ABB IRB 8700-550/4.20 ultra-heavy 6-axis articulated robot with OmniCore controller

ABB IRB 8700-550/4.20 with OmniCore controller is a ultra-heavy 6-axis articulated robot from the IRB 8700 family. This variant is configured for a rated payload of 550 kg, a maximum reach of 4200 mm and 6 controlled axes.

The IRB 8700 is ABB’s largest articulated robot class in the OmniCore portfolio, designed for the highest payload requirements in heavy manufacturing.

The Maximum reach configuration should be selected against the exact payload, tool center of gravity, inertia, mounting position and process environment. The stated wrist payload is a nominal value and the final usable load must always be validated with ABB load data and the complete end-effector design.

Controller compatibility: this record is grouped in the CMS under OmniCore. The compatible controller variants for this model are listed as OmniCore V400XT. The final controller cabinet, RobotWare version, safety package, fieldbus options, additional axes and process software should be checked for the exact ABB order code.

Typical applications

• advanced manufacturing
• handling of parts
• loading and unloading of parts
• press tending
• machining

For a Eurobots project, ABB IRB 8700-550/4.20 can be evaluated for new automation cells, refurbished robot projects, replacement studies, feasibility tests and controller-standardization work. Final engineering approval should be based on the exact ABB mechanical unit, environmental option, load diagram and OmniCore controller configuration.
