Portfolio of large industrial Robots expanded
With the introduction of the 'IRB 6730S', 'IRB 6750S' and 'IRB 6760' models, ABB Robotics is expanding its range of large robots. The portfolio with a total of eleven robot families and 60 variants offers great flexibility and choice as well as high performance and sustainability.
"The launch of our new large robots is in line with our vision that versatility will play a key role in 2025," said Marc Segura, head of ABB's Robotics division. "With our market-leading range of industrial robots and variants, as well as our comprehensive portfolio of mechatronics platforms, cobots and AMR, we are well positioned to support our customers as they move into a new world of greater productivity and flexibility. In addition, our automation solutions can help companies overcome challenges such as labor shortages while ensuring sustainable operations."
The two shelf-mounted robots IRB 6730S and IRB 6750S are designed to enable a higher robot density in production lines. With up to 350 kilograms, they not only offer the highest payload in their class, they can also be installed elevated - or on a second level - to maximize productivity together with floor-mounted robots. In addition, the robots are characterized by excellent vertical and horizontal mobility. This makes them ideal for optimal use of space in die casting, injection molding and spot welding applications in the automotive, foundry, construction and general manufacturing industries.
The IRB 6760 belongs to the latest generation of ABB robots for press feeding and represents the most powerful solution to date for medium-sized press lines. In combination with ABB's carbon tool arm, the robot enables an increase in production output to a peak value of 15 strokes per minute or 900 parts per hour. The IRB 6760 is particularly suitable for the automotive, electronics and general manufacturing industries.
The three new robots are powered by OmniCore, ABB's advanced controller that enables a 20 percent reduction in energy consumption1 and first-class performance. For example, the IRB 6750S can achieve a path accuracy of up to 0.9 millimeters in conjunction with the OmniCore controller.
The comprehensive range of next-generation robots is designed to further optimize system performance by combining them. For example, ten IRB 6730S or IRB 6750S shelf-mounted robots can work together with eight IRB 6710 to IRB 6740 floor-mounted robots to increase the number of spot welds on a vehicle body from 70 to 80 in just 15 seconds compared to previous models. In addition, the portfolio's pioneering modular design can help reduce operating costs through shared spare parts and services.
