1.1.1 Introduction

1 Description
1.1 Structure

1.1.1 Introduction

General
IRB 140 is a 6-axis industrial robot, with a payload of 6 kg, 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.

Protection type Foundry Plus 2

Robots with the option Foundry Plus 2 are designed for harsh environments where
the robot is exposed to sprays of coolants, lubricants and metal spits that are
typical for die casting applications or other similar applications.
Typical applications are spraying insertion and part extraction of die-casting
machines, handling in sand casting and gravity casting, etc. (Please refer to Foundry
Prime robots for washing applications or other similar applications). Special care
must be taken in regard to operational and maintenance requirements for
applications in foundry are as well as in other applications areas. Please contact
ABB Robotics Sales organization if in doubt regarding specific application feasibility
for the Foundry Plus 2 protected robot.
The robot is painted with two-component epoxy on top of a primer for corrosion
protection. To further improve the corrosion protection additional rust preventive
are applied to exposed and crucial areas, e.g. has the tool flange a special
preventive coating. Although, continuous splashing of water or other similar rust
formation fluids may cause rust attach on the robots unpainted areas, joints, or
other unprotected surfaces. Under these circumstances it is recommended to add
rust inhibitor to the fluid or take other measures to prevent potential rust formation
on the mentioned.
The entire robot is IP67 compliant according to IEC 60529 - from base to wrist,
which means that the electrical compartments are sealed against water and solid
contaminants. Among other things all sensitive parts are better protected than the
standard offer.
Selected Foundry Plus 2 features:
Improved sealing to prevent penetration into cavities to secure IP67
Additional protection of cabling and electronics
Special covers that protect cavities
Well-proven connectors
Nickel coated tool flange
Rust preventives on screws, washers and unpainted/machined surfaces
Extended service and maintenance program

1.1.1 Introduction
Continued

The Foundry Plus 2 robot can be cleaned with appropriate washing equipment
according to the robot product manual. Appropriate cleaning and maintenance is
required to maintain the protection, for example can rust preventive be washed off
with wrong cleaning method.

Available robot versions

The option Foundry Plus 2 might not be available for all robot versions.
See Specification of variants and options on page 39 for robot versions and other
options not selectable together with Foundry Plus 2.

Protection type Clean Room

Robots with the option Clean Room are classified for clean room class 6 according
to ISO 14644-1.
The Clean Room robots are protected with a paint appropriate for clean room
applications. The paint has been tested regarding outgassing of Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOC) and been classified in accordance with ISO 14644-8.
Classification of airborne molecular contamination, see below:

Classification results in accordance with ISO 14644-8 at different test temperatures.

See Specification of variants and options on page 39 for options that are not
selectable together with the option Clean Room.

Operating system
The robot is equipped with the IRC5 controller and robot control software,
RobotWare. RobotWare supports every aspect of the robot system, such as motion
control, development and execution of application programs, communication etc.
See Product specification - Controller software IRC5, and Product
specification - Controller IRC5 with FlexPendant.

Safety
Safety standards valid for complete robot, manipulator and controller.

Additional functionality
For additional functionality, the robot can be equipped with optional software for
application support - for example gluing and welding, communication features -
network communication - and advanced functions such as multitasking, sensor
control etc. For a complete description on optional software. See Product
specification - Controller software IRC5.

1.4.1 Introduction

Information

WARNING

It is very important to always define correct actual load data and correct payload
of the robot. Incorrect definitions of load data can result in overloading of the
robot.
If incorrect load data and/or loads are outside load diagram is used the following
parts can be damaged due to overload:
motors
gearboxes
mechanical structure

WARNING

In the robot system there is a service routine called LoadIdentify available, which
allows the user to make an automatic definition of the tool and load, to determine
correct load parameters. See Operating manual - IRC5 with FlexPendant.

WARNING

Robots running with incorrect load data and/or with loads outside diagram, will
not be covered by robot warranty.

General
The load diagram includes a nominal pay load inertia, J0 of 0.012 kgm 2 . At different
moment of inertia the load diagram will be changed.

Control of load case by "RobotLoad"

For an easy check of a specific load case, use the calculation program ABB
RobotLoad. Please contact your local ABB organization.

1.6.2 Absolute Accuracy calibration

1.6.2 Absolute Accuracy calibration

General
Requires RobotWare option Absolute Accuracy, see Product
specification - Controller software IRC5 for details.

The calibration concept

Absolute Accuracy (AbsAcc) is a calibration concept, which ensures a TCP absolute
accuracy of better than 1 mm in the entire working range.
Absolute accuracy compensates for:
Mechanical tolerances in the robot structure
Deflection due to load
Absolute accuracy calibration is focusing on positioning accuracy in the cartesian
coordinate system for the robot. It also includes load compensation for deflection
caused by the tool and equipment. Tool data from robot program is used for this
purpose. The positioning will be within specified performance regardless of load.

Calibration data
The user is supplied with robot calibration data (compensation parameters saved
on the manipulator SMB) and a certificate that shows the performance (Birth
certificate). The difference between an ideal robot and a real robot without AbsAcc
may reach up to 8 mm, resulting from mechanical tolerances and deflection in the
robot structure.
If there is a difference, at first start-up, between calibration data in controller and
the robot SMB, correct by copying data from SMB to controller.

Absolute Accuracy option

The option Absolute Accuracy is integrated in the controller algorithms for
compensation of this difference and does not need external equipment or
calculation.
Absolute Accuracy is a RobotWare option and includes an individual calibration
of the robot (mechanical arm).

1.8.2 Performance according to ISO 9283

General
At rated maximum load, maximum offset and 1.6 m/s velocity on the inclined ISO
test plane, with all six axes in motion. Values in the table below are the average
result of measurements on a small number of robots. The result may differ
depending on where in the working range the robot is positioning, velocity, arm
configuration, from which direction the position is approached, the load direction
of the arm system. Backlashes in gearboxes also affect the result.
The figures for AP, RP, AT and RT are measured according to figure below.

1-phase power supply

When the robot uses a single phase power supply, like with IRC5 Compact
controller, the performance regarding max axis speed is reduced, see table below.
The reduced top speed can be increased if the power supply minimum voltage is
higher than the default setting 187 V (220x0.85). See the system parameter Mains
tolerance min, in Technical reference manual - System parameters.
Note that the robot acceleration is not affected by the single phase power supply.
Thus the cycle time may not be affected at all. RobotStudio can be used to test
the cycle. The parameter Mains tolerance min can also be modified in RobotStudio.

1.8.5 Signals

Signal connections on robot arm

To connect 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
(R1/4) at the base and an outlet (R1/4) on the upper arm housing.
Description Number Values
Signals 12 49 V, 500 mA
Air 1 Max. 8 bar, inner hose diameter 6.5 mm
