IRT 510 Product manual scope The manual covers all variants and designs of the IRT 510. Some variants and designs may have been removed from the business offer and are no longer available for purchase.
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. CAUTION Risk of hot surfaces that can cause burns. A risk assessment must be done to address both robot and robot system specific hazards.
2.1 About IRT 510 Introduction The IRT 510 is a linear track motion which is driven by the OmniCore V line controllers and programmed using the FlexPendant. It supports to work with IRB 1520, IRB 1600, IRB 2600 and IRB 4600 by providing carriage tables to fit the robots on.
IP65 For mechanical parts and main electrical connections. Explosive environments The IRT 510 cannot be located or operated in an explosive environment. Requirements, foundation The table shows the requirements for the foundation where the weight of the installed robot is included.
Robot Within specification for respective robot. The track power consumption is measured on the condition of IRT 510 with a largest supported robot, that is, IRB 4600-60/2.05. The actual power consumption may vary according to the actual installed robot and site conditions.

For robot with extra plate, the external cable chain cannot exceed the end of the track. The total length of IRT 510 depends on the quantity of modules, each of which is 1,000 mm long. IRT 510 can be assembled with a minimum of 2 modules and a maximum of 110 modules.
2 Track description 2.4 Travel length 2.4 Travel length Overview The travel length of the IRT 510 varies according to the quantity of carriages and robots fitted on the track. Carriage quantity Robot quantity Travel length (m) Single carriage Robot 0.8 to 19.8 (in steps of 1 m)
Note If the IRT 510 is connected to power, always make sure that the IRT 510 is connected to protective earth and a residual current device (RCD) before starting any installation work. For more information see: •...
Always try to determine if the goods are as ordered, and that the package is not damaged before unpacking. The IRT 510 has been pre-assembled in ABB factory. For delivery and storage's convenience, it would be divided into several segments as an unit depending on the length of the track when delivered.

3 Installation and commissioning 3.2 Unpacking Continued Cleaning Before transportation, the IRT 510 has been protected against rust by a thin film of oil that has been applied before packing. Upon receiving the track, wipe off any surplus using a lint-free cloth. Note Do not clean any of the pre-lubricated linear guide and rack.
Read through the safety instructions carefully before lifting the track IRT 510. WARNING Never lift the track IRT 510 in segments longer than 9 m. If the track is longer than 9 m, the track has to be disassembled into smaller segments.

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.
