Expected Lifetime Of The Integrated Dresspack Cable Package - ABB DressPack IRB 6700 Product Manual

2.9 Expected lifetime of the integrated DressPack cable package

General
The expected lifetime of the integrated DressPack cable package is dependent of
the actual robot cycle. For the robot upper arm (axes 4, 5, and 6) the combination
of the robot axes gives influence on lifetime. Below are recommendations for
programming given as well as expected lifetime based on long term tests as well
as normal spot welding application cycles.
Expected life time
If the robot cycle is done according to the recommendations above, a lifetime could
be expected for a normal spot welding cycle in two shift production, as shown in
the table.
4 years
2 years
More than 6 years
Recommendations for programming
In extreme situations the DressPack cable package can interfere with itself, or with
the robot it is fitted on. Avoid rotation of axis-4 when axis-2 is in its lowest position,
to avoid wear of the wrist protection hose around the wrist and at the axis-2 gearbox.
If this cannot be avoided, it is recommended to add extra protective sleeves.
To avoid interference between the DressPack cable package routed over the
balancing device and where the DressPack exits axis-4, bending backward of axis-3
shall not occur when axis-2 is bent to its far back position.
