2.10 Additional installation (Foundry Prime)
2.10.1 Installation of IRB 4600 Foundry Prime in a water jet application
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
100%
Humidity
<9.0
Washing detergent with pH
Washing detergent must contain rust inhibitor and
be approved by ABB.
<60°C, used in a typical waterjet clean-
ing application at suitable speed.
Cleaning bath temperature
Air specification for pressurizing of robot
The air must be dry and clean, such as instrument air. Following table details the
air specification.
<+2°C at 6 bar
Dew point
<5 microns
Solid particle size
<1 ppm (1 mg/m3)
Oil content
0.2 - 0.3 bar
Pressure to robot
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.
