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.
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.
Note If the IRB 660 is connected to power, always make sure that the robot is connected to protective earth and a residual current device (RCD) before starting any installation work. For more information see: •...
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.

10 kg. Max. extra weight on the upper arm: • IRB 660 - 180/3.15 = 35 kg • IRB 660 - 250/3.15 = 35 kg Note! The weight of the extra equipment on the upper arm must be deducted from the maximal handling capacity.
The position switch sets may be delivered in one of two ways: • Fitted by ABB on delivery. In this case, the cams must still be fitted and locked by the user. For axis 1, the cover for the cams must also be fitted.
Note If the IRB 660 is connected to power, always make sure that the IRB 660 is connected to protective earth and a residual current device (RCD) before starting any maintenance work. For more information see: •...
40000 hours. ABB Connected Services and its Assessment tools can help you to identify the real stress level of your robot, and define the optimal ABB support to maintain your robot working. Contact your local ABB Customer Service to get more information.
5 is not calculated by SIS (See the Operating manual - Service Information System). In some applications, such as Foundry or Washing, the robot can be exposed to chemicals, high temperature or humidity, which can have an effect on the lifetime of the gearboxes. Contact the local ABB Robotics Service team for more information.

Cleaning with water and steam Instructions for rinsing with water ABB robots with protection types Standard, Foundry Plus, Wash, or Foundry Prime can be cleaned by rinsing with water (water cleaner). The following list defines the prerequisites: •...
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 660, report to your local ABB the serial number, the article number, and the revision of both the replaced unit and the replacement unit.

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.
For spare part no. O-rings are not included! see: Spare part lists on page 353. O-ring 3HAB3772-65 (1pc) For robot v. IRB 660 180/3.15, 250/3.15 Wrist, type 1 21520431-20 (6 pcs) Must be replaced when replacing the turning disk! Grease 3HAC042536-001 Shell Gadus S2 Used to lubricate the o-rings.
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.
Axis Calibration method Axis Calibration is a standard calibration method for calibration of IRB 660 and is the most accurate method for the standard calibration. It is the recommended method in order to achieve proper performance.
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 316
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. Using other pins in the calibration bushings may cause severe damage to the robot and/or personnel. Equipment, etc. Article number...

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.
WARNING Calibrating the robot with Axis Calibration requires special calibration tools from ABB. Using other pins in the calibration holes may cause severe damage to the robot and/or personnel. Equipment, etc.
7.4 Screw joints 7.4 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.
