Installation and Commissioning

RepairsGeneral Description1 General DescriptionThe industrial robot system comprises two separate units: the control cabinet and themanipulator. The IRB 1400 is also available in a suspended version, IRB 1400H.Servicing the mechanical unit is described in the following sections.Servicing the manipulator is described in this manual.When service on the IRB1400H is contemplated, a decision must be made in each particularcase whether the work can be carried out with the manipulator suspended orwhether it must be removed and the work done on the floor.Lifting and turning the manipulator is described in the Chapter entitled, Installation andcommissioning.When servicing the manipulator, it is helpful to service the following parts separately:• The Electrical System• The Motor Units• The Mechanical SystemThe Electrical System is routed through the entire manipulator and is made up of twomain cabling systems: the power cabling and signal cabling. The power cabling feedsthe motor units of the manipulator axes. The signal cabling feeds the various controlparameters, such as axis positions, motor revs, etc.The AC Motor Units provide the motive power for the various manipulator axes bymeans of gears. Mechanical brakes, electrically released, lock the motor units when therobot is inoperative for more than 3 minutes during both automatic and manual operation.The manipulator has 6 axes which makes its movements very flexible.Product Manual IRB 1400 3
