Unique combination of high payload capacity, large working range, and Integrated Dressing

Featuring a unique combination of high payload capacity, large working range, and Integrated Dressing (ID), which routes all cables and hoses inside the robot’s upper arm and wrist. These robots can reduce cycle times by up to 15%, significantly increasing production output in a variety of applications.

 

There are two models in the range. The 2 m reach, 8 kg version is designed to be integrated with arc welding process equipment. The 1.85 m reach, 15 kg model comes with a flexible conduit designed to optimize material handling and machine tending.

Key benefits

Shorter cycle times

Because all process cables and hoses are routed inside the robot arm, the IRB 2600ID robots dramatically decrease downtime caused by interference and wear. These features help to significantly reduce total cycle times and increase reliability.

Faster programming

The ease with which off-line programs can be created with Integrated Dressing (ID). The controlled movements of the hoses and cables are easily predicted which minimizes the time required for fine-tuning programs and enables a faster start of production. Total programming time is reduced by up to 90%.

Reduced cost of ownership

With all hoses and cables firmly secured and protected, they swing less during operation, and with less exposure to weld spatter or cutting fluids and the lifetime increases significantly. Costs are reduced in terms of purchasing and welding torch exchange by up to 75% and up to three production stops per year can be eliminated.

Higher output from a smaller footprint

With its compact design and without loose hoses and cables, the IRB 2600ID has a very small footprint with a swing base radius of only 337 mm and a base width of only 511 mm. In material handling and machine tending, this means that the robot can be placed closer to the machines being served.

Increased agility in smaller spaces

The wrist is very slim, only 227 x 130 mm. With all hoses and cables integrated through the process wrist the robot can easily access narrow openings and perform complex movements.
