irb 6660 fx presentation | abb industrial robots
DESCRIPTION
ABB has been developing robot-based press automation solutions for nearly two decades. Its latest solution, the IRB 6660FX, is a rapid and flexible transfer system for medium size parts. Identical in design to ABB ’s large part transfer system, the IRB 7600FX, the IRB 6660FX is a perfect complement to ABB’s parts transfer offering. Suitable for both new and existing press lines, a dual action unit has been integrated into the IRB 6660 to create a 7-axis robot, which allows medium size parts to be transferred rapidly along a linear path. As a result, vibrations created when parts are rotated 180° by a conventional 6-axis robot are eliminated. The system is also equipped with integrated dynamic model control to coordinate all seven axes to ensure optimum speed, accuracy and lifetime. Benefits: + Optimum stiffness/weight ratio + Optimized shape design: reduced tooling height to minimize press occupation + Unified tooling for 6 and 7 axis robots + Ergonomic - since tooling to be changed is smaller + Fewer components + Requires less room for storageTRANSCRIPT

Press-shop is one of the most capital intensive processes in auto industry
Increasing output means a higher return over the installed equipment
Upgrading existing lines (Brownfield’s) is also a big focus for ABB

IRB 6660 FX Fastest medium size parts solution
IRB 6660FX complements ABB’s fast parts transfer IRB 7600FX
Integration of the dual action linear 7th axis to IRB 6660, allows transfer of parts along a linear path,
Eliminates vibration created by conventional 6-axis robot’s 180º rotation of part
Its dynamic model coordinates all seven axes ensuring optimum speed, accuracy and lifetime.
Handling capacity: 50 Kg
Reach: 3.10+1.40 m.

The carbon fiber tooling increases output thanks to its shape design which has been optimized for tool height.
As a result it can be placed into the die at lower press opening
Benefits:
Optimum stiffness/weight ratio
Optimized shape design: reduced tooling height to minimize press occupation
Unified tooling for 6 and 7 axis robots
Ergonomic - since tooling to be changed is smaller
Fewer components
Requires less room for storage
