1.1.1 Introduction to Structure
Robot family
The IRB 2600 is ABB Robotics latest robot of the new sharp generation with
enhanced and new capabilities. It is available in seven versions, in which IRB
2600ID-15/1.85 and IRB 2600ID-8/2.00 are with a process upper arm. The design
has been optimized to make it superior for the targeted applications. The IRB 2600
will focus on further expansion in, Dispensing, Machining, Measuring, Assembly
and Arc Welding applications.
Operating system
The robot is equipped with the IRC5 controller and robot control software,
RobotWare. RobotWare supports every aspect of the robot system, such as motion
control, development and execution of application programs, communication etc.
See
Product specification - Controller IRC5 with FlexPendant .
Safety
Safety standards valid for complete robot, manipulator and controller.
Additional functionality
For additional functionality, the robot can be equipped with optional software for
application support - for example gluing and welding, communication features -
network communication - and advanced functions such as multi-tasking, sensor
control, etc. For a complete description on optional software, see
Product
specification - Controller software IRC5 .
Protection type Foundry Plus 2
Robots with the option Foundry Plus 2 are designed for harsh environments where
the robot is exposed to sprays of coolants, lubricants and metal spits that are
typical for die casting applications or other similar applications.
Typical applications are spraying insertion and part extraction of die-casting
machines, handling in sand casting and gravity casting, etc. (Please refer to Foundry
Prime robots for washing applications or other similar applications). Special care
must be taken in regard to operational and maintenance requirements for
applications in foundry are as well as in other applications areas. Please contact
ABB Robotics Sales organization if in doubt regarding specific application feasibility
for the Foundry Plus 2 protected robot.
The robot is painted with two-component epoxy on top of a primer for corrosion
protection. To further improve the corrosion protection additional rust preventive
are applied to exposed and crucial areas, e.g. has the tool flange a special
preventive coating. Although, continuous splashing of water or other similar rust
formation fluids may cause rust attach on the robots unpainted areas, joints, or
