New robots are fast & compact
November 1st 2010 ABB has expanded its midrange
robots with a new
12 to 20kg robot family.
The new range of
fourth-generation
multipurpose robots is
designed to increase
productivity in
machine tending, material
handling, arc welding and
other process applications.
The three new IRB 2600 robot
models are said to be extremely fast
and compact, and can improve
production cycle times by up to 25%.
The IRB 2600 family features a
new optimised, compact design that
offers a high payload capacity of up
to 20kg and an ultra-wide working
range.
The IRB 2600 family contains
three models: two short arm
variants (1.65m) for 12 or
20kg payloads and a long arm
variant (1.85m) with a 12kg
payload. Up to 27kg payload
is achievable for pick/place
and packaging applications
with the wrist held vertical. More articles from ABB Robotics Ltd: |
