Repair personnel. Prerequisites Maintenance/repair/installation personnel working with an ABB Robot must be trained by ABB and have the required knowledge of mechanical and electrical installation/repair/maintenance work. Product manual scope The manual covers covers all variants and designs of the motor units and gear units.
The installation and/or use of non-original spare parts and equipment can negatively affect the safety, function, performance, and structural properties of the robot. ABB is not liable for damages caused by the use of non-original spare parts and equipment.
The manipulator can move unexpectedly at any time. DANGER Troubleshooting on the controller while powered on must be performed by personnel trained by ABB or by ABB field engineers. A risk assessment must be done to address both robot and robot system specific hazards.

Recommendations for MID units The station interchange units have endless rotation and are delivered without a locking mechanism. ABB recommends using a pneumatic, externally operated locking pin for locking, to reduce the risk of collision with the end stop. This also relieves the pressure on the station interchange unit.

Make sure not to press on the resolver. Note This method is not applicable for MU 80 since it does not have a connection box and the back cover of the motor is not allowed to be opened. Continues on next page...
6 Tuning the thermal supervision Thermal supervision The motor units (except MU 80 and MU 100) and the gear units are protected from overload by a thermal supervision. If the motor temperature is close to the defined maximum temperature then the system shows a warning. If the maximum temperature is exceeded then the unit will stop.
Never point the water jet at connectors, joints, sealings, or gaskets. • Do not use compressed air to clean the robot. • Never use solvents that are not approved by ABB to clean the robot. • Do not spray from a distance closer than 0.4 m. •...
Motor connection box The motor connection box can be opened to replace equipment. Note MU 80 does not have a connection box. Note When assembling the connection box to the motor or the top cover to the connection box, make sure that the o-ring is in the groove.
9.2 Environmental information 9.2 Environmental information Introduction ABB robots contain components in different materials. During decommissioning, all materials should be dismantled, recycled, or reused responsibly, according to the relevant laws and industrial standards. Robots or parts that can be reused or upcycled helps to reduce the usage of natural resources.
