The IRB 6640 is ABB’s newest robot for heavy lifting needs. It was built to replace its forerunner, the IRB 6600 robot. With six axes of motion, a protection rating of IP67, and a maximum payload of 180kg, it is ready to tackle the tough challenges. Its strong design is ideal for material handling, machine tending, or spot welding applications. The standard IRB 6640 version has a 2.55m horizontal reach. It is a floor mount model with the ability to bend behind itself for extra accessibility. The ABB 6640 can use the IRC5 or S4C controller. Video https://youtu.be/G0ICF5FW9fE

ABB IRB 7600 3.1/325kg with M2004 IRC5 controller. The 7600 is typically used for handling large loads and also for high tolerance milling, as the strength and rigidity of the arm is exceptional. Features such as high available torque and inertia capability, as well as the rigid design and powerful acceleration have made it a market leader. Typical applications can be the handling of heavy fixtures, the handling and turning of car bodies, the lifting of engines, the handling of heavy parts in foundries or forges, the loading and unloading of machine cells, or the handling of heavy layers of pallets. One of the main challenges for robots handling heavy loads is to ensure the safety of personnel and the protection of staff, avoiding the risk of an accident. For this reason, the manufacturer has developed SafeMove2, a robot monitoring solution with, which enables the robots not to compromise safety. robots not to compromise safety. It includes a number of state-of-the-art safety functions.
