As a result of this, the castings differ between IRB 1200 and IRB 1200 Type A. Note IRB 1200 Type B is designed based on IRB 1200 Type A so that Type B has the bushings for installation of calibration tools too.

Battery pack • SMB unit (replacing EIB unit) IRB 1200 Type B is designed based on IRB 1200 Type A so that Type B has the bushings for installation of calibration tools too. How to know which type the robot is? The type label on the base of the robot tells if the robot supports SafeMove 2.

1 Description 1.1.2 The robot 1.1.2 The robot General The IRB 1200 is available in two versions and both can be mounted on floor, inverted or on wall in any angle (around X-axis or Y-axis). Robot type Handling capacity (kg)
1.3.1 Introduction to installation General IRB 1200 is adapted for normal industrial environment. Depending on robot variant, an end effector with max. weight of 5 or 7 kg, including payload, can be mounted on the robot’s mounting flange (axis 6). Other equipment, weighing a maximum of 0.3 kg, can be mounted on the upper arm.
Otherwise there is a risk that the robot stops or run with lower performance due to temperature dependent oil and grease viscosity. For robots with food grade lubrication, if environment temperature > 35ºC, contact ABB for further information.
Control of load case by "RobotLoad" To easily control a specific load case, use the calculation program ABB RobotLoad. Contact your local ABB organization for more information. The result from RobotLoad is only valid within the maximum loads and tilt angles.

Warranty Description For the selected period of time, ABB will provide spare parts and labour to repair or replace the non-conforming portion of the equipment without additional charges. During that period, it is required to have a yearly Preventative Maintenance according to ABB manuals to be performed by ABB.
