ABB has expanded its robot technology range with the release of the new IRB120T, a variant of the IRB120. While keeping its trademark compact, agile and lightweight features, the new six-axis variant delivers a substantial increase in the maximum speeds of axis 4, 5 and 6, resulting in cycle time improvements of up to 25 per cent.

This agile and ultra-fast robot also provides industry benchmark accuracy with a repeatability of 0.01mm. It can also be mounted at any angle, either in a cell, on top of a machine or close to other robots on the manufacturing line.

The robot comes with the ABB IRC5 Compact control, including superior path motion, user friendly FlexPendant programming, RobotStudio offline programming, flexible RAPID language and powerful communication capabilities.

The new robot and the IRC5 controller are fully supported by the ABB Robotics’ global sales and service organisation in 53 countries and over 100 locations.
