IP67/66 protection
The robot has IP67 as an option. The option will add sealing, machining parts and
gasket.
Protection type Foundry Plus 2
Robots with the option Foundry Plus 2 are designed for harsh environments where
the robot is exposed to sprays of coolants, lubricants and metal spits that are
typical for die casting applications or other similar applications.
Typical applications are spraying insertion and part extraction of die-casting
machines, handling in sand casting and gravity casting, etc. (Please refer to Foundry
Prime robots for washing applications or other similar applications). Special care
must be taken in regard to operational and maintenance requirements for
applications in foundry are as well as in other applications areas. Please contact
ABB Robotics Sales organization if in doubt regarding specific application feasibility
for the Foundry Plus 2 protected robot.
The robot is painted with two-component epoxy on top of a primer for corrosion
protection. To further improve the corrosion protection additional rust preventive
are applied to exposed and crucial areas, e.g. has the tool flange a special
preventive coating. Although, continuous splashing of water or other similar rust
formation fluids may cause rust attach on the robots unpainted areas, joints, or
other unprotected surfaces. Under these circumstances it is recommended to add
rust inhibitor to the fluid or take other measures to prevent potential rust formation
on the mentioned.
The entire robot is IP67 compliant according to IEC 60529 - from base to wrist,
which means that the electrical compartments are sealed against water and solid
contaminants. Among other things all sensitive parts are better protected than the
standard offer.
Selected Foundry Plus 2 features:
The Foundry Plus 2 robot can be cleaned with appropriate washing equipment
according to the robot product manual. Appropriate cleaning and maintenance is
required to maintain the protection, for example can rust preventive be washed off
with wrong cleaning method.
Available robot versions
The option Foundry Plus 2 might not be available for all robot versions.
