IRB1660ID

High-performance ID robot designed for arc welding and machine tending.
ABB's IRB 1660ID is the preferred choice when you need shorter cycle times, exceptional versatility, and a compact yet powerful wrist.

Outstanding Weld Quality:

The demand for superior quality in arc welding has grown, necessitating better wire feeding control near the welding arc to ensure high-volume production.
The IRB 1660ID boasts a more robust and rigid upper arm capable of lifting up to 6 kg to support heavier torches.
This, coupled with ABB's TrueMoveTM technology and the new "Accuracy mode" motion process, delivers a remarkable 0.05 mm path repeatability for impeccable welding results.

Safe Robot Movements Enable High-Density Cells:

Leveraging RobotStudio®, ABB's premier offline robot software programming tool, the IRB 1660ID allows robot programmers to envision high-density cells where multiple robots can weld closely together while minimizing workpiece heat distortions.
RobotStudio simulations ensure secure robot movements with maximum speed and accelerations, guaranteeing predictable and minimal cycle times.
These high-density cells can optimize your production output, deliver top-quality parts, and operate with unparalleled reliability.

Up to 10% Shorter Cycle Times:

The IRB 1660ID's new compact wrist, equipped with powerful motors, facilitates swift and dependable movements without hindering cable movement, enabling maximum acceleration and speed at all times.
Combined with ABB's QuickMoveTM technology, the IRB 1660ID can reduce cycle times by up to 10% compared to competitors.

Fast, Agile, and Reliable for Machine Tending:

The robot's compact and hollow wrist ensures rapid and reliable movements, allowing it to operate at maximum acceleration and speed without damaging the Integrated DressPack.
It eliminates the risk of collisions in confined spaces and offers exceptional agility within CNC machines, thanks to a combined working range of axes 4, 5, and 6 totaling 1,390°.
The IP67 wrist, cable protection from water, and controlled movements result in up to 50% lower maintenance costs and an extended lifespan.

Simplified Online Programming:

Online programming is made easier through full control of hose packages or cables, a compact 135 mm wrist for faster re-orientations, and 0.30 mm TCP reorientation accuracy (requires the absolute accuracy option) for precise corner re-orientations.
