Frequently Asked Questions
The 20% reduction in total cost of ownership comes from longer service intervals, reduced maintenance needs, extended component life, higher productivity through better cycle times, and lower energy consumption - all while delivering proven reliability.
The IRB 6700 comes standard with Foundry Plus 2 protection, making it ideal for harsh foundry environments with extreme heat, dust, and spatter. The robust design and extended service intervals minimize downtime in demanding conditions.
Over 7 payload variants from 150 kg to 300 kg are available with multiple reach options, giving manufacturers exceptional flexibility to match their specific application requirements.
LeanID eliminates cable sway, reduces cable and hose wear, extends service intervals, enables accurate offline programming, and supports faster changeovers - all critical benefits in high-throughput production lines.
Yes, the IRB 6700 can handle both precision and high-volume welding. Its positioning repeatability of 0.05 mm ensures consistent weld quality, making it suitable for automotive body welding and other critical applications.
The IRB 6700 is primarily controlled through OmniCore controllers for advanced features, or IRC5 systems for proven technology. Choice depends on your system architecture, integration needs, and technology roadmap.
