The information in this manual is subject to change without notice and should not be construed as a commitment by ABB. ABB assumes no responsibility for any errors that may appear in this manual. Except as may be expressly stated anywhere in this manual, nothing herein shall be construed as any kind of guarantee or warranty by ABB for losses, damages to persons or property, fitness for a specific purpose or the like.
Prerequisites Maintenance/repair/installation personnel working with an ABB Robot must: • be trained by ABB and have the required knowledge of mechanical and electrical installation/repair/maintenance work. Product manual scope The manual covers covers all variants and designs of the IRB 360. Some variants and designs may have been removed from the business offer and are no longer available for purchase.
Product documentation Categories for user documentation from ABB Robotics The user documentation from ABB Robotics is divided into a number of categories. This listing is based on the type of information in the documents, regardless of whether the products are standard or optional.
Limitation of liability Any information given in this manual regarding safety must not be construed as a warranty by ABB that the industrial robot will not cause injury or damage even if all safety instructions are complied with. The information does not cover how to design, install and operate a complete system, nor does it cover all peripheral equipment that can influence the safety of the entire system.

Lifting the robot with roundslings on page 60 Note If use of ABB’s vacuum system is inten- ded, make sure there is a space left for the bracket (F). Fit and tighten the bolts and washers The screw joint must be able to withstand the in the base attachment holes.
Before starting any inspection, maintenance, or changing activities of lubrication, always contact the local ABB Service organization for more information. For ABB personnel: Always check ABB Library for the latest revision of the manual Technical reference manual - Lubrication in gearboxes, in order to always get the latest information of updates about lubrication in gearboxes.
Each procedure contains all the information required to perform the activity, for example spare parts numbers, required special tools, and materials. WARNING Repair activities not described in this chapter must only be carried out by ABB. Otherwise damage to the mechanics and electronics may occur. Required equipment The details of the equipment required to perform a specific repair activity are listed in the respective procedures.

If the flange surfaces are defective, the parts may not be used because leakage could occur. Clean the surfaces properly in accordance with the recommendations of ABB. Distribute the sealing compound evenly over the surface, preferably with a brush. Tighten the screws evenly when fastening the flange joint.
The resolver values are changed If resolver values are changed, the robot must be recalibrated using the calibration methods supplied by ABB. Calibrate the robot carefully with standard calibration, according to information in this manual. The resolver values will change when parts affecting the calibration position are replaced on the robot, for example motors or parts of the transmission.
ABB. Please contact ABB. The parameter Calibration Position (cal_posi- tion) is set at the ABB factory, and is a robot specific parameter. For more information about parameter Calibration Position, see topic Mo- tion, type Arm in Technical reference manu- al - System parameters.

Ring calibration A factory reset using ring calibration requires specific calibration equipment and is performed by ABB. Please contact ABB. Ring calibration is measuring each contact point for axis 1-3 and modifies cal_position. The Ring calibration method gives a better nominal kinematics and the modified cal_positions will help to get back to the same points when calibrating with Standard calibration.
This section is valid for IRB 360 all models. It describes how to perform the actual fine calibration of axis 1-3. If the robot needs to have a factory reset instead, please contact ABB. See Calibration method on page 238.
