Setting The System Parameters For A Suspended Or Tilted Robot - ABB IRB 2600ID Product Manual

2.3.3 Setting the system parameters for a suspended or tilted robot

General
The robot is configured for mounting parallel to the floor, without tilting, on delivery.
If the robot is mounted in any other angle than 0°, then the system parameters
that describe the mounting angle (how the robot is oriented relative to the gravity)
must be re-defined.
System parameters
Gravity Beta
If the robot is mounted upside down or on a wall (rotated around the y-axis), then
the robot base frame and the system parameter Gravity Beta must be redefined.
Gravity Beta should then be π (+3.141593) if the robot is mounted upside down
(suspended), or ±π/2 (±1.570796) if mounted on a wall.
The Gravity Beta is a positive rotation direction around the y-axis in the base
coordinate system. The value is set in radians.

2.3.3 Setting the system parameters for a suspended or tilted robot
Note
With inverted installation, make sure that the gantry or corresponding structure
is rigid enough to prevent unacceptable vibrations and deflections, so that
optimum performance can be achieved.
Note
The mounting positions are described in
the requirements on the foundation are described in
on page 47.
Note
IRB 2600-20/1.65 type C, IRB 2600-12/1.65 type C is not available for suspended
installation.
Note
The mounting angle must be configured correctly in the system parameters so
that the robot system can control the movements in the best possible way. An
incorrect definition of the mounting angle will result in:
• Overloading the mechanical structure.
• Lower path performance and path accuracy.
• Some functions will not work properly, for example Load Identification and
Collision detection.
