ABB IRB 6720 170/3.10

Robot details

The ABB IRB 6720‑170/3.10 is a heavy‑duty 6‑axis industrial robot, engineered to deliver high payload capacity, extended reach, and outstanding rigidity for demanding industrial applications. As part of ABB’s proven IRB 6700 series, it is designed for continuous high‑duty operation where reliability, precision, and structural strength are critical.

With a maximum payload of 170 kg and an extended reach of 3,100 mm, the IRB 6720‑170/3.10 is ideal for heavy material handling, automotive body‑in‑white (BIW) handling, machine tending, and manipulation of large or bulky components over wide work areas. Its reinforced mechanical structure and optimized arm geometry ensure smooth motion, stable path accuracy, and consistent repeatability, even at maximum reach and payload.

Powered by the ABB IRC5 controller, the robot benefits from ABB’s advanced motion technologies such as TrueMove™ and QuickMove™, enabling precise trajectory control, synchronized axis motion, and reduced cycle times. Despite its high payload and long reach, the IRB 6720‑170/3.10 maintains a compact footprint relative to its class, allowing efficient integration into modern heavy‑automation cells.

The ABB IRB 6720‑170/3.10 is an ideal solution for manufacturers seeking long‑reach heavy‑payload automation based on a robust and proven ABB platform.
