Additional Installation (Foundry Prime); Installation Of Irb4400 In A Water Jet Application - ABB IRB 4400 - 45 Product Manual

2.6 Additional installation (Foundry Prime)

2.6.1. Installation of IRB4400 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.
For best reliability, it is also of highest importance that the special maintenance instructions
for the Foundry Prime robot are followed and documented.
Commissioning
Environmental conditions
Humidity
Washing detergent with pH
Washing detergent must be approved by ABB.
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.
Dew point
Solid particle size
Oil content
Pressure to robot
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.
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.
To secure sufficient air pressure, it is recommended to use a pressure sensor.
3HAC022032-001 Revision: E
• 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.
