IRB 6700
The next generation of large industrial robots
The IRB 6700 family of robots
is a natural evolution following
40 years of large robot heritage
at ABB. This 7th generation
of large ABB robots features
a multitude of next generation
improvements derived from
intimate customer relationships
and exhaustive engineering
studies.
After four decades of interaction with our customers they
have decisively told us that reliability is the single most important factor when choosing a robot. So when we decided to
upgrade our most popular large robot range, we closely evaluated every possible change we could make to increase their
reliability more than ever, while simultaneously improving their
efficiency.
Introducing the “new generation” IRB 6700 family – the
highest performance robots in the 150-300 kilogram class,
now with a 20 percent reduction in total cost of ownership
achieved through more robust design, longer service intervals, increased efficiency and simplified maintenance versus
the previous generation.
ABB’s expertise and innovation come together to create a robot you can count on in today’s fast-paced and
ever-changing production environments. In fact, we are so
confident in their quality and reliability that they are fully supported by our ABB Robot Care “flat-fee” service contracts.
Our leading technology has created a new generation of
robots that will quickly become indispensable members of
your operation.
The IRB 6700 is more robust than its predecessor and maintenance has been simplified, making it the highest performing
robot for the lowest total cost of ownership in the 150-300
kg class. Not only have accuracy, payload and speed been
enhanced in the IRB 6700, but energy consumption has been
lowered by 15 percent and overall serviceability has been
improved with minimum time between failures calculated at a
significant 400,000 hours.
Multiple variants
The IRB 6700 enhances ABB’s portfolio by combining greater uptime, higher payloads and longer reach for use in Spot
Welding, Material Handling and Machine Tending applications.
A complete array of robot variants with payloads from 150 to
300 kg and reaches from 2.6 to 3.2 meters makes the IRB
6700 easily adaptable to the large variety of tasks required in
both the automotive and general industries.
Robust and reliable
Anchored by a new generation of accurate, efficient and reliable motors and compact gearboxes, the IRB 6700 is underpinned with quality from the earliest stages of manufacturing.
The entire robot structure has been strengthened with
higher rigidity, resulting in increased accuracy, shorter cycle
