1.1 Structure

 A new world of possibilities opens up with ABB’s new Power Robot family. It comesin three versions, 500 kg, 400 kg, and 150 kg handling capacities.The IRB 7600 is ideal for heavy-weight applications, regardless of industry. Typicalareas can be handling of heavy fixtures, turning car bodies, lifting engines, handlingheavy parts, loading and unloading of machine cells, alternatively handling large andheavy pallet layers.There is more to this benchmark product than sheer power. We have added a range ofsoftware products - all falling under the umbrella designation of Active Safety - toprotect not only personnel in the unlikely event of an accident, but also the robot itself.When handling payloads of 500 kg, it is clear that safety features are vital in protectingthe new investment.There are a large number of process options for spot welding and material handlingintegrated in the robot. For a complete description of process options for spot weldingsee the Product Specification SpotPack.The robot is equipped with the operating system BaseWare OS. BaseWare OS controlsevery aspect of the robot, like motion control, development and execution ofapplication programs, communication etc. See Product Specification S4Cplus.For additional functionality, the robot can be equipped with optional software forapplication support - for example spot welding, communication features - networkcommunication - and advanced functions such as multi-tasking, sensor control, etc.For a complete description on optional software, see the Product SpecificationRobotWare Options.

1.2 Advantages

• Reliable – High production up time
• Security - A safe investment
• Fast – Short cycle times
• Accurate – Consistent parts quality
• Strong – Maximized utilization
• Robust – Harsh production environment
• Versatile – Flexible integration and production

1.3 Installation

All versions of IRB 7600 are designed for floor mounting. Depending on the robotversion, an end effector with max. weight of 150 to 500 kg including payload, can bemounted on the mounting flange (axis 6). See Load diagrams for IRB 7600 generationrobots from page 16 to page 21.Extra loads (valve packages, transformers) can be mounted on the upper arm with amaximum weight of 50 kg. On all versions an extra load of 500 kg can also be mountedon the frame of axis 1. Holes for mounting extra equipment on page 24.The working range of axes 1-3 can be limited by mechanical stops. Position switchescan be supplied on axes 1-3 for position indication of the manipulator.

External Mains Transformer

The robot system requires a 475 VAC power supply. Therefore an external transformerwill be included when a mains voltage other than 475V is selected. 

1.4 Maintenance and troubleshooting 

 Introduction

General

The robot requires onlya minimum of maintenance during operation. It is designedto make it as easy to service as possible:• Maintenance-free AC motors are used• Liquid grease or oil is used for the gear boxes• The cabling is routed for longevity, and in the unlikely event of a failure, itsmodular design makes it easy to change

Maintenance

The maintenance intervals depend on the use of the robot, the required maintenanceactivitiesalso depends on selected options. For detailed information on maintenanceprocedures, see Maintenance section in the Product Manual.
