When to pick which
Choose the ABB IRB 1300 for high-speed electronics assembly or light-duty pick-and-place operations where floor space is at a premium. Its compact footprint and 11kg payload capacity make it ideal for small-part handling and machine tending in constrained production cells. If your facility requires rapid cycle times for lightweight components, the IRB 1300’s agility and 1400mm reach provide the necessary precision without the massive infrastructure requirements of larger units. Integration via ROS2 and RAPID allows for flexible deployment in modern, software-driven manufacturing environments where cost-efficiency and speed are the primary drivers.
Select the ABB IRB 6700 for heavy-duty industrial applications such as automotive spot welding, large-scale palletizing, or material handling of bulky components. With a massive 300kg payload capacity and a reach extending up to 3.2 meters, this robot is designed for demanding environments where structural strength and high-load accuracy are non-negotiable. It is the superior choice for press automation or 3D printing of large structures where the IRB 1300’s reach would fall short. The IRB 6700’s robust 1250kg frame ensures stability during high-torque tasks, making it the standard for high-volume, heavy-industrial production lines.
