1.1.1 Instruction

General

IRB 140 is a 6-axis industrial robot, designed specifically for manufacturing industries that use flexible robot-based automation. The robot has an open structure that is
specially adapted for flexible use, and can communicate extensively with external
systems.

Foundry and
Wash robots

The robot versions Foundry and Wash are designed for harsh environments and have
special surface treatment and paint for excellent corrosion protection. The connectors
are designed for severe environment, and bearings, gears and other sensitive parts are
high protected. The robots have the FoundryPlus protection which means that the
whole manipulator is IP67 classified and steam washable.

Clean Room
robots

The Clean Room robots are classified for clean room class 10 according to US Federal Standard 209 or class 4 according to ISO 14644-1.
The robot is equipped with the IRC5 controller and robot control software, RobotWare for M2004 and with the S4Cplus controller and robot control software
BaseWare OS for M2000. RobotWare och BaseWare OS supports every aspect of the
robot system, such as motion control, development and execution of application programs, communication etc. See Product Specification IRC5 for M2004 and Product
Specification S4Cplus for M2000.
Safety standards require a controller to be connected to the robot.
For additional functionality, the robot can be equipped with optional software for
application support - for example gluing and arc welding, communication features network communication - and advanced functions such as multitasking, sensor control etc. For a complete description on optional software, see the Product Specification RobotWare Options.

1 Description
1.1.2 Different robot versions

Safety

The robot is designed with absolute safety in mind. It has a dedicated safety system
based on a two-channel circuit which is monitored continuously. If any component
fails, the electrical power supplied to the motors shuts off and the brakes engage.

Safety category 3

Malfunction of a single component, such as a sticking relay, will be detected at the

next MOTOR OFF/MOTOR ON operation. MOTOR ON is then prevented and the
faulty section is indicated. This complies with category 3 of EN 954-1, Safety of
machinery - safety related parts of control systems - Part 1.

Selecting the
operating mode

The robot can be operated either manually or automatically. In manual mode, the
robot can only be operated via the teach pendant, i.e. not by any external equipment.

Reduced speed

In manual mode, the speed is limited to a maximum of 250 mm/s (600 inches/min.).
A speed limitation applies not only to the TCP (Tool Centre Point), but to all parts of
the robot. It is also possible to monitor the speed of equipment mounted on the robot.

Three position
enabling device

The enabling device on the teach pendant must be used to move the robot when in
manual mode. The enabling device consists of a switch with three positions, meaning
that all robot movements stop when either the enabling device is pushed fully in, or
when it is released completely. This makes the robot safer to operate.

Safe manual
movement

The robot is moved using a joystick instead of the operator having to look at the teach
pendant to find the right key.

Over-speed
protection

The speed of the robot is monitored by two independent computers.

Emergency stop

There is one emergency stop push button on the controller and another on the teach
pendant. Additional emergency stop buttons can be connected to the robots safety
chain circuit.

Safeguarded
space stop

The robot has a number of electrical inputs which can be used to connect external
safety equipment, such as safety gates and light curtains. This allows the robots
safety functions to be activated both by peripheral equipment and by the robot itself.

Delayed
safeguarded
space stop

A delayed stop gives a smooth stop. The robot stops in the same way as at normal
program stop with no deviation from the programmed path. After approx. one second
the power supplied to the motors shuts off.

Collision
detection (option)

In case an unexpected mechanical disturbance like a collision, electrode stik etc

appears, the robot will stop and slightly back off from its stop position.

Restricting the
working space

The movement of each of the axes can be restricted using software limits.

Hold-to-run
control

Hold-to-run means that you must depress the start button in order to move the
robot. When the key is released the robot will stop. The hold-to-run function makes
program testing safer.

Fire safety

Both the manipulator and control system comply with ULs (Underwriters Laboratories) tough requirements for fire safety.

Safety lamp
(option)

The robot can be equipped with a safety lamp mounted on the manipulator. This is
activated when the motors are in the MOTORS ON state.

1.4 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

1.4.1 Introduction

General

Maintenance

The robot requires only a minimum of maintenance during operation. It has been
designed to make it as easy to service as possible:

Maintenance-free AC motors are used.

Oil is used for all gear boxes.

The cabling is routed for longevity, and in the unlikely event of a failure, its modular
design makes it easy to change.

It has a program memory battery low alarm.

The following maintenance is required:

Changing batteries every third year.

The maintenance intervals depends on the use of the robot. For detailed information
on maintenance procedures, see Maintenance section in the Product Manual.

For connection of extra equipment on the manipulator, there are cables integrated
into the manipulators cabling from the controller to the upper arm housing.
In the controller, the signals are connected to 12-pole terminals, Phoenix MSTB 2.5/
12-ST-5.08, and on the upper arm housing to FCI UT07 14 12SH44N.
Hose for compressed air is also integrated into the manipulator. There is an inlet
(R 1 / 4) at the base and an outlet (R1/4) on the upper arm housing.
