1.1.1 Safety, service - General
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 have been 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. Users Guide and Product Manual.
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. In the Product Manual - Installation and Commissioning, instructions are provided for connecting safety devices between the robot and the peripheral equipment.

1.2.5 Safety risks during installation and service
The instructions in the Product Manual - Installation and Commissioning must always be followed. Emergency stop buttons must be positioned in easily accessible places so that the robot can be stopped quickly. Those in charge of operations must make sure that safety instructions are available for the installation in question. Those who install the robot must have the appropriate training for the robot system in question and in any safety matters associated with it.
To prevent injuries and damage during the installation of the robot system, the regulations applicable in the country concerned and the instructions of ABB Robotics must be complied with.
Safety zones, which have to be crossed before admittance, must be set up in front of the robot's working space. Light beams or sensitive mats are suitable devices. Turntables or the like should be used to keep the operator out of the robot's working space. The axes are affected by the force of gravity when the brakes are released. In addition to the risk of being hit by moving robot parts, you run the risk of being crushed by the parallel arm. Energy, stored in the robot for the purpose of counterbalancing certain axes, may be released if the robot, or parts thereof, is dismantled. When dismantling/assembling mechanical units, watch out for falling objects. Be aware of stored heat energy in the controller. Never use the robot as a ladder, i.e. do not climb on the robot motors or other parts during service work. There is a serious risk of slipping because of the high temperature of the motors or oil spills that can occur on the robot.
The supplier of the complete system must ensure that all circuits used in the safety function are interlocked in accordance with the applicable standards for that function. The supplier of the complete system must ensure that all circuits used in the emergency stop function are interlocked in a safe manner, in accordance with the applicable standards for the emergency stop function.

1.2.6 Risks associated with live electric parts
Although troubleshooting may, on occasion, have to be carried out while the power supply is turned on, the robot must be turned off (by setting the mains switch to OFF) when repairing faults, disconnecting electric leads and disconnecting or connecting units. The mains supply to the robot must be connected in such a way that it can be turned off outside the robots working space.
Tools, material handling devices, etc., may be live even if the robot system is in the OFF position. Power supply cables which are in motion during the working process may be damaged.

1.3.1 Safety fence dimensions
General
Install a safety cell around the robot to ensure safe robot installation and operation.
Dimensioning
Dimension the fence or enclosure to enable it to withstand the force created if the load being handled by the robot is dropped or released at maximum speed. Determine the maximum speed from the maximum velocities of the robot axes and from the position at which the robot is working in the work cell (see Product Specification - Description, Robot Motion). Also consider the maximum possible impact caused by a breaking or malfunctioning rotating tool or other device fitted to the manipulator.

1.3.3 Emergency release of the manipulators arm
Description
In an emergency situation, any of the manipulators axes may be released manually by pushing the brake release buttons on the manipulator or on an optional external brake release unit. How to release the brakes is detailed in section Manually releasing the brakes in the Product manual for the manipulator. The manipulator 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!

1.3.4 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
These instructions are to be used when unpacking and installing the manipulator for the first time. They also contain information useful later during re-installation of the manipulator.
The check-list below details what must be observed before proceeding with the actual installation of the manipulator: 1. Make sure only qualified installation personnel conforming to all national and local codes are allowed to perform the installation. 2. Make sure the manipulator is not damaged, by visually inspecting the manipulator and control cabinet exterior. 3. Make sure the lifting device to be used is dimensioned to handle the weight of the manipulator as specified in Weight, manipulator on page 34. 4. If the manipulator is not to be installed directly, it must be stored as described in Storage conditions, manipulator on page 36. 5. Make sure the expected operating environment of the manipulator conforms to the specifications as described in Operating conditions, manipulator on page 37. 6. Before taking the manipulator to the installation site, make sure the site conforms to Loads on foundation, manipulator on page 35and Protection classes on page 37. 7. When the manipulator is not fastened to the floor and standing still, the manipulator is not stable in the work area. Care must be taken when the arms are moved, so that the center of gravity is not displaced which may cause the manipulator to tip over. 8. When these prerequisites are met, the manipulator may be taken to its installation site as described in section On-site installation on page 42.

The table below shows the various forces and torques working on the manipulator during different kinds of operation. Stress forces for the manipulator version IRB 4400/S are detailed separately in the following table. Note! These forces and torques are extreme values that are rarely encountered during operation. The values also never simultaneously reach their maximum! The rigidity of the foundation must be designed to minimize the affects of dynamic behaviour on the robot. For optimal performance, the frequency for the foundation bearing the robot must be higher than 30 Hz. TuneServo can be used to adapt robot tuning for a non-optimal foundation. Fxy and Mxy are vectors that can have any direction on the xy plane. The illustration below shows the directions of the stress forces.

1. The battery is used as a back-up when the robot system is switched off. Therefore, the life of a lithium battery depends on how frequently the power to the system is switched off and also if the environment temperature is higher than recommended operating temperature. The life varies from 12 - 36 mths, depending on current conditions. An alert is given on the TPU when the battery is nearly discharged and it must then be replaced within a month. 2. The gearboxes are lubricated for life, which corresponds to 40,000 hours of operation if the robot is operating with an ambient temperature of less than 40C. If the temperature is higher, the oil should be changed! 3. Must be replaced if bent!

General
This section details how to mount and grease different types of bearings on the manipulator.
Note
Used to grease the bearings, if not specified otherwise.
Follow the instructions below when mounting a bearing on the manipulator. 1. To avoid contamination, let a new bearing remain in its wrapping until it is time for fitting. 2. Ensure that all parts included in the bearing fitting are free from burrs, grinding waste and other contamination. Cast components must be free from foundry sand. 3. Bearing rings, inner rings and roller elements must under no circumstances be subjected to direct impact. Furthermore, the roller elements must not be exposed to any stresses during the assembly work.
Follow the previous instructions for assembly of all bearings, when mounting a tapered bearing on the manipulator. In addition to those instructions, the procedure below must be carried out to enable the roller elements to adjust to the correct position against the race flange. 1. Tension the bearing gradually until the recommended pre-tension is achieved. 2. Note! The roller elements must be rotated a specified number of turns before pretensioning is carried out and also rotated during the pre-tensioning sequence. 3. Make sure the bearing is properly aligned, as this will directly affect the lifespan of the bearing.

Rotate the motor shaft with the measuring tool. Measure the torque in both directions with a spring balance. A normal torque is 0.6-0.8 Nm (=6-8 N on radius 100 mm). Torques higher than 0.8 Nm are not allowed, as they will reduce the lifetime of the motor and gear. Loosen the lower and upper screws until the motor can be moved sideways by hand. Note! The brake must be released in the motor. Push the motor with one hand against the gear and tighten the two screws with the other hand. Measure the torque with the motor shaft in different positions. The torque should be max. 0.1 Nm (on radius 50 mm) more than measured before. If the torque is more, slightly loosen the screws a little and carefully knock the motor in the opposite direction then measure the torque again.

Calibration methods
This chapter details how to calibrate the robot with the Wyler calibration equipment, using Levelmeter 2000. The robot can also be calibrated with the Calibration Pendulum equipment, as detailed in the Calibration Pendulum Instruction, enclosed with the Pendulum toolkit.
When to calibrate
Calibrate the measurement system carefully as detailed in section Calibration on page 230 if any of the resolver values have changed. This may occur when parts affecting the calibration position are replaced on the robot.
Calibrate the system roughly as detailed in section Updating the revolution counters on page 248 if the contents of the revolution counter memory are lost. This may occur when:
the battery is discharged a resolver error occurs the signal between a resolver and measurement board is interrupted a robot axis is moved with the control system disconnected

5.1.1 How to calibrate the robot system
General
This section provides an overview of the procedures to perform when calibrating the robot system. Many of the steps in this overview are detailed in other sections to which references are given.
The calibration procedure with Wyler equipment may be performed with either one or two sensors. The procedure detailed here is performed with only one sensor and may be described as checking an pre-adjusted sensor, trying to obtain the same measurement value on every axis as when adjusted at the reference plane. All article numbers of relevant equipment are specified in their instructions respectively.
Action
Check that all required hardware is available for calibrating the robot.
Note
Required hardware is specified in the calibrating procedures for each axis.

Introduction
This section specifies the calibration scale positions and/or correct axis position for all robot models.
Safety information
Warning! If work must be carried out within the robots work envelope, the following points must be observed: - The operating mode selector on the controller must be in the manual mode position to render the enabling device operative and to block operation from a computer link or remote control panel. - The robots speed is limited to max. 250 mm/s when the operating mode selector is in position < 250 mm/s. This should be the normal position when entering the working space. The position 100% full speedmay only be used by trained personnel who are aware of the risks that this entails. - Pay attention to the rotating axes of the manipulator! Keep a distance to the axes in order not to get entangled with hair or clothing. Also be aware of any danger that may be caused by rotating tools or other devices mounted on the manipulator or inside the cell. - Test the motor brake on each axis, according to section Brake testing on page 28.

When calibrating an axis with only one sensor, the sensor must first be positioned at the base of the manipulator in order to create reference values. This is further detailed in section Resetting of Levelmeter 2000 and sensor on page 233. These reference values are then used to calibrate the axes of the manipulator. The reference sensor and the calibration sensor is consequently the same sensor used at different locations. When using the sensor as a reference at the base, it is fitted to a sensor fixture together with a sensor plate, as shown in the figure below. The sensor has different directions, depending on which axis is calibrated. The directions are shown in the figure below.
