2.7.1 Installation of IRB 4400 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.
Commissioning
Environmental conditions
Humidity
Washing detergent with pH
Washing detergent must contain rust inhibitor and
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.

Note
For best reliability, it is also of highest importance that the special maintenance
instructions for the Foundry Prime robot are followed and documented.
• 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.
WARNING
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.
