Maximum working radius: 580 mm

Repeated positioning accuracy: ± 0.01mm

Protection Class: IP30 (Standard)/IP40 (optional)

Installation method: countertop installation, upside down installation, wall hanging

Control system: ABB IRC5 Compact

Body weight: 25 kg

Shaft motion speed:

Axis 1 (base rotation) : 250°/s

Axis 6 (end rotation) : 320°/s

Ⅱ, core advantages

1. High precision and compact design

±0.01mm repetition accuracy: industry-leading accuracy, suitable for precision assembly, inspection, dispensing and other tasks.

Compact volume: small footprint (body only 25kg), suitable for space-limited production lines (such as electronic components production lines).

2. High-speed sports performance

Short beat time: Cycle time <0.4 seconds under light load (such as pick-place task), efficiency is more than 50% higher than manual.

Acceleration optimization: The acceleration of axial motion is up to 15 m/s², which is suitable for high-speed production needs (such as 3C product testing).

3. Flexible deployment and ease of use

Multiple installation methods: Support upside down, wall hanging, suitable for high-density production line layout.

Quick programming:

Guided Programming (QuickMove™) : Manually drag the robot to record the path through the instructor.

Offline programming (RobotStudio) : Simulation software is pre-programmed to reduce downtime.

4. High reliability

MTBF (Mean time to Failure) : >75,000 hours, low maintenance costs.

Modular design: Core components (motor, reducer) can be quickly replaced and easy to maintain.

Ⅲ. Typical application scenarios

1. Precision assembly for electronics industry

Scenario: Mobile phone camera module assembly, PCB board components insertion.

Solution: IRB 120 + visual positioning system (such as ABB Vision), accuracy up to ±0.01mm.

Case: A mobile phone manufacturer uses IRB 120 to assemble micro screws, and the yield is increased to 99.99%.

2. High-speed sorting and loading and unloading of small parts

Scene: Medicine capsule sorting, watch parts processing center loading and unloading.

Solution: With vacuum suction cup or pneumatic claw, beat time <0.5 seconds/piece.

3. Detection and measurement

Scenario: Precision part size inspection and semiconductor chip appearance inspection.

Solution: Integrated laser rangefinder or high-resolution camera to support real-time data feedback.

4. Dispensing and coating

Scene: Electronic component sealing dispensing, LED lamp bead coating.

Solution: Suitable for micro-dispensing valve (such as Nordson), the precision of glue control is ±0.005ml.

5. Laboratory automation

Scene: Experimental sample packaging, reagent transport.

Solution: IP40 protected version, suitable for clean room environment.

Ⅳ. Technical details and innovation

IRC5 Compact controller

High integration: The controller volume is only 1/3 of the traditional model, and supports Ethernet/IP and Profinet communication protocols.

Safety features: Support SafeMove2 (Safe speed monitoring, area restriction), compliant with ISO 10218 standards.

Energy-saving characteristics

Standby power consumption <50W, running power consumption <300W (full load), 20% energy saving than similar robots.

Ecological compatibility

Support ROS (Robot Operating System) interface for scientific research and customized development. 

Seamless integration with peripherals such as ABB FlexLoader™ (Flexible Loading System)

Ⅴ. Comparison of competitive products

IRB 120 Benefits:

Highest accuracy: ±0.01mm, suitable for ultra-precision scenes.

Minimum volume: body weight is only 25kg, suitable for space-sensitive scenarios.

Cost performance: The entry cost is lower than that of similar competitors.
