ABB Inc: Arc Welding Robot with Fully Integrated Dressing

The IRB 1520ID combines 24/7 production durability with 50% lower maintenance costs for low cost per weld.
April 23, 2013

The robot features internal Axis-1 routing of the welding cabling, a compact swing base, and 30% less weight than the company's premium performance welding robot. The upper arm integrated dressing (ID) design simplifies programming and provides optimum protection for all media, including welding power and wire, shielding gas and pressurized air. This extends hose life by 50% and allows for more flexible movements, such as those needed for single-motion welds around cylindrical objects or weld seams on parts of a complex geometry. The compact base and lower weight, combined with a 1.5 m reach and 4 kg payload, make the new robot easy to install in a wide range of production configurations, in either floor or invert mount positions. The company's TrueMove technology gives the unit the highest path accuracy in the lightweight arc welding robot class. The robot also features the easy-to-use ABB FlexPendant HMI, which can be used by operators with minimum training.
