IRB 1660ID - High Performance ID Robot for Arc Welding and Machine Tending

Up to 10% shorter cycle times IRB 1660ID’s new compact wrist with very powerful motors enables fast and reliable movements that do not impede swinging cables and allow maximum acceleration and speed at all times. This combined with ABB’s QuickMoveTM technology allows the IRB 1660ID to shorten cycle times up to 10% compared to the competition. Outstanding weld quality The demand for superior and quality in arc welding applications has increased, requiring improved wire feeding control near the arc to guarantee high-volume production. The IRB 1660ID has a stronger more rigid upper arm able to lift up to 6 kg to accommodate heavier torches. This, combined with ABB‘s TrueMoveTM technology and the new motion process “Accuracy mode” provides 0.05 mm path repeatability for excellent welding results. Safe robot movements enable high-density cells The IRB 1660ID with the aid of RobotStudio®, ABB’s premier offline robot software programming tool, enables robot programmers to envision high-densit
