If the flange surfaces are defective, the parts may not be used because leakage could occur. Clean the surfaces properly in accordance with the recommendations of ABB. Distribute the sealing compound evenly over the surface, preferably with a brush. Tighten the screws evenly when fastening the flange joint.
4.2.3 Sealing differences depending on protection class Standard IP40 vs optional IP67 The IRB 1200 has IP40 as standard protection class. If the robot is delivered with option IP67, many of the covers are equipped with gaskets, several components has been applied with locking liquid etc.

The encoder values are changed If encoder values are changed, the robot must be recalibrated using the calibration methods supplied by ABB. Calibrate the robot carefully with standard calibration. The method is described in the section Calibrating the robot on page 581.
The axes must be calibrated one at a time. The fine calibration method is used for all IRB 1200 robots and is the recommended method in order to achieve proper performance. 3HAC046983-001 Revision: -...
UNBRAKO screws UNBRAKO is a special type of screw recommended by ABB for certain screw joints. It features special surface treatment (Gleitmo as described below) and is extremely resistant to fatigue.
All components exceeding 22 kg (50 lbs) are highlighted in this way. To avoid injury, ABB recommends the use of a lifting accessory when handling components with a weight exceeding 22 kg. A wide range of lifting accessories and devices are available for each manipulator model.
