    IRB 1200 is a high-performance small robot family that improves productivity and efficiency across electronics, general industries, automotive electronics, and consumer industries. Available in four variants with payloads of 11, 15, 17, and 20 lb (5, 7, 8, and 9 kg), it offers class-leading capacity for handling larger or heavier parts.

    Powered by the OmniCore controller, the robots deliver motion control with path accuracy to 0.6 mm (0.02 in) and pose repeatability down to 0.011 mm, even at speeds up to 63 in/s (1,600 mm/s). A 5% faster cycle time helps boost throughput in complex tasks such as surface finishing, assembly, and dispensing. The design is 20% lighter than the previous generation, reducing pedestal mounting costs and energy consumption while enabling more compact installation. Users can also access AI-powered tools, including RobotStudio, RobotStudio AI Assistant, and AppStudio, for ease of use.
