High performance ID robot for arc welding and machine tending
When shorter cycle times, unmatched versatility, and a smaller, more powerful wrist matter - ABB’s IRB 1660ID is the robot of choice.
Key benefits
Up to 10% shorter cycle times
IRB 1660ID’s new compact wrist with very powerful motors enables fast and reliable movements that do not impede swinging cables and allow maximum acceleration and speed at all times. This combined with ABB’s QuickMoveTM technology allows the IRB 1660ID to shorten cycle times up to 10% compared to competition.Strong and accurate
The IRB 1660ID has a stronger more rigid upper arm able to lift up to 6 kg to accommodate heavier torches. This, combined with ABB‘s TrueMoveTM technology and the new motion process “Accuracy mode” provides 0.05 mm path repeatability for excellent welding results.Safe robot movements enable high density cells
The IRB 1660ID with the aid of RobotStudio®, ABB’s premier offline robot software programming tool, enables robot programmers to envision high density cells with several robots welding close to each other with a minimum of work piece heat distortions.Fast, agile and reliable for machine tending
The compact and hollow wrist enables fast and reliable movements since the robot can move at maximum acceleration and speed without damaging the Integrated DressPack. The risk of collision in confined spaces is also eliminated. The combined working range of axes 4, 5 and 6 of 1,390° provides outstanding agility inside CNC machines.Lower maintenance costs
The IP67 wrist, the protection of the cablings from water and the controlled movements provide up to 50 percent lower maintenance costs and a longer life expectancy.Technical data
