description ABB IRB 6700 Overview
The ABB IRB 6700 is a high-performance industrial robot designed for heavy-duty applications. It excels in welding, palletizing, and machine tending where durability and precision are paramount. Its modular design allows for various end-effector configurations, making it versatile across different manufacturing sectors. The robot features advanced path planning software that optimizes cycle times while ensuring smooth motion, reducing mechanical wear over long production runs.
help ABB IRB 6700 FAQ
What payload can the ABB IRB 6700 handle?
The IRB 6700 is a robot family rather than one fixed configuration, with variants covering different reaches and payloads. ABB has offered versions reaching payload classes around 150 to 300 kg, so cell designers must select the precise arm variant.
What jobs is the IRB 6700 commonly used for?
Its high-payload, six-axis design suits spot welding, material handling, machine tending, palletizing, and foundry work. ABB introduced the IRB 6700 as a successor to the widely deployed IRB 6600 family.
Which controller is used with the ABB IRB 6700?
IRB 6700 installations are commonly paired with ABB's IRC5 controller and programmed with the RAPID language. Newer ABB automation projects may use different controller generations, so the robot, controller, drive system, and RobotWare version must be checked as one package.
Can the IRB 6700 work in harsh foundry or welding environments?
ABB offers application-specific protection options, including Foundry Plus variants for demanding industrial environments. Those options do not eliminate the need for guarding, extraction, cable protection, and maintenance appropriate to welding or molten-metal cells.
