GLOBAL power and automation technology group ABB has launched its smallest ever multipurpose industrial robot, the compact, agile and lightweight six-axis IRB 120.
Available with a new compact version of the popular IRC5 controller, the robot weighs just 25kg and can handle a payload of 3kg (4kg with vertical wrist) with a reach of 580mm.
Features include a stroke of 411mm and the ability to reach 112mm below its own base as well as a compact turning radius on axis 1 to allow the robot to be mounted in close proximity to its application.
The robot also comes with the IRC5 Compact controller featuring QuickMove & TrueMove motion control software offering superior path motion, user friendly FlexPendant programming, flexible RAPID language and powerful communication capabilities.
In addition, the Compact controller also enables easy commissioning through the one-phase power input, external connectors for all signals and a built in expandable 16 in, 16 out, I/O system.
It also supports the use of RobotStudio for offline programming and Remote Service for on-line condition monitoring.
