Enhanced range delivers significant performance and up to 20% energy savings
ABB Robotics is expanding its large robot offering with four new models and 22 variants offering more choice increased coverage and greater performance. The next generation models include the IRB 6710, IRB 6720, IRB 6730 and IRB 6740, suitable for payloads ranging from 150kg to 310kg, with a reach from 2.5m to 3.2m, offering customers greater choice and significant performance and energy efficiency improvements.
These large robots are in response to our customers’ need for more choice and greater flexibility and are designed to help customers build consistency and resilience across a range of industries including automotive, Electric Vehicle, general industries, foundry, construction, metal, electronics, food and beverage, and logistics.
Ideal for a wide range of applications, including material handling, high-precision assembly, spot welding, laser welding, dispensing & gluing, and machine tending. In the automotive sector, these robots can support EV battery production of varying sizes (individual cells, modules and complete packages), high-precision car body assembly, as well as spot welding and the ability to enter tight spaces inside a vehicle to install dashboards or seats.
Key benefits
Modular design
These large robots are based on the same groundbreaking modular design, with standardized components across all large robot platforms, enabling faster, more convenient, and more flexible installation when changing robots in different production lines.Lower energy consumption
Helping customers operate more sustainably, these large robots consume up to 20% less energy. This was achieved by the robot’s lean design, up to 10% lighter and the OmniCore™ controller’s revolutionary, energy-saving power grid feedback solution.Designed to last
11 of the robot variants are equipped with a LeanID DressPack that eliminates swinging cables and supports off-line programmingIncreased productivity
Class-leading pose repeatability of 0.03 mm, and path repeatability of 0.08mm, and outstanding cycle time, and stiffness. These improvements increase productivity by enabling more products to be manufactured in less time.Foundry Plus protection
The ability to withstand harsh applications. Built to operate in the harshest environments - available with Foundry Plus protectionPowered by OmniCore
These large robots are powered by the OmniCore controller and RobotWare, providing best-in-class motion control enabled by ABB’s TrueMove for increased accuracy, QuickMove for high speed, and SafeMove for safe collaboration.Technical data
