IRB 1700 and IRB 1700ID Robots Move Fast in Tight Spaces

ABB Robotics’ 5-variant robot family runs on OmniCore controllers and also suits electronics work such as AI server rack assembly.

Handling payloads from 13 to 26.5 lb (6 to 12 kg), ABB Robotics' IRB 1700 and IRB 1700ID industrial robots offer path repeatability of 0.0012 in (0.03 mm) with joint speeds up to 700° per second for high-speed welding, finishing, and machine tending. The IRB 1700ID routes cables and hoses inside the arm, and both robots go 20,000 hours between oil changes.
