ABB Robotics has introduced the IRB 6700 robot family, its seventh generation of large industrial robots and will be exhibiting at FABTECH Canada 2014.
The new IRB 6700 is available in payloads from 150 to 300 kg, and reaches from 2.6 to 3.2 meters, and is designed for spot welding, material handling and machine tending.
In addition to enhanced speed, payload and accuracy, the power consumption has been lowered by 15 per cent, total cost of ownership has been reduced by up to 20 per cent, and maintenance has been optimized, doubling the time between service intervals.
The new model is available with LeanID, a new Integrated Dressing (ID) designed for easier programming and a smaller footprint.
It has also been built to withstand the harshest working environments and is available with ABB’s ultimate Foundry Plus 2 protection system.
