IRB 8700 - ABB's highest payload robot

The IRB 8700 is ABB’s highest payload, multipurpose industrial robot, targeted for material handling applications in the automotive, transportation and other heavy industries.  With a focus on high production capacity, compact design, simple service, and low maintenance cost, the IRB 8700 offers a general purpose robot with the handling capacity and sustainability to meet the heaviest demands.

• The robot has an unusually long reach (3.5 meters) for a robot in its high payload class, and is capable of handling a payload of up to 800 kg (1000 kg with the wrist down; 630 kg with LeanID).
• Designed for the ultimate in uptime, reliability and reduced maintenance, the IRB 8700 provides the lowest total cost of ownership among competitor high payload robot models.
• The IRB 8700 is available in two configurations, one with a reach of 4.2 meters and a payload of 550 kg (620 kg with the wrist down; 475 kg with LeanID), and the other with a reach of 3.5 meters and a payload of 800 kg (1000 kg with the wrist down; 630 kg with LeanID).
• Both configurations are available with LeanID, a cost-effective Integrated Dressing (ID) designed for easier programming, reduced wear and a smaller footprint. Both configurations also have an incredibly high moment of inertia at 725 kgm2.
• Utilizing ABB’s superior motion control technology at high moments of inertia, the new robot automatically adapts and adjusts its speed to accommodate heavy and wide parts. With a compact footprint, optimized counterweight, parallel linkages, stiff axes and fewer drive motors, the IRB 8700 keeps its momentum down and speed up, providing unmatched agility and performance.
