ABB IRB 6740 270/2.80 LID
Robot details
The ABB IRB 6740‑270/2.80 LID is a very heavy‑duty 6‑axis industrial robot engineered for applications that require extreme payload capacity, high rigidity, and maximum operational reliability. Equipped with LID (Load Integrated Drive) technology, this robot integrates the main drive directly into the robot structure, reducing external components and significantly improving load distribution and system efficiency.
With a maximum payload of 270 kg and a reach of 2,800 mm, the IRB 6740‑270/2.80 LID is ideally suited for handling very large and heavy components, such as automotive body‑in‑white (BIW) parts, press tending, heavy machine loading, and large material transfer operations. Its reinforced mechanical design ensures smooth motion, stable path accuracy, and consistent repeatability, even under continuous high‑duty cycles and maximum load conditions.
Powered by the ABB IRC5 controller, the robot takes full advantage of ABB’s advanced motion technologies TrueMove™ and QuickMove™, providing precise trajectory control, synchronized axis movements, and optimized cycle times. Thanks to the Load Integrated Drive architecture, the robot offers lower maintenance requirements, improved dynamics, enhanced reliability, and reduced total cost of ownership compared to conventional heavy‑robot designs.
The ABB IRB 6740‑270/2.80 LID is the ideal solution for manufacturers seeking very heavy‑payload automation with modern drive technology and proven ABB industrial robustness.
