3HAC026320-001 Revision: A
1.2: General safety information
1.2.1 Safety in the robot system
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 are 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. Operating manual - IRC5 with
FlexPendant (M2004) 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.
Limitation of liability

1.4.3 Emergency release of the robot’s arm
Description
In an emergency situation, any of the robot's axes may be released manually by pushing the
brake release buttons on the robot.
How to release the brakes is detailed in section:
•
Emergency release of the robot’s arm on page 22.
The robot 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, further increasing any injury!
1.4.4 Brake testing
3HAC026320-001 Revision: A
23
1.4.4 Brake testing
When to test
During operation the holding brake 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 the holding brake of each axis motor 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.

1.4.6 Safe use of the FlexPendant
3HAC026320-001 Revision: A
25
1.4.6 Safe use of the FlexPendant
NOTE!
The enabling device is a push button located on the side of the FlexPendant 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 FlexPendant, 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 FlexPendant with him/her, when entering the
robot's working space. This is to prevent anyone else taking control of the robot
without the programmer knowing.
1.4.7 Work inside the manipulator's working range
26
3HAC026320-001 Revision: A
1.4.7 Work inside the manipulator's working range

2.1.1 Lifting the Manipulator
The best way to lift the manipulator is to use lifting straps and a traverse crane. Attach the
straps to the special eye bolts on the gear boxes for axes 2 and 3 (see figure below). The lifting
strap dimensions must comply with the applicable standards for lifting.
Never walk under a suspended load.

The manipulator must be mounted on a level surface with the same hole layout as shown in
Figure 3. The levelness requirement of the surface is as follows:
.
Figure 3: Bolting down the Manipulator.
The manipulator is bolted down by means of three M16 bolts.
Two guide sleeves, ABB art. no. 2151 0024-169, can be fitted to the two rear bolt holes, to
allow the same robot to be re-mounted without having to re-adjust the program.
When bolting a mounting plate or frame to a concrete floor, follow the general instructions
for expansion-shell bolts. The screw joint must be able to withstand the stress loads defined
in this chapter, Section 2.1.4 Stress Forces.

3HAC026320-001 Revision: A
2.1.6 Manually engaging the brakes
All axes are equipped with holding brakes. If the positions of the manipulator axes are to be
changed without connecting the controller, an external voltage supply (24 V d.c.) must be
connected to enable engagement of the brakes. The voltage supply should be connected to the
contact at the base of the manipulator (see figure below).
Note! Be careful not to interchange the 24V and 0V pins! If they are mixed up,
damage can be caused to electrical components.
Figure 6: Connection of External Voltage to enable Engagement of the Brakes.
External power must be connected according to Figure 6. Incorrectly con-
nected power can release all brakes, causing simultaneously movement of all
axes.
When the controller or the voltage supply is connected as illustrated above, the brakes can be
engaged using the push-button on the manipulator, see Figure 7.
WARNING: Be very careful when engaging the brakes. The axes become acti-
vated very quickly and may cause damage or injury.

2.1.7 Restricting the Working Space
3HAC026320-001 Revision: A
45
2.1.7 Restricting the Working Space
When installing the manipulator, make sure that it can move freely within its entire working
range. If there is a risk that it may collide with other objects, its working range should be lim-
ited, both mechanically and using parameters. Installation of an optional extra stop for the
main axes 1, 2 and 3 is described below.
Limiting the working range using parameters is described in the section: Configuring systems
in the Operating manual - IRC5 with FlexPendant.
Axis 1
The range of rotation for axis 1 can be limited mechanically by fitting extra stop lugs to the
base, see Figure 8.
Instructions for necessary machining and mounting are supplied with the kit.
NB! The original stop lug must never be removed.
Figure 8: Mechanically limiting Axis 1.
Axis 2
The working range of axis 2 can be limited mechanically by fitting extra stop lugs to the under
arm (see Figure 9). The lugs limit the arm movements in intervals of 20°. (20° = 1 lug, 40° =
2 lugs, etc.)
Instructions for doing this are supplied with the kit.

3.0.1 Introduction
The robot is designed to be able to work under very demanding circumstances with a mini-
mum of maintenance. Nevertheless, certain routine checks and preventative maintenance
must be carried out at given periodical intervals, see the table below.
•
The exterior of the robot should be cleaned as required. Use a vacuum cleaner or
wipe it with a cloth. Compressed air and harsh solvents that can damage the
sealing joints, bearings, lacquer or cabling must not be used.
•
Check that the sealing joint and cable bushings are really airtight so that dust and
dirt are not sucked into the cabinet.

3HAC026320-001 Revision: A
3.1.4 Changing the battery in the measuring system
The battery to be replaced is located inside the base under the flange cover (see Figure 18).
The robot is delivered with a rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery with article
number 4944 026-4.
The battery must never be just thrown away; it must always be handled as hazardous waste.
•
Set the robot to the MOTORS OFF operating mode. (This means that it will not
have to be coarse-calibrated after changing the battery.)
•
Remove the flange cover. All connections on the flange cover, except for the sig-
nal
contact for the serial link, R1.SMB, can be disconnected.
•
Remove one of the screws and loosen the two other screws holding the serial
measurement board. Push the unit to the side and remove it backwards. All
cables and contacts must remain intact. Note the ESD-protection (ESD = Electro-
static Discharge).
•
Loosen the battery terminals from the serial measuring board and cut the clasps
that keep the battery unit in place.
•
Install a new battery with two clasps and connect the terminals to the serial mea-
suring board.
•
Refit the serial measurement board, flange cover and connections.
•
The Ni-Cd battery takes 36 hours to recharge; the mains supply must be switched
on during this time.
Figure 18: The Battery is located Inside the Base under the Flange Cover.
Alternative Battery
As an alternative to the Ni-Cd battery a lithium battery of primary type can be installed. The
lithium battery needs no charging and has for that reason a blocking diode which prevents
charging from the serial measurement board.
The benefit with a lithium 10.8 V battery is the lifetime, which can be up to 5 years in service,
compare with the Ni-Cd battery’s maximum life time of 3 years in service.
Two lithium batteries exists:
•
A 3-cell battery, art.No. 3HAB 9999-1
•
A 6-cell battery, art.No. 3HAB 9999-2
The life time of the lithium battery depends on how frequently the user switches off the
power. The estimated max. life time in years for the different lithium batteries and the recom-
mended exchange interval is shown below:

4.1: General information
4.1.1 General description
The industrial robot system comprises two separate units: the control cabinet and the manip-
ulator. Servicing the manipulator is described in this manual.
When servicing the manipulator, it is helpful to service the following parts separately:
•
The Electrical System
•
The Motor Units
•
The Mechanical System
Electrical system
The Electrical System is routed through the entire manipulator and is made up of two main
cabling systems; the power cabling and signal cabling. The power cabling feeds the motor
units of the manipulator axes. The signal cabling feeds the various control parameters, such
as axis positions, motor revs, etc.
The AC Motor Units provide the motive power for the various manipulator axes by means of
gears. Mechanical brakes, electrically released, lock the motor units when the robot is inop-
erative for more than 3 minutes during both automatic and manual operation.
Mechanincal system
The manipulator has 6 axes which makes its movements very flexible.
Axis 1 rotates the manipulator. Axis 2 provides the lower arm’s reciprocating motion. The
lower arm, together with the parallel arm and the parallel bracket, forms a parallelogram rel-
ative to the upper arm. The parallel bracket is mounted on bearings in the parallel arm and in
the upper arm.
Axis 3 raises the upper arm of the manipulator. Axis 4, located on the side of the upper arm,
rotates the upper arm. The wrist is bolted to the tip of the upper arm and includes axes 5 and
6. These axes form a cross and their motors are located at the rear of the upper arm.
Axis 5 is used to tilt and axis 6 to turn. A connection is supplied for various customer tools
on the tip of the wrist in the turn disc. The tool (or manipulator) can be pneumatically con-
trolled by means of an external air supply (optional extra). The signals to/from the tool can
be supplied via internal customer connections (optional extras).
WARNING!
Note that the control cabinet must be switched off during all maintenance work on the
manipulator. The accumulator power supply must always be disconnected before
performing any work on the manipulator measurement system (measurement
boards, cabling, resolver unit).
When any type of maintenance work is carried out, the calibration position of the
manipulator must be checked before the robot is returned to the operational mode.
4.1.1 General description
64
3HAC026320-001 Revision: A
WARNING!
Take special care when manually operating the brakes. Make sure also that the
safety instructions described in this manual are followed when starting to operate the
robot.
4.1.2 Instructions for reading the following sections
3HAC026320-001 Revision: A
65
4.1.2 Instructions for reading the following sections
The subsequent sections describe the type of on-site maintenance that can be performed by
the customer’s own maintenance staff. Some maintenance jobs require special experience or
specific tools and are therefore not described in this manual. These jobs involve replacing the
faulty module or component on-site. The faulty component is then transported to ABB for
service.
Calibration
The robot must be re-calibrated when a mechanical unit or part of one is replaced, when the
motor and feedback unit is disconnected, when a resolver error occurs, or when the power
supply between a measurement board and resolver is interrupted. This procedure is described
in detail in Calibration methods on page 115.
WARNING!
Any work on the robot signal cabling may cause the robot to move to the wrong
positions.
After performing such work, the calibration position of the robot must be checked as
described in Calibration methods on page 115.
Tools
Two types of tools are required for the various maintenance jobs. It may be necessary to use
conventional tools, such as sockets and ratchet spanners, etc., or special tools, depending on
the type of servicing. Conventional tools are not discussed in this manual, since it is assumed
that maintenance staff have sufficient basic technical competence. Maintenance jobs which
require the use of special tools are, on the other hand, described in this manual.
Foldouts
The chapter on spare parts comes with a number of foldouts which illustrate the parts of the
robot. These foldouts are provided in order to make it easier for you to quickly identify both
the type of service required and the make-up of the various parts and components. The item
numbers of the parts are also shown on the foldouts.
In the subsequent sections, these numbers are referred to in angle brackets < >. If a reference
is made to a foldout, other than that specified in the paragraph title, the foldout’s number is
included in the numeric reference to its item number; for example:
<5/19> or <10:2/5>. The digit(s) before the stroke refer to the foldout number.
The foldouts also include other information such as the article number, designation and
related data.
NOTE!
This manual is not considered as a substitute for a proper training course. The infor-
mation in the following chapters should be used only after an appropriate course has
been completed.
3HAC026320-001 Revision: A
4.1.3 Caution
The mechanical unit contains several parts which are too heavy to lift manually. As
these parts must be moved with precision during any maintenance and repair work,
it is important to have a suitable lifting device available.
The robot should always be switched to MOTORS OFF before anybody is allowed to
enter its working space.
4.1.4 Fitting new Bearings and Seals
3HAC026320-001 Revision: A
67
4.1.4 Fitting new Bearings and Seals
Bearings
Tapered Bearings
Greasing Bearings
Action
1.
Do not unwrap new bearings until just before assembly, in order to prevent dust and
grit getting into the bearing
2.
Make sure that all parts of the bearing are free from burr dust, grinding dust and any
other contamination. Cast parts must be free from foundry sand
3.
Bearing rings, races and roller parts must not under any circumstances be subjected
to direct impact. The roller parts must not be subjected to any pressure that is created
during the assembly
Action
1.
The bearing should be tightened gradually until the recommended pre-tensioning is
attained.
2.
The roller parts must be rotated a specified number of turns both before
pre-tensioning and during pre-tensioning.
3.
The above procedure must be carried out to enable the roller parts to slot into the
correct position with respect to the racer flange.
4.
It is important to position the bearings correctly, because this directly affects the ser-
vice life of the bearing.
Action
1.
Bearings must be greased after they are fitted. Extreme cleanliness is necessary
throughout. High quality lubricating grease, such as Shell Alvania WR2 (ABB’s art.
No. 3537-1), should be used.
2.
Grooved ball bearings should be greased on both sides.
3.
Tapered roller bearings and axial needle bearings should be greased when they
are split.
4.
Normally the bearings should not be completely filled with grease. However, if
there is space on both sides of the bearing, it can be filled completely with grease
when it is fitted, as surplus grease will be released from the bearing on start up.
5.
70-80% of the available volume of the bearing must be filled with grease during
operation.

Seals
The most common cause of leakage is incorrect mounting.
Rotating Seals
Flange Seals and Static Seals
Action
1.
The seal surfaces must be protected during transportation and assembly
2.
The seals must either be kept in their original packages or be protected well.
3.
The seal surfaces must be inspected before mounting. If the seal is scratched
or damaged in such a way that it may cause leakage in the future, it must be
replaced.
4.
The seal must also be checked before it is fitted to ensure that:
1. The seal edge is not damaged (feel the edge with your finger nail),
2. The correct type of seal is used (has a cut-off edge),
3. There is no other damage.
5.
Seals and gears must be fitted on clean workbenches.
6.
Grease the seal just before it is fitted – not too early as otherwise dirt and
foreign particles may stick to the seal. The space between the dust tongue
and sealing lip should 2/3-filled with grease of type Shell Alvania WR2 (ABB’s
art. No. 3537-1).
1. The rubber coated external diameter must also be greased.
7.
Fit the seal correctly. If it is fitted incorrectly, it may start to leak when pumping
starts.
8.
Always use an assembling tool to fit the seal. Never hammer directly on the
seal because this will cause it to leak.
9.
Use a protective sleeve on the sealing edge during assembly, when sliding
over threads, key-ways, etc.
Action
1.
Check the flange surfaces. The surface must be even and have no pores. The even-
ness can be easily checked using a gauge on the fitted joint (without sealing com-
pound).
2.
The surfaces must be even and free from burr dust (caused by incorrect machining).
If the flange surfaces are defective, they must not be used as they will cause leakage.
3.
The surfaces must be cleaned properly in the manner recommended by ABB.
4.
Distribute the sealing compound evenly over the surface, preferably using a brush.
5.
Tighten the screws evenly around the flange joint.
6.
Make sure that the joint is not subjected to loading until the sealing compound has
attained the hardness specified in the materials specification.

O-rings
Action
1.
Check the O-ring grooves. The grooves must be geometrically correct, without pores
and free of dust and grime.
2.
Check the O-ring for surface defects and burrs, and check that it has the correct
shape, etc.
3.
Make sure the correct O-ring size is used.
4.
Tighten the screws evenly.
5.
Defective O-rings and O-ring grooves must not be used.
6.
If any of the parts fitted are defective, they will cause leakage. Grease the O-ring with
Shell Alvania WR2 (ABB’s art. No. 3537-1) before fitting it.
4.1.5 Instructions for tightening Screw Joints
3HAC026320-001 Revision: A
71
4.1.5 Instructions for tightening Screw Joints
General
It is extremely important that all screw joints are tightened using the correct torque.
Application
The following tightening torques must be used, unless otherwise specified in the text, for all
screw joints made of metallic materials.
The instructions do not apply to screw joints made of soft or brittle materials.
For screws with a property class higher than 8.8, the same specifications as for class 8.8. are
applicable, unless otherwise stated.
Screws treated with Gleitmo
All screws in the manipulator that are tightened to a specified torque are treated with Gleitmo.
WARNING!
When handling screws treated with Gleitmo, protective gloves of nitrile rubber type
should be used.
Screws treated with Gleitmo can be unscrewed and screwed in again 3-4 times before the slip
coating disappears. Screws can also be treated with Molycote 1000.
When screwing in new screws without Gleitmo, these should first be lubricated with Moly-
cote 1000 and then tightened to the specified torque.
Assembly
Screw threads sized M8 or larger should preferably be lubricated with oil. Molycote 1000
should only be used when specified in the text.
Screws sized M8 or larger should be tightened with a torque wrench, if possible.
Screws sized M6 or smaller may be tightened to the correct torque by personnel with suffi-
cient mechanical training, without using torque measurement tools.

4.1.7 Checking for play in gearboxes and wrist
3HAC026320-001 Revision: A
73
4.1.7 Checking for play in gearboxes and wrist
When checking for play in gearboxes the brakes must be disengaged.
When trying to move an arm manually when the brakes are engaged, some play can be felt.
The play that can be felt is between the brake disk and the motor shaft, not in the gearbox
itself. This is because the rotating brake disk is connected to the motor shaft by splines. This
is why the brakes must be disengaged before testing for play in the gearboxes and wrist. The
brakes are disengaged by pressing the enable button on the teach pendant.
Note!
The play in the brake disk does not affect the robot motion or accuracy.
