Risk Of Tipping/Stability - ABB IRB 2600 Series Product Manual

2.2.3 Risk of tipping/stability

Risk of tipping
If the robot is not fastened to the foundation while moving the arm, the robot is not
stable in the whole working area. Moving the arm will displace the center of gravity,
which may cause the robot to tip over.
The shipping position is the most stable position.
Do not change the robot position before securing it to the foundation!
Shipping and transportation position
This figure shows the robot in its shipping position and transportation position.
The figure shows IRB 2600 but is also valid for IRB 2600ID. Best position of IRB
2600ID axis 4 is ±90°.
The position where part of the lower arm (A) is beginning to show in the hole, is
approximate.
