Articulated robots: Industrial robots with multiple rotary joints (typically 4-6 axes) that mimic a human arm's flexibility, enabling complex, multi-directional movements with high precision and reach. They excel in versatile automation tasks like material handling, welding (arc/spot), assembly, machine tending, picking/packing, palletizing, cutting, dispensing, inspection, and polishing common in manufacturing, automotive, logistics, and electronics ↗
Small Robots: Compact 6-axis robots with payloads up to 12kg and reach under 1.4m, ideal for precision tasks in tight spaces like electronics assembly, pick-and-place, machine tending, inspection, and miniaturized manufacturing (Variants: IRB 1010, IRB 1090, IRB 1100, IRB 1200 (Hygienic, Next Generation), IRB 1300) ↗
Medium Robots: Balanced 6-axis robots with payloads 12-60kg and reach 1.4-2.5m, suited for general material handling, welding, assembly, palletizing, and machine tending in mid-scale production (Variants: IRB 1600, IRB 2600, IRB 4600, IRB 1520ID) ↗
Large Robots: Heavy-duty 6-axis robots with payloads 60-600kg+ and reach over 2.5m, designed for demanding tasks like heavy palletizing, large part handling, spot welding, and foundry operations (Variants: IRB 6700, IRB 7600, IRB 7700) ↗
Collaborative robots (cobots): Designed to work safely alongside humans without physical barriers, using advanced sensors, power/force limiting, and safe speed modes for shared workspaces. They prioritize safety (e.g., SafeMove2, torque sensing, collision detection) while delivering industrial-grade speed, precision, and ease of programming and the (Variants: GoFa™ (CRB 15000 Series), Single-arm YuMi® (IRB 14050), Dual-arm YuMi® (IRB 14000)) ↗
Delta robots: High-speed, parallel kinematic robots with a fixed base and three (or more) short arms connected via parallelograms, enabling ultra-fast, precise picking and packing of lightweight items in a dome-shaped workspace. They offer unmatched cycle times (up to 200+ picks/min), high repeatability (±0.1mm), and compact footprints, ideal for food packaging, sorting, assembly, and logistics tasks like random bin picking (Variants: IRB 360 FlexPicker, IRB 365 FlexPicker, IRB 390 FlexPacker) ↗
ABB SCARA robots: 4-axis industrial robots (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) with horizontal arm flexibility and vertical rigidity, optimized for rapid, precise pick-and-place, assembly, and handling in compact workspaces (IRB 910INV, IRB 920T, IRB 920, IRB 930) ↗
ABB Palletizing Robots: Specialized 4-axis industrial robots optimized for fast, reliable end-of-line palletizing and depalletizing in logistics and manufacturing (Variants: IRB 460, IRB 660, IRB 760, IRB 7700) ↗
ABB Mobile Robots: Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) designed for flexible intralogistics, transporting loads autonomously via advanced navigation (SLAM, laser) without fixed paths or infrastructure. They automate material flow in warehouses, factories, and logistics, handling pallets, trolleys, and containers safely alongside humans
