The
IRB
6700
family
is
the
highest
performance
robots
in
the
150-300
kilogram
class,
now
with
a
20
percent
reduction
in
total
cost
of
ownership
achieved
through
more
robust
design,
longer
service
intervals,
increased
efficiency
and
simplified
maintenance
versus
the
previous
generation.
Multiple
variants
These
robots
enhances
ABB’s
portfolio
by
combining
greater
uptime,
higher
payloads
and
longer
reach
for
use
in
Spot
Welding,
Material
Handling
and
Machine
Tending
applications
at
the
automotive
and
the
general
industries.
This
array
of
robot
variants
has
payloads
from
150
to
300
kg,
reaches
2.6
to
3.2
meters,
and
are
avalible
as
floor
mounted
and
inverted
versions.
Robust
and
reliable
The
entire
robot
structure
has
been
strengthened
with
higher
rigidity,
resulting
in
increased
accuracy,
shorter
cycle
time
and
better
protection.
It
has
been
built
to
withstand
the
harshest
working
environments
and
is
available
with
ABB’s
ultimate
Foundry
Plus
2
protection
system.
The
IRB
6700
has
also
been
validated
and
tested
with
more
robot
prototypes
than
ever
before
to
ensure
that
the
predictions
for
reliability
were
accurate
in
the
real
world.
Simplified
maintenance
In
designing
the
robot,
easier
serviceability
was
identified
as
a
critical
aspect
for
improving
its
total
cost
of
ownership.
Therefor
service
and
repair
time
has
been
reduced
by
15
percent.
Access
to
motors
has
also
been
improved
and
technical
documentation
for
maintenance
has
become
easier
to
read
and
understand
through
the
use
of
improved
graphics
and
3D
simulations
called
“Simstructions.”
