Elevated Rail for the IRB 5500-25

The Elevated Rail for the IRB
5500 reduces cycle times by
as much as 10% on Stop & Go
automotive paint lines.

Description
The Elevated Rail for the IRB 5500 system is one of the most
advanced paint solutions available on the market.
Ideally suited for both interior and exterior automotive painting
as well as other paint applications, the system expands the exibility of the IRB 5500 FlexPainter, which is the most versatile
working envelope of any paint robot.
Designed for Stop & Go automotive paint lines, the
Elevated Rail for the IRB 5500 increases the flexibility on
these types of lines and allows for easy repositioning of the
robot, guaranteeing an effective backup solution. It is able
to accommodate most car body sizes which has the added
advantage of potentially reducing the number of robots on
a paint line. This added flexibility and the ability to place the
robot in an optimal position directly contributes to reducing
cycle times by up to 10%.

Reliability
Based on more than 30 years of rail experience,
the Elevated Rail for the IRB 5500 is the fifth generation
of ABB rail systems for automotive paint shops.
The Elevated Rail for the IRB 5500, eliminates the need for
additional engineering and other costs associated with
installing an IRB 5500 on a third party rail. The integrated
ABB dynamic modelling for all axes lowers energy consumption, increases accuracy and provides a fully synchronized and
balanced paint robot motion.
The elevated rail sections (rail elements) are designed to be
a self-carrying structure without the need for a beam support
under the rail.
To maintain accuracy and prevent deflection only two pillars
with up to 4.7meters (center-to-center) are employed with one
or two robots on the rail.
RobotStudio®
The Elevated Rail for the IRB 5500 is fully supported for offline
programming and 100% accurate cycle checks and path
accuracy for all components (including the rail).
