Product documentation Categories for user documentation from ABB Robotics The user documentation from ABB Robotics is divided into a number of categories. This listing is based on the type of information in the documents, regardless of whether the products are standard or optional.
Limitation of liability Any information given in this manual regarding safety must not be construed as a warranty by ABB that the industrial robot will not cause injury or damage even if all safety instructions are complied with. The information does not cover how to design, install and operate a robot system, nor does it cover all peripheral equipment that can influence the safety of the robot system.
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.
2 Manipulator description About IRB 1510 IRB 1510 is a 6-axis industrial robot, designed specifically for manufacturing industries that use flexible robot-based automation. The robot has an open structure that is specially adapted for flexible use, and can communicate extensively with external systems.

It also contains information useful during later re-installation of the robot. Prerequisites for installation personnel Installation personnel working with an ABB product must: • be trained by ABB and have the required knowledge of mechanical and electrical installation/maintenance/repair work • conform to all national and local codes.
Note If the IRB 1510 is connected to power, always make sure that the IRB 1510 is connected to protective earth and a residual current device (RCD) before starting any maintenance work.

General To secure high uptime it is important that the IRB 1510 is cleaned regularly. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the product works. Different cleaning methods are allowed depending on the type of protection of the IRB 1510.
Repair activities not described in this chapter must only be carried out by ABB. Report replaced units Note When replacing a part on the IRB 1510, report to your local ABB the serial number, the article number, and the revision of both the replaced unit and the replacement unit.

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. If the robot has absolute accuracy calibration, it is also recommended, but not always necessary to calibrate for new absolute accuracy.

Two different routines are available for the Calibration Pendulum method: •...
7.2 Environmental information 7.2 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.
8.4 Screw joints 8.4 Screw joints General This section describes how to tighten the various types of screw joints on ABB robots. The instructions and torque values are valid for screw joints comprised of metallic materials and do not apply to soft or brittle materials.
All components exceeding 22 kg (50 lbs) are highlighted in this way. To avoid injury, ABB recommends the use of a lifting accessory when handling components with a weight exceeding 22 kg. A wide range of lifting accessories and devices are available for each manipulator model.
