3HAC023297-001 Revision: A
30
1.2.4.4. 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.

General
When installing the manipulator, 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.
WARNING!
The working space can only be limited using soft ware, for this reason the limited area can
not be classified as a safe zone. All work within this zone is prohibited.
Limiting devices
Limiting devices is listed below.
1. Light curtains.

2.3.6. Loads
General
Any loads mounted on the manipulator must be defined correctly and carefully (with regard
to the position of centre of gravity and inertia factor) in order to avoid jolting movements and
overloading the motors. If this is not done correctly operation stops may result.
References
Load diagrams, permitted extra loads (equipment) and their positions as specified in the
Product Specification. The loads must also be defined in the software as detailed in User's
Guide.
Brake performance
Manipulator motor brake performance depends on any loads attached. For further
information about brake performance, please contact ABB.

3HAC023297-001 Revision: A
2.3.7. Suspended mounting
General
Initially the system is configured for mounting on the floor, without leaning. The method for
mounting the manipulator in a suspended position is basically the same as for floor mounting.
NOTE!
With inverted installation, make sure that the gantry or corresponding structure is rigid
enough to prevent unacceptable vibrations and deflections, so that optimum performance can
be achieved.
System Parameters
If the robot is mounted at any other angle, the system parameter “gravity beta” must be
updated. Gravity beta specifies the robot’s mounting angle expressed in radians.
NOTE!
It is very important to configure gravity beta correctly so that the robot system can control the
movements in the best possible way. Incorrect definition of mounting angle (gravity beta) will
result in:
•
Overloading the mechanical structure.
•
Lower path performance and path accuracy.
•
Some S4 functions will not work properly: e.g Load Identification & Collision
detection.
Mounting Angles and Values
The parameter “gravity beta” specifies the robot’s mounting angle in radians. It is calculated
in the following way for a mounting angle of 45°.
Gravity beta = 45° x 3.141593/180 = 0.785398 radians.

3HAC023297-001 Revision: A
74
WARNING!
Please observe the following before commencing any repair work on the manipulator:
•
Motors and gears are HOT after running the robot! Touching the motors and gears may
result in burns!
•
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. secure the lower arm with fixtures if removing motor, axis 2.
TIP!
When changing gearbox oil, first run the robot for a time to heat up the oil. Warm oil drains
quicker than cold oil.
WARNING!
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!
WARNING!
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
WARNING!
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 activity.
Also, be aware of possible pressure build up in gearbox! When opening the oil plug, there
may be pressure present in the gearbox, causing oil to spray from the opening!
Draining, axes 5 and 6
The procedure below details how to drain the oil from gearboxes, axes 5 and 6.
Step
Action
Note
1.
Move the robot to a position where the upper arm is
close to horizontal and axis 4 in the calibration
position.
2.
Remove the oil plugs.
The cavity behind the plugs, containing the oil, is
common to gearboxes 5 and 6, but during draining,
both must be removed.
Shown in the figure Location
of oil plugs on page 73!
3.
Move axis 4 90° to a position where the axis 6 oil plug
faces downwards.
4.
Drain the oil from the gearbox.
