ABB IRB 6660-100/3.3 press-tending robot

ABB’s latest press-tending robot, the IRB 6660-100/3.3, is up to 15% faster than its predecessors.

The company has also extended the IRB 6660’s reach to 3.35 from 3.1 m. This increases the distance between press lines to between 8.5 and 8.7 m and allows the robot to handle larger blanks with very short cycle times.

Suitable for both new and existing press-tending manufacturing lines, only the robot’s arm length has been changed, allowing users to easily and cost-effectively upgrade their existing assets. Otherwise the robot remains a 6-axis robot with a 100 kg payload capacity, a parallel arm structure and compact and sturdy mechanical design. Its special dual bearing design and powerful gears and motors provide additional support for handling fluctuating process forces common within applications such as milling, deburring and grinding.
