2.4.6 Installation requirements for Foundry Prime robots
Introduction
Robots with protection type Foundry Prime are specially designed to work in harsh
environments. To ensure that the protection offers the best reliability, special
measures are required during installation and operation. It is required that the
environmental and application conditions are fulfilled and that the special
maintenance activities and intervals for the Foundry Prime protected robot are
followed.
The motors, the balancing device, and the serial measurement board cavity must
be pressurized on Foundry Prime robots during operation and shut down. The
overpressure can be dropped when the motors have the same temperature as the
surrounding environment.
Precautionary measures
Make sure that the Foundry Prime coating of the robot is not broken during testing,
installation, or repair work. Use the touch up kit available for Foundry Prime 3
(article number 3HAC064578-001) to repair any damages in the coating.
Activity to lubricate gearboxes cavities and gears
Run each axis on high speed at least once per hour. This activity will lubricate the
gearbox cavities and gears, which reduces the risk for corrosion due to
condensation in the gearboxes.
