ABB evolves IRB 1200 small robot family, with greater speed, precision and choice
• New generation available in four variants, offering class-leading payloads in demanding applications • Powered by the OmniCore controller for class-leading motion control, faster cycle times and ease of use • 20% lighter, reducing mounting costs and energy consumption
ABB Robotics' IRB 1200 high performance small robot family is evolving into a new generation that is faster and more precise, improving productivity and efficiency for a wide range of applications.
"With rising demand from SMEs, the need for adaptable and efficient small automation solutions has never been greater," said Marc Segura, President ABB Robotics. "The new IRB 1200 takes efficiency and productivity even further in the most precise automation tasks."
The new generation IRB 1200 family comes in four variants — 5, 7, 8, and 9 kg — the latter offering best-in-class payload, making it ideal for handling larger or heavier parts.
Powered by ABB's OmniCoreTM controller, the new robots achieve class-leading motion control, with path accuracy to just 0.6mm and pose repeatability down to 0.011mm, even for multiple robots at high speeds of up to 1600mm/s.
A 5% faster cycle time ensures that the new IRB 1200 family delivers this precision with even greater productivity, making it ideal for high throughput, complex applications such as surface finishing, assembly, and dispensing, designed for electronics, general industries, automotive electronics, and consumer industries.
Through its leaner design, the new IRB 1200 enables more compact and efficient installation, boosting throughput and efficiency without increasing production footprint. At the same time, it is 20% lighter than the previous generation, reducing pedestal mounting and energy consumption.
Thanks to OmniCore, the new generation IRB 1200 family also offers ease of use, through full access to ABB's expanding suite of AI-powered software, such as RobotStudio®, RobotStudio AI Assistant, and AppStudioTM.
