ABB IRB 5350 PAINTING

The IRB 5350 has the following main features:

• It has two versions: a three-axis version for stop-and-go solutions, and a four-axis version for mobile in-line solutions.
• It has an IP66 protection rating, which means it is dust and water resistant.
• It has a maximum load of 7 kg and a position repeatability of 0.02 mm.
• It has a movement speed of up to 1920 mm/s on the rail axis, allowing it to move throughout the spray booth.
• It uses ABB's QuickMove™ / TrueMove™ technology, which allows it to perform a door opening cycle in 3 seconds, including approach, fetch, grasp, open, release, etc.
• It is controlled by the IRC5P robot controller, which can also control other ABB painting robots, facilitating integration and programming.

The IRB 5350 painting robot uses the IRC5P robot controller, which is an ABB product. The IRC5P is a compact and flexible controller that can control up to four ABB painting robots, including the IRB 5350. The IRC5P has the following main features:

- It has an intuitive and easy-to-use user interface, called FlexPainter, which allows programming and monitoring of painting operations.
- It has a memory capacity of 1 GB and a hard disk of 80 GB, allowing it to store and run complex programs.
- It has fast and secure communication with the robots, using the Ethernet Powerlink protocol.
- It has a remote diagnostic function, which allows accessing the controller from anywhere and solving possible problems.
- It has a power saving function, which reduces electricity consumption when the controller is not in use.

The IRC5P robot controller is an intelligent and powerful device that optimizes the performance and efficiency of the IRB 5350 painting robot.

The IRB 5350 painting robot has two variants: a three-axis and a four-axis variant.

The three-axis variant is for stop-and-go solutions, the robot stops to paint a part of the car and then moves to another position.

The four-axis variant is for moving line solutions, i.e., the robot moves along a lane while painting the interior of the car. Both variants have the same maximum load, repeatability and degree of protection, but the four-axis variant has a higher speed of movement along the rail axis.

The IRB 5350 painting robot is primarily used for automotive interior paint application, opening and closing doors quickly and accurately. According to ABB's website, this robot is designed to assist other painting robots in automotive interior painting, both for stop-and-go and mobile in-line solutions. Some of the applications that can be performed with the IRB 5350 are:

• Painting the door frame, door panel, B-pillar and headliner of the car.
• Painting the car's dashboard, center console, steering wheel and seats.
• Paint the trunk, hood, bumper and headlights of the car.
