Action
Check the operating cycle of the robot, to
make sure the movement pattern of the
wrist does not cause extensive wear or
strain of the cable package.
Large rotating movements of the upper arm
(axes 4 and 6 combined) may cause twist-
ing of the DressPack.
Make sure the upper arm protective hose
does not get flattened during rotating upper
arm movements.
Make sure no combined rotating move-
ments of axes 5 and 6 causes collisions
between the cables/hoses or the process
cable support axis 6 and the upper arm.
Such movements may also cause excess-
ive bending of cables or hoses.
Valid for IRBDP MH2 UE, IRBDP SW2 UE
& IRBDP SW2 CE.
Make sure that the movements of the ten-
sion arm are smooth and do not jerk the
cable package.
Valid for IRBDP SW5 CE
Make sure all movements at the adjustable
bracket with ball joint housings and grip-
ping clamp are smooth and do not jerk the
process cable package.
IRB 7600 only:
Make sure the process cable package does
not rub against the sides of the wrist more
than absolutely necessary.
If any of the actions recommended above,
cause you to change the DressPack install-
ation, it must be reinspected.

Note
If required, re-program the robot move-
ment pattern!
When programming such movements, we
recommend that the rotating movement
of axis 6 is ordered before that of axis 4.
This reduces the risk of damaging the
DressPack upper arm.
Flattening indicates an overstressed hose
and increases the risk of damaging the
DressPack upper arm.
Collisions and excessive bending will in-
crease the risk of damaging the equip-
ment.
Minimum bending radius: 10 x cable/hose
diameter.
