Frequently Asked Questions

The IRB 1100 excels in assembly & testing, loading/unloading, screwdriving, polishing, grinding, buffing, and deburring applications. Its compact size, high speed, and precision make it ideal for electronics manufacturing, consumer goods, and precision engineering where space is limited.

Through optimized mechanical design, advanced OmniCore motion control with TrueMove for precision and QuickMove for speed optimization, and efficient servo systems. These improvements enable faster acceleration and movement without sacrificing accuracy.

Yes, the compact footprint allows multiple IRB 1100 robots to be deployed simultaneously in a single cell for collaborative automation operations. They can work together with synchronized movements for complex assembly tasks requiring more than one robot arm.

All variants share the same compact design and 580mm reach. The payload variants allow selection based on your specific application weight requirements. Higher payload variants may have slightly different speed characteristics but maintain the same compact footprint.

The 20% weight reduction means lighter mounting structures, simpler pedestal requirements, and lower installation costs. Combined with reduced energy consumption, it lowers overall total cost of ownership while maintaining the same performance level as heavier competitors.

Yes, the IRB 1100 is designed for continuous industrial operation. Its robust construction, OmniCore controller reliability, and extended service intervals make it suitable for round-the-clock manufacturing environments with minimal downtime.
