Introduction Section 14 - REFERENCE CABLE LAYOUT S Section 14 contains electrical cables reference layouts that you can refer to for added clarification of component relationship. The layouts are actual copies of working drawings and have reference numbers that DO NOT refer to reference numbers in the disassembly and assembly guidelines.
Introduction WHAT YOU MUST KNOW TO USE THE ROBOT Normal maintenance and repair work usually requires just standard tools . Some repairs, however, do require specific tools. These repairs and the type of tool required, where needed, are described in more detail . The power supply must always be switched off whenever work is carried out.
Introduction ROBOT COMPONENTS The major components as referred throughout this manual are shown in the below illustration. Note that the left side of the robot is on your left side if you were standing behind and facing. In short, the robot’s left side is the same as your left side.

ABB has supplied the robot with numerous interfaces for external safety equi p- ment. It is highly suggested that any place a safety device can be connected, should be. ABB is not responsible for the lack of external safety devices or any concerns if the external safety devices are manually bypassed.
Safety GENERAL SAFETY The user of an ABB robotic system has the final responsibility for the safety of personnel working with the system. The safety procedures used should be a p- propriate to the level of danger and risk associated with the particular install a- tion.
Safety SAFETY FEATURES Selection of Operating Mod e The robot can be operated either manually or automatically. In Manual mode, the robot can only be operated using the teach pendant, not by any external equipment. Reduced Speed The speed can be limited to a maximum of 250 mm/s. A speed limitation applies not only to the Tool Center Point (TCP), but to all parts of the robot.
Safety SAFETY GUIDELINES When working with any robot system, observe the following safety guidelines: Keep the operator work area clean at all times. Know the location of all EMERGENCY STOP buttons and POWER ON/ OFF switches that may have to be used quickly . Make sure that each person directly responsible for the operation of the r o- bot system has a thorough knowledge of all safety procedures and pra c- tices.
Safety SAFETY DURING MAINTENANCE When performing maintenance on the robot system, all of the previous safety guidelines should be in effect as well as the following: Make sure that all persons within the work envelope are thoroughly fami l- iar with the performance characteristics of the robot and its potential ha z- ards.
Safety SAFETY DURING PROGRAMMING When programming the robot, all of the above safety guidelines should be in effect as well as the following: The robot system must be under the sole control of the programmer . Only the programmer is allowed in the restricted work envelope . Movement of equipment into the work envelope must be under the sole control of the programmer.
Safety SAFETY CONTROL CHAIN OF OPERATION The safety control order of operation is based on dual electrical safety circuits (Run Chains) which interact with the robot computer and enable the MOTORS ON mode. The electrical safety circuits consist of several switches connected in series so that ALL of them must be closed before the robot can be set to MOTORS ON mode.
Safety RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH LIVE PARTS Controller A danger of high voltage is associated with the following parts : The mains supply/mains switch The power unit The power supply unit for the computer system (220 V AC) . The rectifier unit (240 V AC and 340 V DC. Especially Capacitors!). The drive unit (340 V DC).

Robot Handling ROBOT LIFTING The best way to lift the manipulator is to use lifting straps and a traverse crane. Attach the straps to the lifting eyes on both sides of the frame (see Figure 1). The lifting straps dimensions must comply with the applicable standards for lif t- ing.

Robot Handling RELEASING AXES BRAKES MANUALLY All axes come equipped with holding brakes. If the position of the manipulator axes are to be changed without connecting the controller, an external voltage supply (24 V DC) must be connected to enable releasing of the brakes. The voltage supply should be connected to the contact at the base of the manip u- lator (see Figure 6).
Robot Handling RESTRICTING AXES MOVEMENT MECHANICALL Y When installing the manipulator, make sure that it can move freely within its e n- tire working space. If there is a risk that it may collide with other objects, its working space should be limited, both mechanically and using software. Insta l- lation of an optional extra stop for the main axes 1, 2 and 3 is described belo w Limiting the working space using software is described in the System Para m- eters in the User’s Guide.
Maintenance GENERAL MAINTENANCE The robot is designed to be able to work under very demanding conditions with a minimum of maintenance. Nevertheless, certain routine checks and preve n- tative maintenance must be carried out at specified periodic intervals. • The exterior of the robot should be cleaned as required. Use a vacuum cleaner or wipe it with a cloth.
Maintenance MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS General Instructions Check regularly: • for any oil leaks. If a major oil leak is discovered, call for service personnel . • for excessive play in gears. If play develops, call for service personnel . • that the cabling between the control cabinet and robot is not damaged . Cleaning: Clean the robot exterior with a cloth when necessary.

Robot Calibration Calibration Procedures Calibration Procedures Overview The IRB 6400 measurement system consists of one resolver for each axis connected to a SMB (serial measurement board). The resolvers provide an analog voltage corresponding to the resolvers rotated position. Then the SMB converts this analog voltage to a digital signal and sends the information serially to the robot computer board.
Robot Calibration "Rough" Resolver Calibration Procedure The only time that the resolvers should be calibrated using this method is when the resolver has been mechanically disassembled from the mechanical unit. (Such as if a motor is removed.) The term “rough” resolver calibration is used to indicate that this is not the most accurate way to calibrate the resolvers.

Robot Calibration Manually Entering Calibration Values Manually entering calibration values should be done when: a) Robot is installed. b) After system software is loaded. c) After replacement of the Main computer, Robot Computer, or Memory Boards. There are two ways to enter the calibration values into the control they are: 1.

(3HAA 0001-MZ). Also needed to accomplish this procedure will be digital leveling equipment. This equipment does not come with the robot. This equipment can be purchased through ABB. The only time that the resolvers should be calibrated using this method is when the resolver has been mechanically disassembled from the mechanical unit.
Calibrating Axis 1 3. Remove cover plate on the reference surface on gearbox 1. 4. Attach the synchronization fixture (ABB# 6896 0011-YM) to the flat surface and insert the corresponding measuring rod (6896 0011-YN) in one of the three holes in the base.
Robot Calibration Precision Resolver Calibration Procedure (Cont) Calibrate the sensors against each other using a reference plane surface in the same direction. The sensors must be calibrated every time they are used for a new direction. Figure 2 - Calibrating the Sensors Calibrating Axis 2-6 7.

Robot Calibration Counter Updating Procedure The Serial Measurement Board (SMB) keeps track of the current resolver revolution count. To keep track of these revolution counts even when power is turned off, the SMB has a rechargeable battery attached to it. When a new machine is shipped from the factory this battery may not be charged.
