Extending our mid-range robot family

ABB further extends its mid range robot family. The IRB 2600 is the second model in the sharp generation range with enhanced and new capabilities. It is a compact robot with a high payload capacity. The design has been optimized for targeted applications like arc welding, material handling and machine tending. The IRB 2600 is available in three variants, with options for floor, wall, shelf, tilted or inverted mounting configurations.

 

Key benefits

Sharp accuracy

With the best accuracy in its class, the IRB 2600 can help you increase output with higher process speeds and lower scrap rates, resulting in improved productivity. This is particularly useful in process applications, such as arc welding. The high accuracy is achieved by use of the TrueMove™ motion control software.

Short cycle times

Thanks to the compact and optimized design resulting in a low weight, the IRB 2600 can cut the cycle times of the industry benchmark by up to 25%. The QuickMove™ motion control software ensures that the maximum acceleration achievable is highest in its class, together with high maximum speeds.

Flexible mounting

The combination of large working range and flexible mounting makes it possible to reach machines to be served without interfering with auxiliary equipment. By optimizing the robot placement, you’ll benefit from higher productivity.

Compact design

The IRB 2600 has the same small foot print as IRB 4600. With the IRB 2600 you can create your production cell with reduced floorspace by placing the robot closer to the served machines. The robots’ design makes it easier for the lower arm to reach straight downwards.

Best protection available

ABB has the most comprehensive protection program for industrial robots on the market. The IRB 2600 has IP67 as standard and FoundryPlus 2 as option.
