ABB IRB 6720 240/2.65

Robot details

The ABB IRB 6720‑240/2.65 is a heavy‑duty 6‑axis industrial robot, engineered to deliver very high payload capacity, excellent rigidity, and reliable precision in demanding industrial environments. As part of ABB’s proven IRB 6700 series, this robot is designed for continuous operation where strength, stability, and accuracy are essential.

With a maximum payload of 240 kg and a reach of 2,650 mm, the IRB 6720‑240/2.65 is ideally suited for heavy material handling, automotive body handling, machine tending, and manipulation of large or bulky components. Its reinforced mechanical structure and optimized arm geometry ensure smooth motion, stable path accuracy, and consistent repeatability, even at full 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 movements, and reduced cycle times. The relatively compact footprint for its payload class allows efficient integration into space‑constrained heavy automation cells.

The ABB IRB 6720‑240/2.65 is an ideal solution for manufacturers seeking powerful, reliable heavy‑payload automation based on a proven ABB industrial platform.
