Abb robot controller manual full#
The IRB 6620LX can be readily fitted or adapted to existing production lines and the support legs can be configured to suit the system specs and available floor space.ĪBB says unparalleled speed and acceleration on the linear axis secures the shortest possible cycle times with highest possible accuracy, even at large distances and with a full payload.
"The system will foster the development of improved logistics and production concepts while providing tremendous cost savings and ROI opportunities."įor many applications only one robot will be needed to replace the numerous complex material handling components typical of standard linear systems, offering further cost savings and reduced maintenance, the company explains. "The new IRB 6620LX will make it possible to access and manipulate work pieces in the tightest work spaces," said Joe Campbell, vice president of sales and marketing, ABB Robotics, North America. Linear axis of the ABB Robotics IRB 6620LX System can support two robots, each with 6 axes of movement. This inherent flexibility allows the system to be adjusted to serve different applications and enables quick and easy changeovers for improved production uptime. The design saves floor space by elevating the robot(s) over the work area. The linear axis can range in height from 8 ft to 13 ft (2.5 m to 4 m) and in length from 6 ft to 108 ft (1.8 m to 33 m). The linear gantry acts as the first axis of the robot, providing the same agility as a standard 6-axis robot. To merge the articulated and linear technology ABB removed the first rotational axis from the robotic arm, enabling it to be mounted either upside down or sideways on the linear axis. The ability of the system to perform value-added processing tasks in addition to "basic" material handling increases robot productivity while reducing the overall capital investment. The linear axis can support two robots and can serve several stations or machines simultaneously or in programmed coordination, resulting in high productivity and machine utilization.
