1.1 Structure
1.1.1 Introduction to structure
General
The IRB 1200 is one of ABB Robotics latest generation of 6-axis industrial robot,
with a payload of 5 to 7 kg, designed specifically for manufacturing industries that
use flexible robot-based automation, e.g. 3C industry. The robot has an open
structure that is especially adapted for flexible use, and can communicate
extensively with external systems.
Type A of IRB 1200
Type A - Axis Calibration
The difference between IRB 1200 and IRB 1200 Type A is that the Type A is
calibrated with Axis Calibration. On each axis there are bushings for installation
of calibration tools.
As a result of this, the castings differ between IRB 1200 and IRB 1200 Type A.
Note
IRB 1200 Type B is designed based on IRB 1200 Type A so that Type B has the
bushings for installation of calibration tools too.
The difference between IRB 1200 Type A and IRB 1200 Type B is that Type B
also supports SafeMove 2. See Type B of IRB 1200 on page 9.
How to know which type the robot is?
The type label on the base of the robot tells if the robot is calibrated with Axis
Calibration.
Those robots are named IRB 1200 Type A.
Note
If no type label attached on the robot, use the bushings on each axis to identify
a robot calibrated with Axis Calibration.
Those robots which are not equipped for Axis Calibration are simply named IRB
1200 (no type specified).
Type B of IRB 1200
Type B - SafeMove 2
The difference between IRB 1200 Type B and other IRB 1200 versions is that the
Type B supports SafeMove 2.
As a result of this, the following parts differ from other versions:
• Base

• Motor with pulley, axis 4 and axis 5
• Manipulator cable harness
• Battery pack
• SMB unit (replacing EIB unit)
IRB 1200 Type B is designed based on IRB 1200 Type A so that Type B has the
bushings for installation of calibration tools too.
How to know which type the robot is?
The type label on the base of the robot tells if the robot supports SafeMove 2.
Those robots are named IRB 1200 Type B.
Clean room robots
xx1100000959
Particle emission from the robot fulfill Clean room class 3 standard according to
DIN EN ISO 14644-1.
Clean room robots are specially designed to work in a clean room environment.
According to IPA test result, the robot IRB 1200 is suitable for use in clean room
environments.
Clean room robots are designed in order to prevent from particle emission from
the robot. For example is, frequent maintenance work possible to perform without
cracking the paint. The robot is painted with four layers of polyurethane paint. The
last layer being a varnish over labels in order to simplify cleaning. The paint has
been tested regarding outgassing of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and been
classified in accordance with ISO 14644-8.

Food grade lubrication
The robot has food grade lubrication (NSF H1) as an option (777-1). The protection
type for robots with food grade lubrication is Clean Room and IP67.

IP67/66 protection
The robot has IP67 as an option. The option will add sealing, machining parts and
gasket.
Protection type Foundry Plus 2
Robots with the option Foundry Plus 2 are designed for harsh environments where
the robot is exposed to sprays of coolants, lubricants and metal spits that are
typical for die casting applications or other similar applications.
Typical applications are spraying insertion and part extraction of die-casting
machines, handling in sand casting and gravity casting, etc. (Please refer to Foundry
Prime robots for washing applications or other similar applications). Special care
must be taken in regard to operational and maintenance requirements for
applications in foundry are as well as in other applications areas. Please contact
ABB Robotics Sales organization if in doubt regarding specific application feasibility
for the Foundry Plus 2 protected robot.
The robot is painted with two-component epoxy on top of a primer for corrosion
protection. To further improve the corrosion protection additional rust preventive
are applied to exposed and crucial areas, e.g. has the tool flange a special
preventive coating. Although, continuous splashing of water or other similar rust
formation fluids may cause rust attach on the robots unpainted areas, joints, or
other unprotected surfaces. Under these circumstances it is recommended to add
rust inhibitor to the fluid or take other measures to prevent potential rust formation
on the mentioned.
The entire robot is IP67 compliant according to IEC 60529 - from base to wrist,
which means that the electrical compartments are sealed against water and solid
contaminants. Among other things all sensitive parts are better protected than the
standard offer.
Selected Foundry Plus 2 features:
• Improved sealing to prevent penetration into cavities to secure IP67
• Additional protection of cabling and electronics
• Special covers that protect cavities
• Well-proven connectors
• Black chrome coated tool flange
• Rust preventives on screws, washers and unpainted/machined surfaces
• Extended service and maintenance program
The Foundry Plus 2 robot can be cleaned with appropriate washing equipment
according to the robot product manual. Appropriate cleaning and maintenance is
required to maintain the protection, for example can rust preventive be washed off
with wrong cleaning method.
Available robot versions
The option Foundry Plus 2 might not be available for all robot versions.
See Specification of variants and options on page 53 for robot versions and other
options not selectable together with Foundry Plus 2.

Operating system
The robot is equipped with the IRC5 Compact (IRC5C) or IRC5 (Single cabinet)
controller and robot control software, RobotWare. RobotWare supports every
aspect of the robot system, such as motion control, development and execution
of application programs, communication etc. See Product specification - Controller
IRC5 with FlexPendant (IRC5C included).
Safety
The safety standards are valid for the complete robot, manipulator and controller.
Additional functionality
For additional functionality, the robot can be equipped with optional software for
application support - for example gluing and welding, communication features -
network communication - and advanced functions such as multitasking, sensor
control etc. For a complete description on optional software, see Product
specification - Controller software IRC5.
