Section 1.1: General information


1.1.1 Safety, service - General

Validity and
responsibility

The information does not cover how to design, install and operate a complete system, nor
does it cover all peripheral equipment, which can influence the safety of the total system. To
protect personnel, the complete system must be designed and installed in accordance with the
safety requirements set forth in the standards and regulations of the country where the robot
is installed.
The users of ABB industrial robots are responsible for ensuring that the applicable safety laws
and regulations in the country concerned are observed and that the safety devices necessary
to protect people working with the robot system have been designed and installed correctly.
Personnel working with robots must be familiar with the operation and handling of the industrial robot, described in the applicable documents, e.g. Users Guide and Product Manual.

Connection of
external safety
devices

Apart from the built-in safety functions, the robot is also supplied with an interface for the
connection of external safety devices. Via this interface, an external safety function can interact with other machines and peripheral equipment. This means that control signals can act on
safety signals received from the peripheral equipment as well as from the robot.
In the Product Manual - Installation and Commissioning, instructions are provided for connecting safety devices between the robot and the peripheral equipment.

1.1.2 Limitation of Liability

General

Any information given in this information product regarding safety, must not be construed as
a warranty by ABB Robotics that the industrial robot will not cause injury or damage even if
all safety instructions have been complied with.

1.2.1 Safety risks related to gripper

Section 1.2: Safety risks


1.2.1 Safety risks related to gripper
Ensure that a gripper is prevented from dropping a workpiece, if such is used.

1.2.2 Safety risks related to tools/workpieces

Safe handling

It must be possible to turn off tools, such as milling cutters, etc., safely. Make sure that guards
remain closed until the cutters stop rotating.
It should be possible to release parts by manual operation (valves).

Safe design

Grippers/end effectors must be designed so that they retain workpieces in the event of a power
failure or a disturbance of the controller.

1.2.3 Safety risks related to pneumatic/hydraulic systems

General

Residual energy

Safe design

Special safety regulations apply to pneumatic and hydraulic systems.

Residual energy may be present in these systems so, after shutdown, particular care
must be taken.

The pressure in pneumatic and hydraulic systems must be released before starting to
repair them.

Gravity may cause any parts or objects held by these systems to drop.

Dump valves should be used in case of emergency.

Shot bolts should be used to prevent tools, etc., from falling due to gravity.

1.2.4 Safety risks during operational disturbances

General

Qualified personnel

Extraordinary
risks

3HAC 16246-1

The industrial robot is a flexible tool which can be used in many different industrial
applications.

All work must be carried out professionally and in accordance with the applicable
safety regulations.

Care must be taken at all times.

Remedial action must only be carried out by qualified personnel who are familiar with
the entire installation as well as the special risks associated with its different parts.

If the working process is interrupted, extra care must be taken due to risks other than those
associated with regular operation. Such an interruption may have to be rectified manually.

To be observed
by the supplier of
the complete system

The instructions in the Product Manual - Installation and Commissioning must always
be followed.

Emergency stop buttons must be positioned in easily accessible places so that the
robot can be stopped quickly.

Those in charge of operations must make sure that safety instructions are available
for the installation in question.

Those who install the robot must have the appropriate training for the robot system in
question and in any safety matters associated with it.

To prevent injuries and damage during the installation of the robot system, the regulations
applicable in the country concerned and the instructions of ABB Robotics must be complied
with.

Safety zones, which have to be crossed before admittance, must be set up in front of
the robot's working space. Light beams or sensitive mats are suitable devices.

Turntables or the like should be used to keep the operator out of the robot's working
space.

The axes are affected by the force of gravity when the brakes are released. In addition
to the risk of being hit by moving robot parts, you run the risk of being crushed by the
tie rod.

Energy, stored in the robot for the purpose of counterbalancing certain axes, may be
released if the robot, or parts thereof, is dismantled.

When dismantling/assembling mechanical units, watch out for falling objects.

Be aware of stored heat energy in the controller.

Never use the robot as a ladder, i.e. do not climb on the robot motors or other parts
during service work. There is a serious risk of slipping because of the high temperature of the motors or oil spills that can occur on the robot.

The supplier of the complete system must ensure that all circuits used in the safety
function are interlocked in accordance with the applicable standards for that function.

The supplier of the complete system must ensure that all circuits used in the emergency stop function are interlocked in a safe manner, in accordance with the applicable standards for the emergency stop function.

Although troubleshooting may, on occasion, have to be carried out while the power
supply is turned on, the robot must be turned off (by setting the mains switch to OFF)
when repairing faults, disconnecting electric leads and disconnecting or connecting
units.

The mains supply to the robot must be connected in such a way that it can be turned
off outside the robots working space.

A danger of high voltage is associated with the following parts:

Be aware of stored electrical energy (DC link) in the controller.

1.3.1 Safety fence dimensions

Section 1.3: Safety actions


1.3.1 Safety fence dimensions

General

Fit a safety fence or enclosure around the robot to ensure a safe robot installation.

Dimensioning

Dimension the fence or enclosure to enable it to withstand the force created if the load being
handled by the robot is dropped or released at maximum speed. Determine the maximum
speed from the maximum velocities of the robot axes and from the position at which the robot
is working in the work cell (see Product Specification - Description, Robot Motion).
Also consider the maximum possible impact caused by a breaking or malfunctioning rotating
tool or other device fitted to the manipulator.

1.3.2 Fire extinguishing


Use a CARBON DIOXIDE (CO 2 ) extinguisher in the event of a fire in the robot (manipulator
or controller)!

1.3.3 Emergency release of the manipulators arm

Description

In an emergency situation, any of the manipulators axes may be released manually by pushing the brake release buttons on the manipulator or on an optional external brake release unit.
How to release the brakes is detailed in section "Manually releasing the brakes".
The manipulator arm may be moved manually on smaller robot models, but larger models
may require using an overhead crane or similar.

Increased injury

Before releasing the brakes, make sure that the weight of the arms does not increase the
pressure on the trapped person, which may further increase any injury!

1.3.4 Brake testing

When to test

During operation the holding brakes of each axis motor wear normally. A test may be performed to determine whether the brake can still perform its function.

How to test

The function of each axis motor holding brakes may be checked as detailed below:
1. Run each manipulator axis to a position where the combined weight of the manipulator arm and any load is maximized (max. static load).
2. Switch the motor to the MOTORS OFF position with the Operating mode selector
on the controller.
3. Check that the axis maintains its position.
If the manipulator does not change position as the motors are switched off, then the brake
function is adequate.

1.3.5 Risk of disabling function "Reduced speed 250 mm/s"

1.3.5 Risk of disabling function "Reduced speed 250 mm/s"


Do not change "Transm gear ratio" or other kinematic parameters from the Teach Pendant Unit
or a PC. This will affect the safety function Reduced speed 250 mm/s.

1.3.6 Safe use of the Teach Pendant Unit


The enabling device is a push button located on the side of the Teach Pendant Unit (TPU)
which, when pressed halfway in, takes the system to MOTORS ON. When the enabling device
is released or pushed all the way in, the robot is taken to the MOTORS OFF state.
To ensure safe use of the Teach Pendant Unit, the following must be implemented:
The enabling device must never be rendered inoperative in any way.
During programming and testing, the enabling device must be released as soon as there is no
need for the robot to move.
The programmer must always bring the Teach Pendant Unit with him/her, when entering the
robots working space. This is to prevent anyone else taking control over the robot without the
programmer knowing.

1.3.7 Work inside the manipulators working range


If work must be carried out within the robots work envelope, the following points must be
observed:
- The operating mode selector on the controller must be in the manual mode position to render
the enabling device operative and to block operation from a computer link or remote control
panel.
- The robots speed is limited to max. 250 mm/s when the operating mode selector is in position
< 250 mm/s. This should be the normal position when entering the working space. The position
100% full speedmay only be used by trained personnel who are aware of the risks that this
entails.
- Pay attention to the rotating axes of the manipulator! Keep a distance to the axes in order not
to get entangled with hair or clothing. Also be aware of any danger that may be caused by
rotating tools or other devices mounted on the manipulator or inside the cell.
- Test the motor brake on each axis, according to section Brake testing on page 10.

2.1.2 Screw joints

General

This section details how to tighten the various types of screw joints on the manipulator as well
as the controller.
The instructions and torque values are valid for screw joints comprising metallic materials
and do not apply to soft or brittle materials.
Any instructions given in the repair, maintenance or installation procedure description override any value or procedure given here, i.e. these instruction are only valid for standard type
screw joints.

UNBRAKO
screws

UNBRAKO is a special type of screw recommended by ABB in 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 screw will void any warranty and may potentially
cause serious damage or injury!

Gleitmo treated
screws

Gleitmo is a special surface treatment to reduce the friction when tightening the screw joint.
Screws treated with Gleitmo may be reused 3-4 times before the coating disappears. After this
the screw must be discarded and replaced with a new one.
When handling screws treated with Gleitmo, protective gloves of nitrile rubber type should
be used.

Screws lubricated
in other ways

Screws lubricated with Molycote 1000 (or another lubricant) should only be used when specified in the repair, maintenance or installation procedure descriptions.
In such cases, proceed as follows:
1. Lubricate the thread of the screw.
2. Lubricate between the plain washer and screw head.
3. Tighten to the torque specified in section "Tightening torque" below. Screw dimensions
of M8 or larger must be tightened with a torque wrench. Screw dimensions of M6 or
smaller may be tightened without a torque wrench if this is done by trained and qualified personnel.

The expected life can also be affected by assemblage of cabling other than standard options.

The given life is based on a test cycle that for every axis starts from the calibration position
to minimum angle to maximum angle and back to the calibration position. Deviations from
this cycle will result in differences in expected life!
2)

The given life for the balancing device is based on a test cycle that starts from the initial
position and goes to maximum extension, and back. Deviations from this cycle will result in
differences in expected life!

3)

The robot is dimensioned for a 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. The SIS is described in "SIS, Service Information System".

Inspection, oil
level gearbox

The procedure below details how to inspect the oil level in gearbox axis 1.

Please observe the following before commencing any repair work on the manipulator:
- Motors and gears are HOT after running the robot! Burns may result from touching the
motors or gears!
- Turn off all electric power, hydraulic and pneumatic pressure supplies to the robot!
- Take any necessary measures to ensure that the manipulator does not collapse as parts are
removed, e.g. to secure the lower arm with fixtures if removing motor, axis 2.
When filling gearbox oil, do not mix different types of oil unless specified in the instruction.
Always use the type of oil specified by the manufacturer!

When filling gearbox oil, do not overfill, since this could lead to internal over-pressure inside
the gearbox which in turn may:
- damage seals and gaskets
- completely press out seals and gaskets
- prevent the manipulator from moving freely
Changing and draining gearbox oil may require handling hot oil of up to 90 C! Make sure that
protective gear like goggles and gloves are always worn during this work.
Also be aware of possible over-pressure in gearbox! When opening the oil plug, there may be
pressure resident in the gearbox, causing oil spray from the opening!

5.1.5 Inspection, oil level, gearbox axis 5

When filling gearbox oil, do not mix different types of oil unless specified in the instruction.
Always use the type of oil specified by the manufacturer!

When filling gearbox oil, do not overfill, since this could lead to internal over-pressure inside
the gearbox which in turn may:
- damage seals and gaskets
- completely press out seals and gaskets
- prevent the manipulator from moving freely
Changing and draining gearbox oil may require handling hot oil of up to 90 C! Make sure that
protective gear like goggles and gloves are always worn during this work.
Also be aware of possible over-pressure in gearbox! When opening the oil plug, there may be
pressure resident in the gearbox, causing oil spray from the opening!

5.2.1 Oil change, gearbox axis 1

Changing, oil

The procedure below details how to change the oil in gearbox axis 1.
Please observe the following before commencing any repair work on the manipulator:
- Motors and gears are HOT after running the robot! Burns may result from touching the
motors or gears!
- Turn off all electric power, hydraulic and pneumatic pressure supplies to the robot!
- Take any necessary measures to ensure that the manipulator does not collapse as parts are
removed, e.g. to secure the lower arm with fixtures if removing motor, axis 2.
When changing gearbox oil, first run the robot for a time to heat up the oil. Warm oil drains
quicker than cold oil.

When filling gearbox oil, do not mix different types of oil unless specified in the instruction.
Always use the type of oil specified by the manufacturer!

When filling gearbox oil, do not overfill, since this could lead to internal over-pressure inside
the gearbox which in turn may:
- damage seals and gaskets
- completely press out seals and gaskets
- prevent the manipulator from moving freely
Changing and draining gearbox oil may require handling hot oil of up to 90 C! Make sure that
protective gear like goggles and gloves are always worn during this work.
Also be aware of possible over-pressure in gearbox! When opening the oil plug, there may be
pressure resident in the gearbox, causing oil spray from the opening!

Different designs

Between the axis 2 motor and gearbox there is a motor attachment which exists in two different designs.

The early design of the motor attachment is attached directly to the gearbox, with the
front gearbox attachment screws (only some versions of IRB 6600).

The later design of the motor attachment is attached directly to the frame. This design
also includes an additional cover that overlaps the motor attachment and holds the oil
plugs.

The correct amount oil varies, depending on the design of the motor attachment.
