ABB has launched an ISO 5 (Class 100) cleanroom version of its smallest multipurpose industrial robot, the six-axis IRB 120. It is designed to eliminate the potential for contamination of the manufacturing area and the components being processed.

The IRB 120 Cleanroom variant has been independently tested and certified by the Fraunhofer-IPA institute in Europe as cleanroom ISO 5 (Class 100). This robot, with specially painted smooth surfaces, has high accuracy while performing very short cycle times. It can also be mounted at any angle, either in a cell, on top of a machine or close to other robots on the manufacturing line, making it suitable for material handling and assembly applications.

The robot comes with the ABB IRC5 compact control which includes user friendly FlexPendant programming, RobotStudio offline programming, flexible RAPID language and powerful communication capabilities.
