ABB IRB 1300 small six-axis industrial robot designed for confined spaces

ABB expands its family of small six-axis industrial robots with the launch of the IRB 1300.

The robot is available in three main versions: 11 kg/0.9 m, 10 kg/1.15m and 7 kg/1.4 m. The 11kg payload for the 0.9 m reach variant is higher than any other competing robot in its class.

Powered by ABB’s OmniCore™ controller, it offers advanced motion control and best-in-class path accuracy, allowing it to handle an expanded range of applications such as polishing and machine tending. The OmniCore controller can be equipped with a range of additional equipment, including fieldbus protocols, vision solutions and force control. OmniCore also offers a simple user inter-face on the intuitive FlexPendant, which features a large multi-touch display with standard gestures such as pinch, swipe and tap allowing users to quickly get to grips with programming and operating their robot.

The robot includes 20 Input/Output ports to be used with more sophisticated grippers or end-effectors. Supplied with IP40 ingress protection as standard, the IRB 1300 has the option of IP67 protection against solid particles and water ingress, or Foundry Plus2, designed to protect against the extremely harsh conditions in foundries and other metal processing plants. It can also be supplied to IPA Clean Room protection standard.
