High payload robot

ABB has announced the launch of a new stronger robot, IRB 6640. This new robot is perfect for various applications within material handling, machine tending and spot welding.

This new robot gives a higher maximum payload of 235 kg, which makes the robot suitable for many heavy material handling applications. For the IRB 6640ID, Internal Dressing, the payload is increased from 185 to 200 kg, which meets the requirements from the heavy spot welding industry.

New valuable features, like simplified forklift pockets, give easy maintenance. The reduced robot weight, by almost 400 kg, simplifies installation.

This new robot runs the second generation of TrueMove and QuickMove, which ensures increased path performance, and in the end, means less time for programming and better process result.

IRB 6640 comes in different arm lengths and matching handling capacities. IRB 6640ID, Internal Dressing, has its process cables routed inside the upper arm and the cables follow every motion of the robot arm.

The robot is also available with different options for different working environments, such as Foundry Plus, Foundry Prime and Clean Room.

As the robot is based on the proven components used for the IRB 6600, easier maintenance, exchangeability and high up time are ensured.
