ABB has a unique set of differentiators

ABB is superior

• Up to 25% shorter cycle times

• Superior path and speed accuracy

• The best protected robot

• 12 kg payload on the long arm

• Field-bus connections on upper arm

• Electronic position switches

ABB is in par with the competition

• Large working envelope

• Flexible mounting including wall mounted

• Highly compact robot


Up to 25 % shorter cycle time

• 2nd generation QuickMove ™

• Accurate dynamic model

• Max accelerations always utilized

• Highest accelerations values on the

market

• Weight reduction from 380 to 280 kgspeed

Cycle time gain


Superior path and speed accuracy

• ABB set the standard for robot path

accuracy in 1994

• IRB 2400 became the benchmark

• ABB’s motion control technology - 2nd

generation TrueMove ™ - optimised

Higher payloads

IRB 2600-12/1.65 Payload increase from 10 to 12 kg

IRB 2600-20/1.65 Payload increase from 16 to 20 kg Wrist down -> 27 kg

IRB 2600-12/1.85 Payload increase from 7 to 12 kg -> 70 % increase !


Flexible mounting including wall mounted

Features

Floor, tilted, wall and inverted (option)

Simplified design enables tremendous agility

Benefits

Can place the robot in the best position

Shorter cycle times

Reduced workshop floor space


ABB has the lowest robot

ABB and Fanuc has the smallest elbow

Swing base radius better than Kuka

More compact cells -> Shorter cycle times & reduced workshop floorspace

Highly compact robot
