ABB IRB 6790 235/2.65

Robot details

The ABB IRB 6790‑235/2.65 is a compact, very heavy‑duty 6‑axis industrial robot, engineered to deliver exceptional payload capacity within a reduced footprint. Part of ABB’s proven IRB 6700 series, the IRB 6790 is optimized for applications where high lifting capability, rigidity, and space efficiency are critical.

With a maximum payload of 235 kg and a reach of 2,650 mm, the IRB 6790‑235/2.65 is ideal for heavy material handling, automotive body‑in‑white (BIW) handling, press tending, machine loading, and dense automation cells. Its compact arm geometry and rigid mechanical structure ensure excellent stiffness, smooth motion, and stable path accuracy, even during continuous high‑duty industrial operation.

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 optimized cycle times. The compact design allows high‑density robot layouts, maximizing productivity while minimizing required floor space.

The ABB IRB 6790‑235/2.65 is the ideal solution for manufacturers seeking very high payload performance combined with compact installation and proven ABB industrial reliability.
