Product documentation, IRC5, OmniCore 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.

The service interval for the axis in question has been reached. Joint x N/A No service time parameter calculation available. Applies to axes 4 and 5 (IRB 6600 and IRB 7600). The following information is available for the axis service status in the service routine.
The values can be defined by the operating organization as knowledge of the robot's working conditions are accumulated. Since the counters are to be used for purposes defined by the user, ABB cannot give any recommendations regarding their definitions. Operation time limit (service level) The number of operation hours selected as service interval.
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 7600, report to your local ABB the serial number, the article number, and the revision of both the replaced unit and the replacement unit.

Page 378
Levelmeter calibration - alternative method Levelmeter calibration is referred to as the alternative method for calibration of ABB robots because of the less accurate values obtained during calibration. The method uses the same principles as Calibration Pendulum, but does not have as good of mechanical tolerances to the toolkit parts as the standard method with Calibration Pendulum.
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.

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.

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.
There is no risk for bad calibrations as long as the calibration tool is in one piece. WARNING Calibrating the robot with Axis Calibration requires special calibration tools from ABB.
