A robot for high performance applications
The IRB 6660 is an extremely reliable robot designed for high
performance applications. The stiff design supports accuracy
and short cycle times, which in the end increases productivity.
It comes in three versions, two with long reach aimed at
high-performance press tending operations and the the third
designed for challenging applications like cleaning and premachining of castings.
The optimised press tending robot
The most critical robot axes have been reinforced according
to typical press cycle time requirements. When combined
with the parallel arm design it makes the robot stiffer, easier
to control and faster.
The robot's gears have been reinforced to extend their life
and improve how they function at faster speeds.
It also includes power and resolver cabling up to the upper
arm house, which makes integration of an external axis easier.

The pre-machining robot
High productivity in cleaning and pre-machining applications
requires a stiff and robust robot. The IRB 6660 has a parallel
arm structure, and in general, a very compact and sturdy
mechanical design. Its special dual bearing design and powerful gears and motors provide additional support for handling
fluctuating process forces common within applications such
as milling, deburring and grinding.
The robot is available with ABB’s Foundry Plus 2 protection
and also has dedicated chip protection to further strengthen
the reliability and uptime.
