IRB 1200 Next Generation
The IRB 1200 Next Generation is an ultra-high-performance compact industrial robot designed for electronics assembly and precision manufacturing. Available in four payload variants (5, 7, 8, 9 kg) with reach of 0.7-0.9 m, this robot delivers class-leading repeatability of 0.03 mm. The new generation is 20% lighter, reducing mounting costs and energy consumption. With max speed of 1600 mm/s and OmniCore support, it's optimized for high-speed, high-precision assembly, FPC placement, and surface finishing in dense production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
The new generation delivers 20% weight reduction, improved energy efficiency, enhanced speed and precision capabilities, better thermal management, and more flexible integration options. These improvements translate to lower installation costs, reduced operating expenses, and faster cycle times.
Absolutely. With path repeatability of 0.03 mm and pose repeatability of 0.011 mm, the IRB 1200 is ideal for FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) placement, component assembly, micro-welding, and other precision electronics applications where micron-level accuracy is critical.
Lighter weight means less robust mounting pedestals are needed, reducing installation costs. It also allows installation on lighter-duty mounting structures, enables easier relocation if needed, and reduces overall facility load requirements.
Yes, with OmniCore controller support, the IRB 1200 can synchronize with external axes such as linear tracks, positioners, or turntables. This enables complex multi-axis automation while the OmniCore manages coordinated motion.
All ABB robots including the IRB 1200 come with comprehensive warranty coverage. ABB provides 24/7 global technical support through 1,600+ service technicians. Extended warranty and condition-based maintenance services are also available.
Yes, with OmniCore controller options, the IRB 1200 supports all major industrial communication protocols including Ethernet, Profibus, DeviceNet, and EtherCAT, enabling seamless integration with MES and ERP systems.
