Safety, service
Safety risks
Non-voltage related risks
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 or when the motors or other components are removed. 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.
To be observed by the supplier of the complete system
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.
Risks associated with live electric parts
Voltage related risks, general
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.

Safety, service
Safety risks
Voltage related risks, controller, S4Cplus
A danger of high voltage is associated with the following parts:

Be aware of stored electrical energy (DC link) in the controller. Units inside the controller, e.g. I/O modules, can be supplied with power from an external source. The mains supply/mains switch The power unit The power supply unit for the computer system (230 VAC) The rectifier unit (400-480 VAC and 700 VDC. N.B.: Capacitors!) The drive unit (700 VDC) The service outlets (115/230 VAC) The power supply unit for tools, or special power supply units for the machining process The external voltage connected to the control cabinet remains live even when the robot is disconnected from the mains. Additional connections
Voltage related risks, manipulator, IRB 940 Tricept
A danger of high voltage is associated with the manipulator in:

The distribution box for the manipulator (up to 430 VDC) The power supply for the motors (up to 430 VDC) The user connections for tools or other parts of the installation (max. 230V AC, see Product Manual - Installation and Commissioning)
Voltage related risks, tools, material handling devices, etc.
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.
Safety, service
Safety actions
Section C: Safety actions Safety fence dimensions
General
Install a safety cell around the robot to ensure safe robot installation and operation.
Dimensioning the fence or enclosure
Design the safety cell such that it will:

- withstand any impact from a tool failure. Due to the high kinetic energy associated with HSM (High Speed Machining), a tool failure poses a serious risk as any debris can cause serious personal injury. Both walls and ceilings must be designed and dimensioned so that they can withstand any projectiles that they may be subjected to. Windows must be made of suitable safety glass. Study the planned process to determine the forces involved and appropriate materials. - insulate against sound pollution from the machining process. Typically the safety cell should be able to reduce sound from the machining process down to 75dBA, though individual installations may stipulate other values. Study the planned process to determine the allowable noise pollution levels and appropriate sound insulation. - isolate gases and mist generated by the machining process and spray mist lubrication. Study the planned process to determine the fumes involved and appropriate ventilation/filtering system.
Fire extinguishing
Use a CARBON DIOXIDE (CO 2 ) extinguisher in the event of a fire in the robot (manipulator or controller)!

Safety, service
Safety actions
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 distribution box for the manipulator. How to release the brakes is detailed in section "Manually releasing the brakes" in the Installation Manual. The manipulator arms may be moved manually when the brakes has been released.
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!
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.
Safety, service
Safety actions
Risk of disabling function "Reduced speed 250 mm/s"

Do not change "Transm gear ratio" or other kinematic parameters from the Teach Pendant Unit or a PC. This will affect the safety function Reduced speed 250 mm/s.
Safe use of the Teach Pendant Unit

The enabling device is a push button located on the side of the Teach Pendant Unit (TPU) which, when pressed halfway in, takes the system to MOTORS ON. When the enabling device is released or pushed all the way in, the robot is taken to the MOTORS OFF state. To ensure safe use of the Teach Pendant Unit, the following must be implemented: The enabling device must never be rendered inoperative in any way. During programming and testing, the enabling device must be released as soon as there is no need for the robot to move. The programmer must always bring the Teach Pendant Unit with him/her, when entering the robots working space. This is to prevent anyone else taking control over the robot without the programmer knowing.
Work inside the manipulators working range

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 speed may only be used by trained personnel who are aware of the risks that this entails. Also be aware of any danger that may be caused by rotating tools or other devices mounted on the manipulator or inside the cell.

xx0200000374
Connection to earth
If the difference of potential between the control system and the DDU is too large or there are suspicions of shorter drops in voltage, the DDU must be connected to earth. This is done at the connection point GND (see the part "Connectors on the DDU").
Fan cooling
The main power from the control cabinet also feeds two fans in the DDU via an internal transformer with three input taps. The transformer wires are connected as
0 - 400V for nominal mains input 400V 0 - 440V for nominal mains input 440V 0 - 480V for nominal mains input 480V
65
Controller
Overheating
Overheating of the DDU may be caused by the following:

A line voltage lower than 480V is used, while the fans are connected as 480V. This causes a reduced fan cooling. See Changing the connection of the transformer below. The fuse, located at the screw terminal, has caused the fans to stop. Insufficient airflow. See Increasing the airflow below. Too heavy drive at too high ambient temperature. See the manual External axes.
Changing the connection of the transformer
The default connection of the transformer is the nominal mains input 480V. The cooling is, however, reduced, when a lower line voltage is used and there may be a risk that the drive unit is triggered at a high surrounding temperature. Therefore, if the line voltage differs from 480V, it is recommended to switch over the default connection to 440V or 400V instead. To change the voltage, remove the lid of the DDU and switch the connections on the screw terminals (see the part "Connections to screw terminals").
Controller
Increasing the airflow
If there appears to be an overheating of the DDU, without suspicion of reduced fan cooling, the airflow may be increased by replacing the two covering plates with vents, see figure below. This gives four openings instead of the normal two.

Interference elimination
External units
External relay coils, solenoids, and other units that will be connected to the controller must be neutralized. The figure below illustrates how this can be done.
The turn-off time for DC relays increases after neutralization, especially if a diode is connected across the coil. Varistors give shorter turn-off times. Neutralizing the coils lengthens the life of the switches that control them.
Clamping with a diode
The diode should be dimensioned for the same current as the relay coil, and a voltage of twice the supply voltage.

Connections to screw terminals
Overview
This section describes how to connect conductors to screw terminals. Detailed information about connection location and functions will be found in the circuit diagram (Service Manual).
Installation
The installation should comply with the IP54 (NEMA 12) protective standard. 1. Bend unused conductors backwards and attach them to the cable using a clasp, or similar.
To prevent interference, ensure that unused conductors are not connected at the other end of the cable (antenna effect). In environments with much interference, disconnected conductors should be grounded (0V) at both ends.
Controller
Connections to connectors
Location of connectors
If ordered, industrial connectors can be found on the left-hand side or front of the control cabinet (depending on the customer order). Also see the figure in section "Connectors on control cabinet"! The manipulator arm (not IRB 940 Tricept) is equipped with round Burndy/Framatome connectors (customer connector not included).
Connectors, description
Each industrial connector has accommodation for four rows of 16 conductors with a maximum conductor area of 1.5 mm 2. The pull-relief clamp must be used when connecting the shield to the case.
Making the connection
The section below details how to crimp cable connections to pins: 1. Using a special crimp tool, crimp a pin or socket on to each non-insulated conductor.
When two conductors are be connected to the same pin or socket, both of them must be crimped into the same pin or socket. A maximum of two conductors may be crimped into the same pin or socket.
2. Snap the pin into the connector housing. 3. Push the pin into the connector until it locks. 4. A special extractor tool must be used when removing pins or sockets from industrial connectors.

C - 4: Supplies External 24V supply
When is an external supply recommended?
An external supply is recommended to make use of the advantages offered by the galvanic insulation on the I/O units or on the panel unit. An external supply must be used in the following cases:
When the internal supply is insufficient When the emergency stop circuits must be independent of whether or not the robot has power on, for example. When there is a risk that major interference can be carried over into the internal 24V supply.
How to connect the external supply
The external supply neutral wire must be connected to the chassis such that the maximum permitted potential difference in the chassis earth is not exceeded. For example, a neutral wire can be connected to the chassis earth of the controller, or some other common earthing point.
Technical data

Used for internal I/O unit mounted inside the cabinet. No terminating resistor is fitted on CAN 1.1 regardless of whether any I/O units are used or not. CAN 1.1 is connected to socket X15 on the Base connector unit (see Connection of the CAN bus).
CAN 1.2
If CAN 1.2 is not used, a terminating resistor must be connected to the X6 socket (exceptional case see below!). If CAN 1.2 is used, the terminating resistor should be moved to the last I/O unit on the CAN 1.2 chain.
If CAN 1.2, for example, is not connected at the end of any CAN chain but somewhere between the end points of the chain, then no terminating resistor should be mounted in CAN 1.3. This is in accordance with the basic rule, i.e. the CAN chain should be terminated in both end points.
CAN 1.3
If CAN 1.3 is unused, a terminating resistor must be connected to the X7 socket. If CAN 1.3 is used, the terminating resistor should be moved to the last I/O unit on the CAN 1.3 chain.
If CAN 1.2, for example, is not connected at the end of any CAN chain but somewhere between the end points of the chain, then no terminating resistor should be mounted in CAN 1.3. This is in accordance with the basic rule, i.e. the CAN chain should be terminated in both end points.

C - 7: Communication Communication concept, Allen-Bradley
General
The robot may communicate with the Allen Bradley system only, or be used in combination with the I/O system in the robot. For example, the inputs to the robot may come from the Allen Bradley system while the outputs from the robot control external equipment go via general I/O addresses and the Allen Bradley system only reads the outputs as status signals.
Definitions
The Allen Bradley system can communicate with up to 64 external systems. Each of these systems is called a Rack and is given a Rack Address 0-63. Basically, each robot connected to the Allen Bradley system will occupy one rack. Each rack is divided into four sections called Quarters. Each quarter provides 32 inputs and 32 outputs and a rack will subsequently provide 128 inputs and 128 outputs. A rack may also be shared by 2, 3, or 4 robots. Each of these robots will then have the same rack address, but different starting quarters must be specified.
Controller
Illustration
The illustration below shows a block diagram of the Allen-Bradley system, where Robot 1 uses a full rack while robot 2 and robot 3 share one rack. The rack address, starting quarter, and other required parameters such as baud rate, LED status etc. are entered in the configuration parameters.

Installation of controller software
Section E: Installation of controller software Loading system software
General
The robot system may be delivered with or without system software. When the system is not delivered with software, this must be downloaded in one of a number of ways.
Software installed on delivery
If the robot controller is ordered with the software installed on delivery, the controller software and settings are already stored in the storage memory and the system is ready to use.
Software not installed on delivery
If the robot controller is ordered and delivered without software or if you want to reconfigure your system, the RobInstall tool must be used to install the controller software. The RobInstall tool is included on the RobotWare CD-ROM (see section "RobotWare CD-ROM"). The RobInstall tool can be used both for creation of the controller software and for downloading it to the controller system.

Boot Image
The transfer and installation of the controller software to the controller storage memory via Ethernet or floppy disks is executed by a basic program named Boot Image. This basic program must always be in the storage memory. When starting the controller, with no controller software installed, Boot Image will start and ask the operator for controller software installation instructions. If the controller software is already installed and a warm start is performed, Boot Image is not used. The installed controller software can be deleted by a cold start and then the Boot Image will be reactivated.

Contents
1. RobInstall
Description
A PC tool used to create and install the controller operating system in the robot control system. On-line documentation for the RobInstall application and the Controller Operating System Package. Controller Operating System Package for S4Cplus. This package includes all the software needed to create the controller operating system with any ordered options. Please note that it is possible to install different releases with different versions of the same system package (see section "Media Pool in the PC"). A tool (created in LabView) for viewing MotionTest Signals (oscilloscope function) and also for logging these signals. On the CD is also included a so called FTP client named Voyager. Please note that this is not an ABB product but a shareware program, which means that it can be installed and used for a limited time, but that it has to be registered for permanent use. Registering means that a certain fee must be paid to the vendor. The FTP client is used to transport files manually between the PC and the robot controller storage memory. These actions are carried out in the same way as in a file manager or in Windows Explorer.

Installing new Robot Controller Software with RobInstall
General
Since most systems have the operating system installed already on delivery, the RobotWare CD-ROM is normally not needed. However it should be used when:
creating a new controller operating system, changing the current operating system configuration, e.g. concerning included options.
Nomenclature
In the text dealing with RobInstall, the following nomenclature is used:
Concept:
System pack
Means:
This is the RobotWare Controller Operating System Package for S4Cplus, including all options, even if they are not ordered and activated. This is a text string, or a special file with the text string, which is used to define and open both the BaseWare and all ordered RobotWare options. This is a complete controller software, i.e. controller operating system, based on the system pack and the key. It can also include any user files to be added to the home directory on the controller storage memory.

P-START, reinstallation of RAPID
A P-Start will warm start the current system, with a reinstallation of the RAPID language and all auto-loaded modules. This means that all RAPID program and system modules currently loaded in the working memory will be closed, and thus have to be reloaded again after the P-Start, with the exception of such modules that are automatically loaded, due to settings in the System Parameters/Controller/ Task Modules.

C-START (Cold start), delete the active system
When executing a C-Start, the system exits the running system and deletes it from the mass storage memory. The BootImage is then executed and the Start window as shown in the figure in section "Start Window" is displayed.
Use C-start with caution. Since it deletes the current system, it should not be used to just switch between installed systems. For this purpose, use X-Start (see section "X-start"). It will take quite some time to implement a Cold start. Just wait until the robot shows the Start window. When the Start window is shown, a new system can be selected if available in the mass storage memory (see section "Select System) or a new system can be downloaded and started (see section "Transfer Robot Controller System using Ethernet connection" or "Transfer Robot Controller System using floppy disks"). Do not touch any key, joystick, enable device, or emergency stop during the cold start until the Start window is shown as in the figure in section "Start Window".

How to Start in Query Mode
Pre-conditions for selecting Query Mode start
If "Use Query Mode at System Boot" was selected when creating the system in RobInstall (see section "Change options or system pack revision"), it is possible to set some values, e.g. language, IRB type (within the same model) or options, at the first start-up of the system, using a C-Start (see section "C-start"), or later on when performing an I-Start (see section "I-start").
Types of Query Mode
The first question from the system is which Query Mode to start. Depending on your needs, you should select one of the following three:
Silent Mode, pushbutton Silent. If Silent Mode is selected, the operating system will be installed with the system configured as defined in RobInstall. Easy Query Mode, pushbutton Easy Query. In Easy Query Mode you can change language, remove selected options and select service or standard mode (see section "Easy Query Mode"). Query Mode, pushbutton Query.

System directory structure
Section G: System directory structure Media pool in the PC
Directory
All RobotWare System Packages and Option Packages are stored in a media pool directory (folder) as shown in the table below. Two revisions of the same system package may exist in the pool. By default, after having installed RobInstall, a directory "MediaPool" will be found in the directory Program Files\ABB Robotics\, and will also be the current one. However any directory in the structure can be set up as the current media pool in the Preference window (see section "Robinstall Preferences").

Naming conventions
Each package is stored in a directory, the name of which is an article number ending with the sub-number and with the revision number as shown in the table above. All the system packs and option packs in one media pool must have the correct revision numbers in their directory names. Thus a later revision can be loaded into the program pool, to be added to the old one, without changing the article number.
Controller
System pool in the PC
Directory
All systems created with the RobInstall will be stored in a system pool. The default name of such a system pool is "system" as shown below. Each system stored in the system pool is a directory with the name of the system as shown in the table below. By default, after installing RobInstall, a directory "system" will be found in Program Files\ABB Robotics\ and will also be the current one. However any directory in the structure can be set up as the current system directory in the Create New System window or Select System window.

File system requirements
The system directory must hold these files and directories to allow software installation:
key.id (encrypted key file for the actual controller) program.id (file with paths to selected programs in the media pool) A syspar directory containing .cfg files to be included in the software installation procedure. All system parameter files, included when creating a system with RobInstall, are stored in this syspar directory as shown in the table in section "System Pool Directory". A directory called Home. In this home directory the user can include any file or files, which should be downloaded to the controller together with the operating system. Such files will then be placed in the home directory of the system in the controller.

File structure in the robot controller mass storage memory
Files in root directory, hd0a
The root directory of the mass storage memory is called hd0a. This includes several components:
File name
bin BootRom.sys MC.cfg ctrl.bin system.dir system directories
Description
BootImage code System configuration and description file for the mass storage memory Network configuration for the main computer Holds e.g. revolution counter values Holds information on the current system Different systems stored in the mass storage memory
E.g. 3HAC6811-1.00 Control system package, named as an article number
Directories and subdirectories
Each system directory holds a number of subdirectories, defining for instance language, options, robots, etc.
"Home" directory
The system directory is the "home" directory for the system. When using the address "home:" in the RAPID program, this directory will be addressed.
"Bin" subdirectory
The subdirectory bin, containing the storage area for all system data, e.g. at power break. This means that at warm start, in addition to restoring the operating system from the control system package, all system data is restored from this directory and reloaded into the working memory.
Never change these directories!
Never delete or change the \bin or BootRom.sys directories in the root directory. If this is done, the controller cannot be restarted and it will be impossible to use the mass storage memory.

Files to be prepared
The list details what happens during preparation:

RobInstall creates a file named Key.id from the key strings specifying the options to be installed from the System Pack and the external option programs to be installed. Unless deselected in RobInstall, the latest revision of the System Pack and External Option Programs is selected as default (see section "Change options or system pack revisions"). These are copied from the media pool and concatenated into one target file that also holds the key.id and the syspar directory. This may then be downloaded to the controller via Ethernet or a set of diskettes. The target file is temporarily stored in the system directory before downloading or creating diskettes.

Handling mass memory storage capacity
General
In some cases it is very important that there is enough free space in the mass storage memory, before attempting to download new system software. How to check its capacity, and if required increase it, is detailed below. A manual check on the free space can be done in one of the following ways:
Checking storage capacity from the Teach Pendant Unit
1. Press the button Miscellaneous to select Service window. 2. Select Storage Capacity from the System Info menu. The Mass Storage Memory is called hd0a.
Checking storage capacity through connection to the MC/CONSOLE port
1. Connect a console to the MC/CONSOLE outlet on the controller and execute the command dosFsShow.
There should always be at least 25 Mb free disk space on the controller mass storage memory before attempting to download a new system. For information on how to increase storage capacity, see below!
Increasing storage capacity
If the capacity of the mass storage memory is less than 25 Mb when a new controller system is to be downloaded, storage memory must be released by removing old systems from the mass storage memory. This can be done in one of the following ways: 1. Boot up on the system you would like to remove and then make a CSTART (see section "C-start"). 2. Use the FileManager in the Teach Pendant Unit, see Users Guide - File Manager, for more information on how to use the FileManager. 3. Use a third-party "ftp" client (like FTPVoyager supplied on the RobotWare CD).
Controller
Removing systems using the FileManager or FTP-client may be hazardous since the \bin and BootRom.sys directories must be kept intact. Proceed with the utmost care to avoid accidentally removing such files or directories!

Chapter 5:Calibration
When to calibrate
Types of calibration procedures
Calibrate the measurement system carefully if any of the resolver values has been changed. This may occur when parts affecting the calibration position have been replaced on the robot. Calibrate the system roughly as detailed in section "Updating the revolution counter" 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 has been moved with the control system disconnected

Preliminaries
Correct position of axes 1-2-3
The axes 1-2-3 should be positioned with an approximate distance of 26 mm between the actuator and the calibration spacer above the lower joint, shown in figure above. This distance is set exactly during the fine calibration procedure.
Correct orientation of axis 4
The procedure below details how to check and eventually correct the orientation of axis 4.
Axis 4 has no mechanical limitation! Cabling inside the manipulator may be damaged if axis 4 is oriented incorrectly when performing calibration of the robot!
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 speed may only be used by trained personnel who are aware of the risks that this entails.

- withstand any impact from a tool failure. Due to the high kinetic energy associated with HSM (High Speed Machining), a tool failure poses a serious risk as any debris can cause serious personal injury. Both walls and ceilings must be designed and dimensioned so that they can withstand any projectiles that they may be subjected to. Windows must be made from suitable safety glass. Study the planned process to determine the forces involved and appropriate materials. - insulate against sound pollution from the machining process. Typically the safety cell should be able to reduce sound from the machining process down to 75dBA, though individual installations may stipulate other values. Study the planned process to determine the allowable noise pollution levels and appropriate sound insulation. - isolate gases and mist generated by the machining process and spray mist lubrication. Study the planned process to determine the fumes involved and appropriate ventilation/filtering system.

Preparatory work
Follow the instructions below for preparatory work, before commencing the removal of the lower joint.
Step
1.
Action
Run actuators to half way in length. All the actuators should also have an equal length. This is done in order to allow the actuator to retract when the lower joint is unscrewed. Switch off the power supply. In a vertically orientated manipulator the center unit will tend to move away from the corner with the removed lower joint. It is therefor important to anchor the center tube to the surrounding equipment in order to avoid this. For manipulators in other orientations, try to anticipate the movement and secure accordingly.

- withstand any impact from a tool failure. Due to the high kinetic energy associated with HSM (High Speed Machining), a tool failure poses a serious risk as any debris can cause serious personal injury. Both walls and ceilings must be designed and dimensioned so that they can withstand any projectiles that they may be subjected to. Windows must be made from suitable safety glass. Study the planned process to determine the forces involved and appropriate materials. - insulate against sound pollution from the machining process. Typically the safety cell should be able to reduce sound from the machining process down to 75dBA, though individual installations may stipulate other values. Study the planned process to determine the allowable noise pollution levels and appropriate sound insulation. - isolate gases and mist generated by the machining process and spray mist lubrication. Study the planned process to determine the fumes involved and appropriate ventilation/filtering system.

Maintenance activities, manipulator
Chapter 3:Maintenance activities, manipulator

Introduction
Definitions
This chapter details all maintenance activities recommended for the manipulator. This chapter is made up of separate units, each detailing a specific maintenance activity. Each unit contains all the information required to perform the activity, e.g. spare parts numbers, required special tools and materials.
21

Maintenance intervals
Section A: Maintenance intervals Specification of maintenance intervals
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.

Maintenance schedule, IRB 940 Tricept
General
The robot, consisting of manipulator and controller cabinet, must be maintained regularly to ensure its function. The maintenance activities and their respective intervals are specified in the table below. Non-predictable situations also give rise to inspections of the robot. If damage is discovered, attend to it immediately!
Activities and intervals
The section referred to in the table can be found in the different chapters for every maintenance activity. The table below specifies the required maintenance activities and intervals:

The interval is based on utilization under normal operating conditions. Operation under severe conditions such as increased ambient temperature or the presence of abrasive or grease absorbent dust will require a more regular maintenance cycle.
23

Daily maintenance
Section B: Daily maintenance Daily maintenance, complete robot
General
The IRB 940 Tricept requires regular maintenance. It is therefore important to adhere to the following maintenance chart as well as applying the preventive maintenance schedules set out in any auxiliary equipment chapters. When maintaining the robot it is important to:
Clean the robot and its surrounding environment daily. Not to use compressed air in sections of the machinery which may suffer from chips or dust being blown into sensitive areas. Only use soft cloths when cleaning so as not to cause abrasions on the machine surfaces. Not to use any solvents that may have an abrasive or corrosive effect on the machine surfaces.
Daily maintenance
The daily maintenance of the robot and its surrounding environment includes:
Removing all chips and/or dust that result from the machining process. Performing checks on all safety related equipment such as safety switches and barriers. Checking for signs of damage or wear on all cables, hoses and other components that can lead to a safety risk or interrupted production in case of failure. Checking levels of all lubrication and cooling fluids on both the manipulator and auxiliary equipment. Checking that all media supplies, such as compressed air and water, maintain the correct pressures and flows.

Lubrication activities
Section C: Lubrication activities Lubrication, linear bearings
Location
The figure below shows the location of the grease lubrication nipple on the linear guide bearing. The other linear bearing is located on the other side of the center tube.

Lubrication
The procedure below details how to lubricate the linear bearings.

Please observe the following before commencing any repair work on the manipulator: - Some parts are HOT after running the robot, e.g. motors and lights! Burns may result from touching them! - Turn off all electrical power, hydraulic and pneumatic pressure supplies to the robot! - When replacing motors/reducers, make sure that those parts of the robot which could move unexpectedly are mechanically blocked as specified in the individual procedures. - Before lubrication, always clean lubrication interfaces to prevent contamination entering the lubrication system. - After lubrication, always clean any spillage around lubrication interfaces.
Step
1. 2.
Action
Clean the rails from old grease and dust.
Note/Illustration
Apply 4 ml lubricant through the nipple at the Shown in figure above! bottom end of the linear guide bearing. Lubricant specified Both sides must be lubricated! above! Note! The ends of the linear bearing are made from plastic and can crack if not sufficient care is taken when lubricating the bearings. Run the robot back and forth in the Z-direction several times. Apply a further 4 ml lubricant through the same nipples at both side of the center tube.
3. 4.

Lubrication, actuators
Location
The three actuators require lubrication with grease. There are four separate grease nipples for the lubrication on each actuator. The grease nipple that faces up is used so that as the grease is applied it falls onto the lead screw inside the actuator housing. The figure below shows the location of the grease lubrication nipples on the actuator.
xx0200000294

Lubrication
The procedure below details how to lubricate the actuators.

Please observe the following before commencing any repair work on the manipulator: - Some parts are HOT after running the robot, e.g. motors and lights! Burns may result from touching them! - Turn off all electrical power, hydraulic and pneumatic pressure supplies to the robot! - When replacing motors/reducers, make sure that those parts of the robot which could move unexpectedly are mechanically blocked as specified in the individual procedures. - Before lubrication, always clean lubrication interfaces to prevent contamination entering the lubrication system. - After lubrication, always clean any spillage around lubrication interfaces.
Step
1.
Action
Extend the actuators to their maximum allowable length. If a fixture or other work area restrictions affect the positioning of the robot, run it so that one of the actuators is extended, lubricate it and move on to the other two in turn. Apply 4 ml of lubricant to each actuator through the topmost grease nipple. Note! Ensure that the grease nipple that faces upwards is used, as any other orientated grease nipple will not ensure that the grease is applied to the lead screw correctly. Run the actuators through their whole stroke several times. Note! The actuators must be extended prior to lubrication in order to get the correct application onto the actuator screw. Lubricating a contracted actuator will not apply any grease on the screw threads. Apply a further 4 ml through the same grease nipple.
