ABB IRB 5500-27 PAINTING
The ABB IRB 5500-27 painting robot is a new variant of the innovative IRB 5500 robot family. It features 7 integrated axes that allow for a larger working range and a flexible installation position, making it capable of supporting both interior and exterior painting of automobiles as well as other painting applications.
Some of the key features of the IRB 5500-27 are:
- Designed to be a universal backup on the mobile line and an enhanced solution on the stop-start line, the IRB 5500-27 offers the flexibility and reach to accommodate various car body sizes, which can reduce the number of robots needed on a paint line.
- This increased flexibility combined with the ability to adjust the robot installation position reduces cycle times.
- In addition, the integration of ABB's dynamic model to control all axes reduces energy consumption, increases accuracy and ensures synchronized and balanced robot motion.
- The IRB 5500-27 features compact and lightweight paint application components that allow paint control equipment, such as pumps, to be placed as close as 15 cm from the wrist. This reduces paint and solvent waste during color change significantly.
- The IRB 5500-27 has standard solutions that support color change valves for up to 32* circulating colors, integrated into the robot process arm. It also features two pumps, driven by integrated servo motors, 64 pilot valves, dual air-form atomizer control with closed-loop regulation, closed-loop regulation of disk speed and high-voltage control, all fully integrated.
- The IRB 5500-27 is equipped with the IRC5P control system, specifically designed for the paint shop. With the IPS (Integrated Process System), the user-friendly, Ex-certified FlexPaint Pendant and RobView 5, it is a combination of standardized functions for the paint shop to suit specific needs.
The ABB IRB 5500-27 painting robot uses the IRC5P control system, specifically designed for the paint shop.
The IRC5P integrates control of the painting process and control of the robot's motion, allowing for energy savings, increased precision and perfect robot synchronization.
The IRC5P features the IPS (Integrated Process System), the user-friendly and Ex-certified FlexPaint Pendant and RobView 5, which are standardized functions for the painting facility to suit specific needs.
RobView 5 can also be a component in a larger cell control HMI, such as ABB FlexUI or other.Number of axes 7 Payload on wrist 13 kg Degree of protection IP66 (wrist IP54) Mounting Wall, floor, inverted Controller IRC5P Paint Ex approval Explosion protected Ex i/Ex p/ Ex c for installation in hazardous area Zone 1 & Zone 21 (Europe) and Division I, Class I & II.

Automotive interior painting: the robot can paint the interior surfaces of doors, roof, dashboard, steering wheel, seats and other vehicle interior components. The robot can access hard-to-reach areas and apply a uniform coat of paint with high quality and efficiency.
Automotive exterior painting: The robot can paint the exterior surfaces of the body, hood, trunk, trunk, bumpers, mirrors, wheels and other components of the vehicle exterior. The robot can follow the contour of the bodywork and apply a coat of paint with high precision and speed.
Painting of small and medium-sized parts: The robot can paint parts of different shapes, sizes and materials, such as plastic, metal, wood, glass, etc. The robot can adjust the pressure, flow and angle of the paint according to the characteristics of the part and the type of paint. The robot can paint parts with different colors and effects, such as matte, glossy, metallic, pearlescent, etc.
