Increasing Dress Pack Lifetimes



ABB Robotics' IRB 6700 is available with LeanID, a dressing package that integrates the most exposed parts of the dress pack into the robot, making it easier to program, providing a more compact footprint and expanding cable life due to less wear and tear.

The fully integrated spot welding function package features an electric servo gun with parallel arm movements controlled by the IRC5 robot controller. ABB electrode tip dressers are available for a wide range of both horizontal and vertical dressings. The parallel arm movement enhances the rigidity of the arms to help ensure process quality, offering a wide range of welding solutions to meet a variety of spot weld applications.

The IRB 6700 is designed to withstand the harshest working environments and is available with ABB's ultimate Foundry Plus 2 protection system. "In addition to enhanced speed, payload and accuracy, the power consumption has been lowered by 15%, total cost of ownership has been reduced by up to 20% and maintenance has been optimized, doubling the time between service intervals, compared to comparable robot models," said a company spokesperson.
