ABB Robotics: High Payload Robot

Nov. 26, 2015
The IRB 8700 offers high performance with low total cost of ownership.

The robot has a reach of 3.5 meters and can handle a payload of up to 800 kg (1000 kg with the wrist down; 630 kg with LeanID). Targeted for material handling applications in the automotive, transportation and other heavy industries, the robot automatically adapts and adjusts its speed to accommodate heavy and wide parts. It offers all the functionality and expertise of the company's portfolio in a much bigger package. The unit has only one motor and one gear per robot axis, and has no gas springs: only a counterweight and mechanical springs, which mean the unit has fewer components and is able to deliver shorter cycle times and higher accuracy. The robot is available in two configurations, one with a reach of 4.2 meters and a payload of 550 kg (620 kg with the wrist down; 475 kg with LeanID), and the other with a reach of 3.5 meters and a payload of 800 kg (1000 kg with the wrist down; 630 kg with LeanID). Both configurations are available with LeanID, a cost-effective Integrated Dressing (ID) designed for easier programming, reduced wear and a smaller footprint. Both configurations also have a high moment of inertia at 725 kg-m squared.
