High-speed flexibility in press automation

The IRB 760FX raises the bar in Press Automation and provides customers with more flexibility and higher productivity at greater speeds and easier programming.

 

The new IRB 760FX is composed by:

 

  • IRB 760 (4-Axis robot)
  • CF Linear axis
  • 2 x Servo-tilting modules (±30˚)
  • 2 x Tooling XBar

Key benefits

Productivity

With a faster production output rate of up to 14 parts per minute (spm) in press lines, the IRB 760FX is perfectly designed for high-speed press automation applications. The use of reinforced carbon fiber in the linear axis structure delivers exceptional rigidity and a considerable reduction in weight. The result is a 15–20% faster press automation robot with unique repeatability, load capacity, and flexibility.

Operability

IRB 760FX runs on the well-established StampWare and is designed to facilitate interaction between the operator and press automation. Available on the robot FlexPendant for maximum simplicity, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness, StampWare includes a graphical programming wizard that reduces the time required for training operators and robot programmers. This leads to more efficient production during installation, setup, and optimization of the robot cycle.

Flexibility

By integrating two servo-tilting modules (±30˚) in the linear axis, the IRB 760FX offers the flexibility needed for press automation involving large and medium-sized panels, and processes such as part reorientation, tilting, and separation. The modules can work together for single-part tilting or separately for dual-part tilting during linear transfer.

Efficiency

The IRB 760FX is enabled for fast Automatic Tool Change (ATC), reducing non-productive time. ATC can be performed both in the inter-press floor area and on the bolster, with the crossbar transferred together with the die.
