ABB IRB 5720 180/2.60

Robot details

The ABB IRB 5720‑180/2.60 is a next‑generation heavy‑duty 6‑axis industrial robot, designed for very high payload handling, extended reach, and continuous high‑duty operation. Part of ABB’s latest large‑robot platform, the IRB 5720 delivers increased rigidity, improved motion control, and higher energy efficiency compared to previous heavy robot generations.

With a maximum payload of 180 kg and a reach of 2,600 mm, the IRB 5720‑180/2.60 is ideal for heavy material handling, large component manipulation, machine tending, palletizing, and automotive body handling applications. Its reinforced arm structure and powerful drive system ensure smooth motion, high positional stability, and consistent accuracy, even when operating at full load and extended reach.

Powered by the ABB IRC5 controller, the robot leverages ABB’s advanced TrueMove™ and QuickMove™ motion technologies, guaranteeing precise trajectory control, synchronized axis movements, and optimized cycle times. The compact base design relative to its payload class allows efficient integration into modern high‑performance industrial cells.

The ABB IRB 5720‑180/2.60 is the ideal solution for manufacturers requiring very high payload automation with long‑term reliability, safety, and performance.
