific calibration equipment.
When the robot system must be recalibrated, it is done according to documentation enclosed
with the calibration tools.
When to calibrate
The system must be calibrated if any of the below occurs.
Overview
This section specifies the different types of calibration and the calibration methods that are
supplied from ABB.
Types of calibration
Type of calibra-

Standard The calibrated robot is positioned at home Calibration Pendulum
calibration position, that is the axes positions (angles) are (standard method)
set to 0º. or
Standard calibration data is found in the file Levelmeter calibration
calib.cfg, supplied with the robot at delivery. (alternative method)
The file identifies the correct resolver/motor
position corresponding to the robot home
position.
From deliveries together with RobotWare 5.0.5
and higher, the data will instead be found on
the SMB (serial measurement board) in the
robot, and not in a separate file.
Absolute Accuracy Based on standard calibration, and besides CalibWare
calibration positioning the robot at home position, the
(optional) Absolute Accuracy calibration also
compensates for:
• mechanical tolerances in the robot
structure
• deflection due to load.
Absolute Accuracy calibration focuses on
positioning accuracy in the Cartesian
coordinate system for the robot.
Absolute Accuracy data is found in the file
absacc.cfg, supplied with the robot at delivery.

Calibration methods
Each calibration method is detailed in a separate manual. Below is a brief description of the
methods available.
calculates new compensation parameters. This is further detailed in the application manual
Absolute Accuracy Calibware 2.0.
If a service operation is done to a robot with Absolute Accuracy, a new absolute accuracy
calibration is required in order to establish full performance. For most cases after motor and
transmission replacements that do not include taking apart the robot structure, standard
calibration is sufficient. Standard calibration also supports wrist exchange.
References
Article numbers for the calibration tools are listed in section Special tools on page 395.
The calibration equipment for Calibration Pendulum is delivered as a complete toolkit,
including Operating manual - Calibration Pendulum, which describes the method and the
different routines further.
Introduction
This section specifies the calibration scale positions and/or correct axis position for all robot
models.
Calibration scales/marks, IRB 6600, IRB 6650, IRB 6650S, IRB 7600
The illustration below shows the location of the calibration scales on specific plates and the
calibration marks directly in the casting at axes 2 and 3.
The figure shows IRB 6600, but the scales and their positions are the same for IRB 6650S
and IRB 7600.
Overview
When calibrating, the axis must consistently be run towards the calibration position in the
same direction, in order to avoid position errors caused by backlash in gears etc. Positive
directions are shown in the figure below.
This is normally handled by the robot calibration software.

General
This section details how to tighten the various types of screw joints on the robot.
The instructions and torque values are valid for screw joints comprised of metallic materials
and do not apply to soft or brittle materials.
UNBRAKO screws
UNBRAKO is a special type of screw recommended by ABB for certain screw joints. It
features special surface treatment (Gleitmo as described below), and is extremely resistant to
fatigue.
Whenever used, this is specified in the instructions, and in such cases, no other type of
replacement screw is allowed! Using other types of screws will void any warranty and may
potentially cause serious damage or injury!
Continued
Tightening torque
Before tightening any screw, note the following:
• Determine whether a standard tightening torque or special torque is to be applied.
The standard torques are specified in the tables below. Any special torques are
specified in the Repair, Maintenance or Installation procedure descriptions. Any
special torque specified overrides the standard torque!
• Use the correct tightening torque for each type of screw joint.
• Only use correctly calibrated torque keys.
• Always tighten the joint by hand, and never use pneumatical tools.
• Use the correct tightening technique, that is do not jerk. Tighten the screw in a slow,
flowing motion.
• Maximum allowed total deviation from the specified value is 10%!
The table below specifies the recommended standard tightening torque for oil-lubricated
screws with slotted or cross-recess head screws.
