This is the 150kg capacity version of the popular IRB 6000. By uprating the axis 4 motor and changes to software the 150kg 6000 can handle 30kg more than standard. This comes will little or no diffence in any other parameter.
The ABB IRB 6000 is among one of the best value used industrial robots available today. Installed worldwide in great numbers these reliable workhorses have been used for many applications with great success. Setting the benchmarks for today's industrial robots the standard IRB 6000 has an impressive 2.4m reach and 120kg capacity. With speeds of up to 2.5 meters per second and only requiring minimal maintenance the IRB 6000 is an excellent choice. The S3 controller is straightforward and user friendly. Using the well liked ARLA programming language this robot is not only easy to program but offers good expandability. Usually supplied with 32 Inputs and 32 Outputs this can be increased to 96 In and 96 out and have the option of analogue I/O for applications such as sealing etc.
The IRB 6000 is also relatively straightforward to install. It has the computing power and built in safety to run a basic cell itself without the additional expense of PLC's and HMI's. Where they are required the S3 cabinet provides the space and connectivity to allow easy integration.
Making extensive use of planetary gears the IRB 6000 arm is remarkable both for its simplicity and its reliability. The 6 axis robotic arm uses brush maintainence maintainece free Siemens AC servo motors. The robot is modular in design an its structural elements are all rigid steel casings and all bearings and cables are integrated and enclosed. As standard all 6 axis have electromechanical brakes which are applied when de-energised.
The IRB 6000 has a position resolution of 0.25mm and an accuracy of <+-0.4mm. The lifespan of an IRB 6000 depends a great deal good service practice (although just once a year is normal) but we have seen examples in excellent condition showing excellent accuracy and noiseless operation with over 70,000 hours use. It is expected that 100,000 hours should be reached without any major problems.
