General
Robots delivered with the Foundry Prime protection are specially designed to work in water
jet cleaning cells with 100% humidity and alkaline detergent. To ensure that the protection
offers the best reliability, some measures are needed during installation of the robot according
to the procedures below.
NOTE!
For best reliability, it is also of highest importance that the special maintenance instructions
for the Foundry Prime robot are followed and documented.
Commissioning
• Never switch off the overpressure in motors and serial measurement compartment
during cooling down of robot after it has been switched off.
• When turning off an cleaning cell we recommend that the humid air inside a cell is
ventilated out, to avoid that the humid air is sucked into e.g. gearboxes due to the
raised vacuum when cooled down.
Environmental conditions
Humidity 100%
Washing detergent with pH <9.0
Washing detergent must contain rust inhibitor and be
approved by ABB
Cleaning bath temperature <60°C, used in a typical waterjet
cleaning application at suitable
speed.

WARNING!
If the pressurized air contains oil, it could result in a brake failure in the motors and cause the
robot arms to fall down, leding to personal injure or physical damage.
WARNING!
If the air pressure exceeds the specified, it could result in a brake failure in the motors and
cause the robot arms to fall down, leding to personal injure or physical damage.

NOTE!
To reduce the risk for corrosion due to condensation in gearboxes, it is recommendable that
the robot is running with high speed on each axes at least on one occasion each hour. This is
to lubricate the gearbox cavities.
NOTE!
When turning off an cleaning cell we recommend that the humid air is ventilated out from the
cell, to avoid that the humid air is sucked into e.g gearboxes due to the raised vacuum when
cooled down.

Description
The intervals may be specified in different ways depending on the type of maintenance
activity to be carried out and the working conditions of the robot:
• Calendar time: specified in months regardless of whether the robot system is run or not
• Operating time: specified in operating hours. More frequent running of the robot
means more frequent maintenance activities.
• SIS: specified by the robot's SIS (Service Information System). A typical value is
given for a typical work cycle, but the value will differ depending on how hard each
part is run. The SIS is further detailed in section Service Information System, M2000
on page 189
General
The robot must be maintained regularly to ensure proper function. The maintenance activities
and intervals are specified in the table below.
Non-predictable situations also give rise to inspections of the robot. Any damages must be
attended to immediately!
The inspection intervals do not specify the life of each component.
Values for these are specified in Expected component life on page 116.

General
The expected life of a component can vary greatly depending on how hard it is run.
Expected life
1)
The expected life can also be affected by assemblage of cabling other than standard options.
The given life is based on a test cycle that for every axis starts from the calibration position
to minimum angle to maximum angle and back to the calibration position. Deviations from
this cycle will result in differences in expected life! The life may also be affected by acid or
alkaline environment.
2)
The given life for the balancing device is based on a test cycle that starts from the initial
position and goes to maximum extension, and back. Deviations from this cycle will result in
differences in expected life!
3)
The robot is dimensioned for a life of 8 years (350,000 cycles per year) in a normal spot
welding application. Depending on the actual application, the life of individual gearboxes
may vary greatly from this specification. The Service Information System (SIS), integrated
in the robot software, keeps track of the gearbox life in each individual case and will notify
the user when a service is due. For Foundry Prime robots, working in 100% humidity, other
service intervalls may be required.
The SIS for an M2004 system is described in the Operating manual - Service Information
System. Document number can be found in section References on page 10.
For an M2000 system, the SIS is described in section Service Information System, M2000 on

General
Service Information System (SIS) is a software function within the robot controller, which
simplifies maintenance of the robot system. It supervises the operating time and mode of the
robot, and alerts the operator when a maintenance activity is scheduled.
Maintenance is scheduled by setting the system parameters of the type SIS Parameters, see
section Setting the SIS parametersSetting the SIS parameters on page 194. All system
parameters are described in User´s Guide - System Parameters.
Supervised functions
The following counters are available:
• Calendar time counter, a general alarm based on calendar time
• Operation time counter, a general alarm based on operational time
• Gearbox 1 operation time counter, based on percentage of the axis 1 gearbox service
interval
• Gearbox 2 operation time counter, based on percentage of the axis 2 gearbox service
interval
• Gearbox 3 operation time counter, based on percentage of the axis 3 gearbox service
interval
• Gearbox 6 operation time counter, based on percentage of the axis 6 gearbox service
interval
Counters are reset when maintenance has been performed.
The counter status is displayed after running the service routine for maintenance. Status “OK”
indicates that no service interval limit has been exceeded by that counter.
Calendar time
This is a clock within the control system that keeps track of the service interval, based on
Continued
Operation time
This is a function within the control system that keeps track of the amount of time the
"MOTORS ON" signal is active, i.e. the amount of time the robot is in the operating mode.
When the operation time limit for maintenance is reached, a message is displayed on the TPU.
How to access this is detailed in section Reading the SIS output logsReading the SIS output
logs on page 196.
The following information is available about the operation time in the service routine.
Service interval The specified service interval until another service will be required.
This parameter was entered manually as detailed in section Setting
the SIS parametersSetting the SIS parameters on page 194.
Elapsed time Operation time since the service interval was set the last time.
Remaining time Remaining operation time until the time set in service interval has
expired.
Gearbox
Based on measurements, torque and RPM, for example, the system calculates an expected
service interval for each gearbox. When service is due, a message will be shown on the TPU.
How to access this is detailed in section Reading the SIS output logsReading the SIS output
logs on page 196.
The following information is available about the joint service status in the service routine.
Joint x OK Service status for axis x, i.e. the automatically calculated time
parameter has not been exceeded.
Joint x NOK The service interval for the axis in question has been reached.
Joint x N/A No service time parameter calculation available.
Applies to axes 4 and 5 (IRB 6600 and IRB 7600).
The following information is available for the axis service status in the service routine.
Consumed time The consumed time as a percentage of the total amount of time.
Elapsed time Operation time for axis x since calculation began.
Remaining time Remaining operation time for axis x until the service time parameter
value has been reached.

Reset values
Counters may be reset at any time by running the service routine.
When resetting, the counter variables are reset. The variables are described in section Import/
export of SIS dataExporting the SIS data on page 198!
No data available
When no data is available for the selection made, a message (No data available!) is displayed
when trying to display the data.
General
This section details the system parameters that may be set with estimated values. The values
can be defined by the operating organization as knowledge of the robot's working conditions
are accumulated.
Since the counters are to be used for purposes defined by the user, ABB cannot give any
recommendations regarding their definitions.
The figures below shows the options of parameters to be set.

Gearbox warning
A percentage of the gearbox service interval as calculated by the system.
E.g. by setting the value "90", the SIS will alert the operator after 90% of the expected service
interval of each gearbox.
The robot system automatically detects and stores all required variables to calculate the
expected service interval of each gearbox. This is done by extrapolating data from earlier
operation into a function of time, using a formula including:
• input and output torque
• gearbox spindle speed
• other variables

Localize the leak as detailed below.
Remove the leakdown tester, and refit the oil plug.
The test is complete.
7. Spray suspected leak areas with leak detection spray.
Bubbles indicate a leak.
8. When the leak has been localized: take the necessary
measures to correct the leak.
General
This section details how to mount and grease different types of bearings on the robot.
Equipment
2. Make sure the bearing is properly aligned, as this will directly affect the lifespan of the
bearing.
Greasing of bearings
The bearings must be greased after assembly, according to instructions below:
• The bearings must not be completely filled with grease. However, if space is available
beside the bearing fitting, the bearing may be totally filled with grease when mounted,
as excessive grease will be pressed out from the bearing when the robot is started.
• During operation, the bearing should be filled to 70-80% of the available volume.
• Ensure that grease is handled and stored properly, to avoid contamination.
Grease the different types of bearings as detailed below:
• Grooved ball bearings must be filled with grease from both sides.
• Tapered roller bearings and axial needle bearings must be greased in the split
condition.
General
This sections details how to mount different types of seals to the robot.
Equipment
Rotating seals
The procedure below details how to fit rotating seals.
CAUTION!
Please observe the following before commencing any assembly of seals:
• Protect the sealing surfaces during transport and mounting.
• Keep the seal in its original wrappings or protect it well before actual mounting.
• The fitting of seals and gears must be carried out on clean workbenches.
• Use a protective sleeve for the sealing lip during mounting, when sliding over threads,
keyways, etc.
Action Note
1. Check the seal to ensure that:
• the seal is of the correct type (provided with cutting
edge).
• there is no damage to the sealing edge (feel with a
fingernail).
2. Inspect the sealing surface before mounting. If scratches or
damage are found, the seal must be replaced, as it may
result in future leakage.
3. Lubricate the seal with grease just before fitting. (Not too Art. no. is specified in

to the seal.)
Fill the space between the dust tongue and sealing lip to 2/
3 with grease. The rubber coated external diameter must
also be greased, unless otherwise specified.
4. Mount the seal correctly with a mounting tool.
Never hammer directly on the seal as this may result in
leakage.
Action
1. Check the flange surfaces. They must be even and free from pores.
It is easy to check flatness using a gauge on the fastened joint (without sealing
compound).
If the flange surfaces are defective, the parts may not be used because leakage could
occur.

5 Calibration information
5.1. Introduction
General
This chapter includes general information about different calibration methods and also details
procedures that do not require specific calibration equipment.
When the robot system must be recalibrated, it is done according to documentation enclosed
with the calibration tools.
When to calibrate
The system must be calibrated if any of the below occurs.
The revolution counters must also be updated after the robot and controller are connected at
the first installation.
Overview
This section specifies the different types of calibration and the calibration methods that are
supplied from ABB.

calibration position, i.e. the axes positions (angles) are (standard method)
set to 0º. or
Standard calibration data is found in the file Levelmeter calibration
calib.cfg, supplied with the robot at delivery. (alternative method)
The file identifies the correct resolver/motor
position corresponding to the robot home
position.
From deliveries together with RobotWare 5.0.5
and higher, the data will instead be found on
the SMB (serial measurement board) in the
robot, and not in a separate file.
Absolute Accuracy Based on standard calibration, and besides CalibWare
calibration positioning the robot at home position, the
(optional) Absolute Accuracy calibration also
compensates for:
• mechanical tolerances in the robot
structure
• deflection due to load.
Absolute Accuracy calibration focuses on
positioning accuracy in the Cartesian
coordinate system for the robot.
Absolute Accuracy data is found in the file
absacc.cfg, supplied with the robot at delivery.
The file replaces the calib.cfg file and identifies

The illustration below shows the location of the calibration scales on specific plates and the
calibration marks directly in the casting at axes 2 and 3.
The figure shows IRB 6600, but the scales and their positions are the same for IRB 6650S
and IRB 7600.
xx0200000176
Overview
When calibrating, the axis must consistently be run towards the calibration position in the
same direction, in order to avoid position errors caused by backlash in gears etc. Positive
directions are shown in the figure below.
This is normally handled by the robot calibration software.

General
This section details how to tighten the various types of screw joints on the robot.
The instructions and torque values are valid for screw joints comprised of metallic materials
and do not apply to soft or brittle materials.
UNBRAKO screws
UNBRAKO is a special type of screw recommended by ABB for certain screw joints. It
features special surface treatment (Gleitmo as described below), and is extremely resistant to
fatigue.
Whenever used, this is specified in the instructions, and in such cases, no other type of
replacement screw is allowed! Using other types of screws will void any warranty and may
potentially cause serious damage or injury!
Continued
Tightening torque
Before tightening any screw, note the following:
• Determine whether a standard tightening torque or special torque is to be applied. The
standard torques are specified in the tables below. Any special torques are specified in
the Repair, Maintenance or Installation procedure description. Any special torque
specified overrides the standard value.
• Use the correct tightening torque for each type of screw joint.
• Only use correctly calibrated torque keys.
• Always tighten the joint by hand, and never use pneumatical tools.
• Use the correct tightening technique, that is do not jerk. Tighten the screw in a slow,
flowing motion.
• Maximum allowed total deviation from the specified value is 10%!
The table below specifies the recommended standard tightening torque for oil-lubricated
screws with slotted or cross-recess head screws.

10 Circuit Diagram
10.1. Introduction
Overview
This chapter includes the circuit diagram for the robot.
Use the correct circuit diagram (IRB 6600, IRB 6650 and IRB 6650S)
The cable harness of the robot is available in two different designs. Either the cabling is
divided between the upper and lower arm, or not. Accordingly there are also two different
versions of the circuit diagram. Determine which circuit diagram that is valid for the robot,
by checking the article number for the cable harness.
