ABB IRB 6730 240/2.90

Robot details

The ABB IRB 6730‑240/2.90 is a heavy‑duty 6‑axis industrial robot, designed to deliver high payload capability, extended reach, and exceptional rigidity for demanding industrial environments. As part of ABB’s proven IRB 6700 series, this robot is optimized for continuous high‑duty cycles where strength, stability, and reliability are essential.

With a maximum payload of 240 kg and an extended reach of 2,900 mm, the IRB 6730‑240/2.90 is ideal for heavy material handling, automotive body‑in‑white (BIW) operations, press tending, 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 when operating at full payload across a wide working envelope.

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. Despite its high payload and long reach, the robot maintains a compact footprint relative to its class, allowing efficient integration into modern heavy‑automation cells.

The ABB IRB 6730‑240/2.90 represents a reliable solution for manufacturers seeking long‑reach heavy automation with proven ABB industrial performance.
