Description
8 Product Specification IRB 6600 M2000
The lower arm is shaped inward, giving more space under the upper arm to re-orientate
large parts and leaving more working space while reaching over equipment in front of
the robot.
The rear side of the upper arm is compact, with no components projecting over the edge
of the robot base even when the robot is moved into the home position.
Moveable mechanical limitation of main axes (option)
All main axes can be equipped with moveable mechanical stops, limiting the working
range of every axis individually. The mechanical stops are designed to withstand a
collision even under full load.
Position switches on main axes (option)
All main axes can be equipped with position switches. The double circuitry to the cam
switches is designed to offer personal safety according to the respective standards.
The Internal Safety Concept
The internal safety concept of the Process Robot Generation is based on a two-channel
circuit that is monitored continuously. If any component fails, the electrical power
supplied to the motors shuts off and the brakes engage.
Safety category 3
Malfunction of a single component, such as a sticking relay, will be detected at the next
MOTOR OFF/MOTOR ON operation. MOTOR ON is then prevented and the faulty
section is indicated. This complies with category 3 of EN 954-1, Safety of machinery -
safety related parts of control systems - Part 1.
Selecting the operating mode
The robot can be operated either manually or automatically. In manual mode, the robot
can only be operated via the teach pendant, i.e. not by any external equipment.
Reduced speed
In manual mode, the speed is limited to a maximum of 250 mm/s (600 inch/min.).
The speed limitation applies not only to the TCP (Tool Centre Point), but to all parts of
the robot. It is also possible to monitor the speed of equipment mounted on the robot.
Three position enabling device
The enabling device on the teach pendant must be used to move the robot when in
manual mode. The enabling device consists of a switch with three positions, meaning
that all robot movements stop when either the enabling device is pushed fully in, or when
it is released completely. This makes the robot safer to operate.
Safe manual movement
The robot is moved using a joystick instead of the operator having to look at the teach
pendant to find the right key.
Emergency stop
There is one emergency stop push button on the controller and another on the teach
pendant. Additional emergency stop buttons can be connected to the robot’s safety chain
circuit.
Safeguarded space stop
The robot has a number of electrical inputs which can be used to connect external safety
equipment, such as safety gates and light curtains. This allows the robot’s safety
functions to be activated both by peripheral equipment and by the robot itself.
