2.2 Unpacking
2.2.1. Pre-installation procedure
General
These instructions are to be used when unpacking and installing the robot for the first time.
They also contain information useful later during re-installation of the robot.
Checking the pre-requisites for installation
The check-list below details what must be observed before proceeding with the actual
installation of the robot:
1. Make sure only qualified installation personnel conforming to all national and local codes
are allowed to perform the installation.
2. Make sure the robot is not damaged, by visually inspecting the robot and control cabinet
exterior.
3. Make sure the lifting device to be used is dimensioned to handle the weight of the robot
as specified in Weight, robot on page 38.
4. If the robot is not to be installed directly, it must be stored as described in Storage
conditions, robot on page 41.
5. Make sure the expected operating environment of the robot conforms to the specifications
as described in Operating conditions, robot on page 41.
6. Before taking the robot to the installation site, make sure the site conforms to Loads on
foundation, robot - all versions except IRB 4400/S and 4450S on page 39 and Protection
classes on page 41.
7. When the robot is not fastened to the floor and standing still, the robot is not stable in the
work area. Care must be taken when the arms are moved, so that the center of gravity is
not displaced which may cause the robot to tip over.
8. When these prerequisites are met, the robot may be taken to its installation site as
described in section On-site installation on page 48.
