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.

15 m 3HAC067449-003 It is recommended to always use the CP/CS cable provided by ABB. If users still require to do wiring by their own, make sure to use R1.C1 connector in M12 A-code 12p female type. It is the responsibility of the users to guarantee the safety of the system when self-prepared cables and connectors are used.
Note If the IRB 910INV is connected to power, always make sure that the IRB 910INV is connected to protective earth and a residual current device (RCD) before starting any maintenance work.
Such information of the ball screw spline unit of the IRB 910INV is reported as axis 3 in the SIS system. When a service message is reported for axis 3 of the IRB 910INV, an inspection on the ball screw spline unit is required.
4.3.1 Specification of maintenance intervals Introduction The intervals are specified in different ways depending on the type of maintenance activity to be carried out and the working conditions of the IRB 910INV: • Calendar time: specified in months regardless of whether the system is running or not.
4.4.1 Cleaning the IRB 910INV General To secure high uptime it is important that the IRB 910INV is cleaned regularly. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the manipulator works. Different cleaning methods are allowed depending on the type of protection of the IRB 910INV.

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.
Brief description of calibration methods Axis Calibration method Axis Calibration is a standard calibration method for calibration of IRB 910INV. It is the recommended method in order to achieve proper performance. The following routines are available for the Axis Calibration method: •...
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.

Clean Room/ IP54 xx1900001711 The three points need to be aligned. Axis 2 rotate -30° for IRB 910INV-3/0.35 Axis 2 rotate -25° for IRB 910INV-6/0.55 For robots with protection class IP54 and protection type Clean Room Make sure the opening gap on the lower mechanical stopper is aligned with the notch on the outer arm cover, and the convex edge surface on the mechanical stopper is aligned with the lowest surface on the outer arm cover.
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.
Required if Axis Calibration is the valid calib- ration method for the robot. The robot is calibrated by either manual calibration or Axis Calibration at ABB factory before delivery. Always use the same calibration method as used at the factory.

When doing this, pay attention to robot pose in order to avoid arm collision. Release the brakes (for IRB 910INV-6/0.55 only) and manually rotate axis 4 until the opening gap or the ball screw origin point on the lower mech- anical stopper is aligned with the notch on the outer arm cover.
8.2 Environmental information 8.2 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.
