The ABB 3HNA024203-001 is a genuine Serial Measurement Board (SMB) Battery Unit essential for maintaining the absolute accuracy of ABB's IRB 6600 and IRB 6640 industrial robots. This critical spare part provides backup power to the robot's encoders, ensuring that precise positional data is not lost during a power shutdown or failure.

Regular, proactive replacement of this battery is a key preventive maintenance activity that prevents costly production downtime, avoids the need for lengthy recalibration procedures, and ensures your robotic cells operate with continuous precision.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Genuine ABB OEM Part: Guarantees perfect compatibility, performance, and reliability for your IRB 6600/6640 robot.

• Prevents Position Loss: Powers the robot's encoders during shutdowns, preserving critical calibration data.

• Avoid Costly Downtime: Proactive replacement prevents unexpected stops and lengthy recalibration processes.

• Maintain Peak Accuracy: Ensures your robot continues to operate with the high precision it was designed for.

• Easy Preventive Maintenance: A simple, scheduled swap-out as part of a routine maintenance plan.

Why This Part is Critical

Industrial robots use absolute encoders to know their exact position in space. This precise calibration data is stored in the robot's controller. The SMB battery provides the necessary power to retain this vital data when the main power is disconnected. If this battery fails:

• The robot will lose its positional reference (zero position).

• A "Battery Low" or "SMB Battery" alarm will appear on the FlexPendant.

• The robot will require a full recalibration using a precision tool (e.g., EMT kit), a process that takes hours and halts production.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Is this a genuine ABB part?
A: Yes. We are a trusted supplier of genuine ABB Robotics components. This part is 100% authentic and comes with full traceability, ensuring optimal performance and safety for your robotic system.

Q: How often should I replace the SMB battery?
A: ABB recommends a proactive replacement every 12-18 months as a standard preventive maintenance practice. The actual interval can vary based on operating hours and environmental conditions. Replace it immediately if a low battery alarm appears.

Q: Can I replace this battery myself?
A: Yes, the replacement procedure for this battery unit is generally straightforward and can be performed by trained plant maintenance personnel. However, it is crucial to follow the official ABB procedure outlined in the robot's manual to avoid data loss. The robot must be powered down and in a safe state.

Q: What is the lead time for this item?
A: We stock a wide range of common ABB robot spares. Please use the "Check Stock" button or contact our sales team directly for the most current availability and shipping estimates to your location.

Q: What happens if my robot already lost its position?
A: If the position is already lost, replacing the battery is still the first step. However, you will then need to perform a full recalibration of the robot's zero position using an EMT (External Measurement Tool) or similar calibration tool kit. We can provide guidance on sourcing these kits.
