Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
The following ABB part numbers are functionally equivalent or directly interchangeable with 3HAC029030-004. Always verify axis configuration and payload rating before substitution:
- 3HAC029030-001 — Earlier revision; same wrist assembly, compatible with standard IRB4600 variants
- 3HAC029030-003 — Intermediate revision; mechanically identical, minor internal component update
- 3HAC029030-004 — Current production revision (this listing)
Note: Cross-referencing with your robot’s serial number and axis configuration is recommended before ordering a replacement.
Why Choose the Original Model
- OEM-grade precision machining ensures zero backlash and repeatable positioning accuracy
- Factory-calibrated for direct drop-in replacement — no re-teaching required in most cases
- Full traceability with ABB part number and revision marking
- Designed to withstand high-cycle industrial environments (IP67-rated enclosure)
- Backed by ABB’s global service network and spare parts warranty
Typical Applications
- Automotive body welding and assembly lines
- Material handling and palletizing (up to 60 kg payload)
- Machine tending and press-to-press transfer
- Arc welding and cutting automation
- General-purpose 6-axis robotic cells requiring high reach and payload
System Compatibility
The 3HAC029030-004 wrist unit is compatible with the following IRB4600 robot configurations:
- IRB4600-20/2.50
- IRB4600-40/2.55
- IRB4600-45/2.05
- IRB4600-60/2.05
Controller compatibility: IRC5 (single cabinet and dual cabinet). Verify software version (RobotWare 5.x / 6.x) with your ABB service engineer before replacement.
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to select the correct wrist assembly for your IRB4600:
- Step 1 — Identify robot variant: Check the robot nameplate for model number and payload rating (e.g., IRB4600-40/2.55).
- Step 2 — Confirm part revision: Cross-reference the existing wrist part number (stamped on the housing) with the table above.
- Step 3 — Check axis 5/6 configuration: Confirm wrist orientation (standard vs. foundry/wash-down version) matches your application.
- Step 4 — Verify controller version: IRC5 controller firmware must be compatible with the replacement wrist assembly.
- Step 5 — Contact Konmask: Our technical team can verify compatibility using your robot serial number before shipment.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can 3HAC029030-001 replace 3HAC029030-004 directly?
A: In most cases yes — the mechanical interface is identical. However, internal component revisions may affect performance in high-duty-cycle applications. Contact us to confirm.
Q: Is recalibration required after replacing the wrist?
A: Yes. After any wrist replacement, axis 4/5/6 calibration (fine calibration) is required using ABB’s calibration pendulum or CalibWare software.
Q: Do you supply refurbished units?
A: Yes. Refurbished units are available at reduced cost and carry a 90-day functional warranty. Please specify when ordering.
Q: What is the typical failure mode for this wrist?
A: Common failure modes include gear wear (axis 5/6), oil seal leakage, and encoder cable damage. We can assist with diagnosis before recommending replacement vs. repair.
Q: Can you supply the complete wrist with motors and encoders?
A: Yes. Complete wrist assemblies including servo motors and encoders are available. Please contact us with your full BOM requirements.
