2. Top 5 Industrial Applications of IRB 6700

1. Automotive Body-in-White (BIW) Welding

• Spot welding up to 1.5 cycles/min with 0.1mm precision.
• Case Study: Toyota reduced weld defects by 30% using IRB 6700-200 with adaptive seam tracking.

2. Foundry & Die Casting

• Handling molten metal molds (up to 300°C) with heat-resistant EOAT.
• Integrated vision systems for defect detection in cast parts.

3. Aerospace Component Handling

• Drilling & riveting aircraft fuselage panels (±0.05mm tolerance).
• Collaborative mode for human-robot teamwork in assembly.

4. Palletizing Heavy Loads

• Stacking 300kg engine blocks with ABB PalletWare software.

5. Press Tending

• Feeding blanks into stamping presses at 60+ parts/minute.

3. IRB 6700 Manual: Critical Operating Guidelines

A. Safety Protocols

• Risk Assessment: Always verify load inertia before programming high-speed moves.
• Emergency Stop Zones: Map restricted areas in RobotStudio’s SafeMove.

B. Programming Workflow

1. Path Planning: Use ABB RobotStudio to simulate trajectories offline.
2. RAPID Coding: Leverage force control commands (e.g., SearchL) for adaptive assembly.
3. I/O Configuration: Integrate with PLCs via PROFINET/EtherNet/IP.

C. Maintenance Checklist

• Daily: Inspect cables and gearbox seals for wear.
• Monthly: Lubricate axis-2 and axis-3 gears with Kluber grease.
• Annual: Replace balancer gas springs (GA200 model).

4. IRB 6700 vs. Competitors

Verdict: The IRB 6700 dominates in payload, precision, and smart motion control.
