The ABB Air Control Unit (ACU) is a high-performing and costefficient air flow controller for paint applications that is easy to integrate into new and existing installations. This extremely accurate and reliable unit controls air flow, enabling paint atomizers an incredibly fast response time, at an even lower working pressure than existing solutions.

Lightweight and compact, the ACU can be installed directly on the paint robot arm of both IRB 5400 and IRB 5500. As compared to the PPRU which is mounted inside the pneumatic cabinet on the IRB 5500, situated outside the spray booth. 

The new ACU design gives you faster response time plus stable and uniform air flow.

Optimize your paint process with the ACU to get access to all the benefits and significant paint- and energy savings.
Paint savings with IPS

With the new ACU‘s millisecond response time you can now take full advantage of BB’s IPS system, designed to save paint. High acceleration painting robots combined with fast process regulation provide optimum use of paint material. In short, IPS reduces your cost to make you more profitable.

Quick and easy replacement 

The ACU replaces MAC-kit PPRU units on S4P, S4P+, and IRC5P paint robots. The replacement may require some adjustments for older generations. The ACU is a plug-andplay solution with pre-calibrated settings, easily fine-tuned or customized, ensuring an extremely accurate and stable overall performance.

Introduction

The AZ100 Zirconia Oxygen Analyzer is a versatile system designed primarily for the OEM boiler and burner controls market.

The system is a low-temperature type designed to work in process temperatures up to 800 °C (1472 °F) and with a maximum sensor mounting flange temperature of 400 °C(752 °F).

The analyzer provides oxygen computation, with readout and retransmission, based on the probe mV output signal. The output signal (E mV) is Nernstian in form and follows the equation:

E (mv) = 0.0496T(log10 P0 / P1) ± CmV

Where:  T = Absolute temperature

P0 = Reference O2 partial pressure

P1 = Sample O2 partial pressure

C = Cell constant (mV zero offset)

0.0496 = Faraday’s gas constant

Probe design

The probe uses the proven and innovative ABB electrode and cell design technology which has been so reliable in other ABB zirconia probe designs.

The flexible probe design gives a range of intake tube lengths to suit all applications and an optional filter/flame arrester making it safe for use where groups IIB and IIC gases may occur in the process being measured.

The probe has options of male thread NPT or BSPT mountings. As with all previous ABB designs of low temperature probes, the AZ100 probe is site-serviceable.

Continuous supervision of complete trip circuit independent of circuit breaker position

The supervision relay type TCS is intended for a continuous supervision of circuit breaker trip circuit and gives an alarm for loss of auxiliary supply, faults on the trip coil or its wires independent of the breaker position, faults on the breaker auxiliary contacts and faults in the supervision relay. The trip circuit supervision is a crucial requirements as its failure can cause disconnect of possible network fault and eventually have to be cleared by another upstream protection.

The IRB 1200 is one of the latest generation of 6-axis industrial robots from ABB Robotics with a payload of 5 to 7kg.

It is designed for manufacturing industries that use robot-based flexible automation, such as the 3C industry.

The robot’s open architecture makes it particularly suitable for flexible use and allows extensive communication with external systems.

IRB 1200 Type A

Type A – Axis Calibration

The difference between the IRB 1200 and the IRB 1200 Type A is that the Type A uses axis calibration. Each axis has a bushing on which the calibration tool is mounted.

Therefore, the castings of the IRB 1200 and IRB 1200 A models are different.

How do I know the type of robot?

The type label on the robot base indicates whether the robot is axis calibrated or not.

These robots are named IRB 1200 A models.

Robots that are not axis calibrated are simply named IRB 1200 (no type indicated).

IRB 1200 Type B

Type B – SafeMove 2

The IRB 1200 Type B differs from the other IRB 1200 versions in that

Type B supports SafeMove 2.

Operating mechanism type EL

The low speed of the contacts, the short running time and the low mass limit the energy required for operation and thus ensure extremely limited wear of the system. Circuit breakers

therefore require only limited maintenance.

VD4 circuit breakers have a mechanical operating mechanism with energy storage and free tripping. These features make opening and closing operations independent of the operator.

The operating mechanism is very simple to conceive and use, can be customised with various accessories and is quick and easy to install. This simplicity makes the equipment more reliable.

Structure

The operating mechanism and the magnetic poles are fixed to a metal frame which also serves as a support for the fixed circuit breakers.

The compact construction ensures robustness and mechanical reliability.

The tractable circuit breakers are also equipped with a bracket trolley for putting them into or taking them out of the switchgear or enclosure with the door closed.
