Abb Robots For Sale IRB6700  High-payload (150–300kg) Foundries

The ABB IRB6700 series redefines heavy-duty automation with 150–300 kg payload capacity and 2.6–3.2 m reach, engineered explicitly for demanding foundry and heavy-industrial applications. Its Foundry Plus 2 protection (IP67-rated) enables operation in extreme conditions—resisting molten metal splashes, high temperatures (up to 70°C), dust, and humidity.

• Lean ID Cable Management: Integrated wiring reduces cable wear by 40%, extends service life, and enables predictable motion planning—critical for precision tasks in confined spaces .

• Enhanced Durability: Reinforced joints and rigid structure maintain ±0.05–0.1 mm repeatability even under continuous 300 kg loads .

• Energy Efficiency: 15% lower power consumption vs. predecessors like the IRB 6640, reducing operational costs .
