ABB Multi-joint Robot IRB 5720-180/2.6 Load 180kg Arm Span 2600mm

ABB is expanding its large size robot portfolio with IRB 5720, offering faster performance, more accurate, expanded mounting options, and advanced foundry protection than other competing robots in its class. The IRB 5720 is available in four variants spanning various options for payload from 90kg to 180kg, reach from 2.6m to 3m.

IRB 5720 is ideal for use in material handling, machine tending, and high precision assembly applications in the Electric Vehicle (EV), automotive, and the general industries. For Electric Vehicles, the robots can handle an array of tasks, including EV battery module picking and placing, high precision assembly, and parts handling.

Productivity

Thanks to the robot’s robust mechanical design and OmniCore controller V250XT’s motion control, the IRB 5720 provides improved speed and accuracy to help increase productivity. IRB 5720 is faster than competing robots and up to 25 percent faster than ABB’s large-size robots (IRB 6700 and IRB 6620), enabling more products to be manufactured in less time. With the excellent position repeatability, path accuracy, and path speed,IRB 5720 is more accurate than other robots, enabling the highest levels of manufacturing quality to be achieved.

LeanID Integrated DressPack increases uptime

By integrating cabling within the body of the robot, ABB’s unique Lean ID Integrated DressPack reduces the problem of swinging cables that can cause wear and tear, reducing downtime and maintenance cost. LeanID makes it easier to program and simulate with predictable cable movements at RobotStudio

Flexible production layout

IRB 5720 has multiple mounting options, including floor, angled, inverted and semi shelf for maximum production layout design flexibility. IRB 5720 offers more mounting options than other robots.

Foundry protections 

The robots also include superior harsh environment protection, Foundry Plus, additional sealant protection for high radiant or contact heat, ensuring higher availability, fewer breakdowns and longer equipment lifetime. The optional protection guards IRB 5720 against the harshest of foundry environments.
