WARNING
If the pressurized air contains oil, it could result in a brake failure in the motors
and cause the robot arms to fall down, leading to personal injury or physical
damage.
Note
To secure the supply of air pressure, use a pressure sensor.
Air quality for pressurizing of robot
The air must be dry and clean, such as instrument air. The following table describes
the air specifications.

Pressurizing equipment
ABB recommends a safety valve (if not included) set at 0.4 bar, pressure sensor
set at 0.2-0.3 bar or regulator set for maximum 0.3 bar to be attached on the
pressure side of the air system.
