ABB IRB 1600 M2004

6 axis industrial robot suitable for machine tending, material handling, arc welding, cutting, dispensing, assembly, palletizing and packaging, measuring, die casting, injection moulding and handling of small parts of loads up to 6 kg and 1450 mm arm reach

Main advantages

The IRB 1600 has up to 50 percent shorter cycle times than competing robots in material handling, machine tending and process applications. It speeds up and slows down faster than other robots, saving time while moving between tasks. This is possible due to ABB’s patented second generation QuickMove motion control, combined with the robot’s strong motors and low friction losses in the spur gears

Low friction spur gears, and no unnecessary moves due to QuickMove and TrueMove, reduces power consumption down to 0.58 kW at max speed, and even less at low speeds. The airborne noise level of just <70 dB (A) secures a healthy sound environment.

This robot comes with the IRC5 M2004 (fifth generation of ABB control system) controller which features:

FlexPendant

The FlexPendant is characterized by its clean, color touch screen-based design and 3D joystick for intuitive interaction. Powerful customized application support enables loading of

RAPID programming language

RAPID programming provides the perfect combination of simplicity, flexibility and power. It is a truly unlimited language with support for structured programs, shop floor language

and advanced features. It also incorporates powerful support for many process applications.

Communication

The IRC5 supports the state-of-the-art field busses for I/O and is a well-behaved node in any plant network. Sensor interfaces, remote disk access and socket messaging are examples of the many powerful networking features.
