If the flange surfaces are defective, the parts may not be used because leakage could occur. Clean the surfaces properly in accordance with the recommendations of ABB. Distribute the sealing compound evenly over the surface, preferably with a brush. Tighten the screws evenly when fastening the flange joint.

Term Definition Calibration method A collective term for several methods that might be available for calibrating the ABB robot. Each method contains calibration routines. Synchronization position Known position of the complete robot where the angle of each axis can be checked against visual synchronization marks.
Page 354
Information about valid calibration method is found on the calibration label or in the calibration menu on the FlexPendant. If no data is found related to standard calibration, contact the local ABB Service. Brief description of calibration methods Calibration Pendulum method Calibration Pendulum is a standard calibration method for calibration of many of ABB robots (except IRB 6400R, IRB 640, IRB 1400H, and IRB 4400S).

The resolver values are changed If resolver values are changed, the robot must be re-calibrated using the calibration methods supplied by ABB. Calibrate the robot carefully with standard calibration, according to information in this manual. The resolver values will change when parts affecting the calibration position are replaced on the robot, for example motors or parts of the transmission.

FlexPendant. WARNING Calibrating the robot with Axis Calibration requires special calibration tools from ABB. Using other pins in the calibration bushings may cause severe damage to the robot and/or personnel. WARNING The calibration tool must be fully inserted into the calibration bushing, until the steel spring ring snaps into place.
Page 365
A benefit with reference calibration is that the current state of the robot is stored and not the state when the robot left the ABB factory. The reference value will be named according to tool name, date etc.

It is possible to make the calibration tool identifiable with, for example, an RFID chip. The procedure of how to install an RFID chip is described below. Note The tool identifier is NOT delivered from ABB, it is a customized solution. Action Note It is possible to use any RFID solution, with the correct dimensions.

6.2 Environmental information 6.2 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.
