3.4.9 Assembly of the manipulator Overview When the IRT 710 is carrying an IRB robot it behaves like an integrated 7th axis. The robot should be ordered with an additional drive unit (907-1) for the IRT 710 motor, and optionally a resolver connection for 7th axis on the robot base (864-1).
Description The IRT 710 has an internal cable chain which carries flexible movement cables. The IRT 710 motor can be controlled through an external SMB box, or through the integrated SMB card of a manipulator. Static cables connect to the IRC5 controller.
Page 144
Spare parts on page 377. Robot cables If the IRT 710 is ordered prepared for a manipulator, the cable chain should contain the suitable flexible movement cables for the robot. Robot floor cables should be ordered with the robot. It is important to indicate the robot mounting orientation in the order form in order to get the correct robot cable length.
3.5.2 Specifications of the movement cables Movement cables diameter and weight The internal cable chain usually contains the IRT 710 motor power and resolver cables. When additional cables are used, it is important to ensure that they can all fit in. In particular, if a number n of cables are used, you must make sure that: •...
3.5.3 Installation of the cable chain WARNING The IRT 710 cable chain is delivered assembled in the IRT 710. If the cable chain and/or its content must be modified upon installation, make sure that the following recommendations are strictly followed. Improper installation of the cable chain will result in premature wear or damages of the chain and the flexible cables.
Page 148
Note/Illustration The cable chain should be perfectly aligned with the IRT 710 chain tray. In order to achieve a cor- rect alignment, it is recommended to fix both ends of the chain when the carriage is at the end of its stroke, and the chain is entirely unrolled in the duct.
Description The IRT 710 motor is controlled by IRC5 controller through an ABB Serial Measurement Board. For IRT 710 used to move a manipulator, it is possible to connect the motor resolver to the manipulator’s integrated SMB board (robot option). If there is no robot, or if the robot is not equipped with a resolver socket...

Term Definition Calibration method A collective term for several methods that might be available for calibrating the ABB robot. Each method contains calibration routines. Synchronization position Known position of the complete robot where the angle of each axis can be checked against visual synchronization marks.
Brief description of calibration methods Axis Calibration method Axis Calibration is a standard calibration method for calibration of IRT 710. It is the recommended method in order to achieve proper performance. The following routines are available for the Axis Calibration method: •...
The resolver values are changed If resolver values are changed, the track motion must be recalibrated using the calibration methods supplied by ABB. Calibrate the track motion carefully with standard calibration. The resolver values will change when parts affecting the calibration position are replaced on the track motion, for example motors or parts of the transmission.
Align the sharp edge of the moving part of the calibration marker with the line of the fixed part calibration marker. xx2300001300 Tap ABB on the top left of the FlexPendant. Tap Calibration. Select the desired mechanical unit. Tap Update revolution counters.
FlexPendant. WARNING Calibrating the track with Axis Calibration requires special calibration tools from ABB. Using other pins in the calibration bushings may cause severe damage to the robot and/or personnel. WARNING The calibration tool must be fully inserted into the calibration bushing, until the steel spring ring snaps into place.
Page 347
A benefit with reference calibration is that the current state of the robot is stored and not the state when the robot left the ABB factory. The reference value will be named according to tool name, date etc.
There is no risk for bad calibrations as long as the calibration tool is in one piece. WARNING Calibrating the track with Axis Calibration requires special calibration tools from ABB.

7 Decommissioning 7.1 Environmental information Introduction ABB robots contain components in different materials. During decommissioning, all materials should be dismantled, recycled, or reused responsibly, according to the relevant laws and industrial standards. Robots or parts that can be reused or upcycled helps to reduce the usage of natural resources.
8.4 Screw joints 8.4 Screw joints General This section describes how to tighten the various types of screw joints on ABB robots. The instructions and torque values are valid for screw joints comprised of metallic materials and do not apply to soft or brittle materials.
All components exceeding 22 kg (50 lbs) are highlighted in this way. To avoid injury, ABB recommends the use of a lifting accessory when handling components with a weight exceeding 22 kg. A wide range of lifting accessories and devices are available for each manipulator model.
