The IRB 6700 family of robots is a natural evolution following more than 30 years of large robot heritage at ABB. This seventh generation of large ABB robots features a multitude of next generation improvements derived from intimate customer relationships and exhaustive engineering studies. The IRB 6700 is more robust than its predecessor and maintenance has been simplified, making it the highest performing robot for the lowest total cost of ownership in the 150-300 kg class.

Not only accuracy, payload and speed been enhanced in the IRB 6700, but power consumption has also been lowered by 15 percent while overall serviceability has been improved. The result is the most reliable and cost effective large robot ABB has ever built. In fact, with the IRB 6700, total cost of ownership has been reduced by 20 percent and minimum time between failures has been calculated at a significant 400,000 hours.

The features and benefits of IRB 6700 include increased service intervals and decreased service times, longer uptime—minimum time between failures 400,000 hours, available with Lean ID for cost effectively increasing dress pack lifetimes, more robust with a rigid structure and a new generation of motors and compact gearboxes, increased speed and shorter cycle times—on average 5 percent faster, improved accuracy and higher payloads, built to operate in the harshest environments—available with Foundry Plus 2 package and 15 percent lower power consumptio
