3.2 Introduction for Foundry Prime robots
Introduction
The Foundry Prime robots are designed for installation and operation in very hard
environments. Misuse of the robots, as well as poor installation, cleaning,
maintenance, and repair can be harmful for the functioning of the robot.
To eliminate these risks appropriate equipment and procedures are required when
installing, cleaning, maintaining, and repairing ABB Foundry Prime robots.
An extended maintenance program including service activities and schedule is
required.
Cleaning and maintenance of robots with Foundry Prime protection shall be
performed by trained personnel.
Specific maintenance activities and intervals for Foundry Prime
The Foundry Prime robots have specific maintenance activities and intervals
compared to standard robots:
• More comprehensive
• More frequent
• Sample activities for check of lubrication
• Conditional - for example, water content in gearbox control/decide
replacement intervals
Preventive measures every 6 months secure the uptime of the robot:
• Inspection of oil level in gearboxes
• Surface treatment
• Cable harness
• Balancing device
Activity to lubricate gearboxes cavities and gears
Run each axis on high speed at least one occasion per hour. This activity will
lubricate the gearbox cavities and gears, which reduce the risk for corrosion due
to condensation in gearboxes.
Non-predictable situations
Non-predictable situations can give rise to inspections of the robot. Any damages
must be attended to immediately!
Note
Repair damages on painted surfaces as soon as possible. Use the touch-up kit
3HAC035355-001 for Foundry Prime protection.
Warranty claims
Warranty claims for defect products due to misuse or failure to fulfil operational
and maintenance requirements will not be approved.
