The All-round Winning Athlete Robust – Harsh production environment

The IRB 1600 is a fast and strong bending backwards robot
– the answer to important market demands. Designed to be
cost optimal, the IRB 1600 is as masterful in arc welding as
in die casting, machine tending, material handling, injection
moulding, assembly and packaging. Being a flexible all-
rounder, the IRB 1600 is nonetheless a keen specialist with
competitive edge in each application.
The built in second generation of TrueMove™
and QuickMove™ substantially improves the path accuracy
and cycle time of the IRB 1600. This software also supervises
internal robot loads, which means reduced risk of overload
and longer robot lifetime.
Strong – Maximized utilization
Payload options are 6 or 8 kg (up to 12 kg with “wrist down”).
This makes the IRB 1600 the strongest robot in its class, of-
fering maximized utilization.
IP 67 classed, and “Foundry Plus” optional, the IRB 1600 is
resistant against harsh production environments.
Flexible integration and production
Bending backwards concept and different mounting options
(wall, floor, inverted or tilted mounting) make the IRB 1600 a
versatile robot, ready to meet the highest demands on flexible
integration and production.
When wall mounted the IRB 1600-8 gets a substantially
improved working range for axis 1 with +/- 60°.
For arc welding you have the option of IRB 1600ID with inte-
grated arc welding hose package. For details, please go to
separate data sheet.
Smart – High production efficiency
Building compact and efficient cells, up to four robots can be
independently operated from the same controller.
