IRB 4600 is a highly productive general-purpose robot optimized for short cycle times, where compact robots can help create high-density cells. The IRB 4600 enables more compact manufacturing cells with increased production output and higher quality, leading to improved productivity.
Thanks to the new compact and optimized design resulting in a low weight, the IRB 4600 can cut the cycle times of the industry benchmark by up to 25%. The maximum acceleration achievable is the highest in its class, along with high maximum speeds. With the high acceleration, it is possible to avoid obstacles or follow the path, resulting in increased production capacity and higher productivity.
You can position the IRB 4600 in the most favorable way with regard to reach, cycle time, and auxiliary equipment. Flexible mounting with floor, tilted, semi-shelf, or inverted mounting is very useful when simulating the best position for your application.
The small footprint, the slim swing base radius around axis 1, the fine elbow behind axis 3, the small lower and upper arms, and the compact wrist all contribute to the most compact robot in its class. With the IRB 4600, you can create your production cell with reduced floor space by placing the robot closer to the served machines, which also increases your output and productivity.
ABB has the most comprehensive protection program on the market, which is further enhanced with the IRB 4600. Foundry Plus includes IP 67, resistant paint, rust-protected mounting flange, protection for molten metal spits on non-moving cables on the rear of the robot, and extra protection plates over the floor cable connections on the foot.
