Except as may be expressly stated anywhere in this manual, nothing herein shall be construed as any kind of guarantee or warranty by ABB for losses, damage to persons or property, fitness for a specific purpose or the like.
Prerequisites Maintenance/repair/installation personnel working with an ABB Robot must: • be trained by ABB and have the required knowledge of mechanical and electrical installation/repair/maintenance work. Product manual scope The manual covers covers all variants and designs of the IRB 6700Inv. 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.
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.
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.
Transportation in any other way can seriously damage the robot. If the robot is incorrectly transported and the instructions are not followed, the robot is not covered by the warranty and ABB will not accept any compensation claim. Method 1 - recommended method Transportation according to method 1 is strongly recommended by ABB.
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.

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.
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.

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.
