ABB IRB 6740 230/3.00 LID
Robot details
The ABB IRB 6740‑230/3.00 LID is a very heavy‑duty 6‑axis industrial robot, designed to deliver high payload capacity, extended reach, and superior rigidity for the most demanding industrial automation tasks. Equipped with LID (Load Integrated Drive) technology, this robot integrates the main drive directly into the robot structure, improving load distribution, reducing external components, and enhancing overall system efficiency.
With a maximum payload of 230 kg and an extended reach of 3,000 mm, the IRB 6740‑230/3.00 LID is ideal for handling large and heavy components, including automotive body‑in‑white (BIW) parts, press tending operations, heavy machine loading, and large material transfer. Its reinforced mechanical structure ensures smooth motion, high positional stability, and consistent path accuracy, even in continuous high‑duty production cycles.
Powered by the ABB IRC5 controller, the robot fully exploits ABB’s advanced motion technologies such as TrueMove™ and QuickMove™, providing precise trajectory control, synchronized axis movements, and optimized cycle times. Thanks to the Load Integrated Drive architecture, the IRB 6740‑230/3.00 LID offers lower maintenance requirements, higher uptime, improved dynamics, and reduced total cost of ownership compared to conventional heavy‑robot solutions.
The ABB IRB 6740‑230/3.00 LID is the ideal choice for manufacturers seeking long‑reach very‑heavy automation with modern drive technology and proven ABB industrial reliability.
