ABB IRB 6790 205/2.80

Robot details

The ABB IRB 6790‑205/2.80 is a compact heavy‑duty 6‑axis industrial robot, designed to deliver high payload capacity combined with extended reach, while maintaining a small footprint. Part of ABB’s proven IRB 6700 series, the IRB 6790 is optimized for applications requiring strong lifting capability, space efficiency, and high reliability.

With a maximum payload of 205 kg and an extended reach of 2,800 mm, the IRB 6790‑205/2.80 is ideal for heavy material handling, automotive body‑in‑white (BIW) handling, press tending, machine loading, and part transfer operations. Its compact arm design and rigid mechanical structure ensure excellent stiffness, smooth motion, and stable path accuracy, even during continuous high‑duty cycles.

Powered by the ABB IRC5 controller, the robot takes full advantage of ABB’s advanced motion technologies such as TrueMove™ and QuickMove™, enabling precise trajectory control, synchronized axis movement, and reduced cycle times. The compact design allows dense robot placement and optimized cell layouts, increasing productivity per square meter.

The ABB IRB 6790‑205/2.80 is the ideal solution for manufacturers seeking high payload performance with extended reach in space‑constrained industrial environments.
