ABB IRB 6730 S 180/3.50 LID

Robot details

The ABB IRB 6730 S‑180/3.50 LID is a heavy‑duty 6‑axis industrial robot, designed in the Shelf (S) configuration and equipped with LID (Load Integrated Drive) technology to deliver enhanced rigidity, smoother dynamics, and compact system integration. Built on ABB’s proven IRB 6700 platform, this robot is optimized for demanding applications that require long reach, high payload capacity, and overhead or side mounting.

With a maximum payload of 180 kg and an extended reach of 3,500 mm, the IRB 6730 S‑180/3.50 LID is ideal for large work envelopes, long transfer distances, and handling of bulky and heavy components. The Load Integrated Drive architecture improves force distribution and reduces external drive components, resulting in stable motion, improved accuracy, and increased system reliability, even under continuous high‑duty operation.

Powered by the ABB IRC5 controller, the robot fully exploits ABB’s advanced motion technologies such as TrueMove™ and QuickMove™, ensuring precise trajectory control, synchronized axis movements, and optimized cycle times. The combination of Shelf mounting and LID technology maximizes floor space efficiency, simplifies maintenance, and lowers total cost of ownership.

The ABB IRB 6730 S‑180/3.50 LID is an excellent solution for manufacturers seeking long‑reach, shelf‑mounted heavy automation with modern drive technology and proven ABB industrial performance.
