1.1.1 Introduction

Robot family
The IRB 6620 is ABB Robotics' latest generation of high payload, high performance
industrial robots.
Based on the famous IRB 6600 robot family, with the highly flexible bending
backwards concept, the very high wrist torque, the service friendly modular built up
and the very high availability, significant for ABB's robots, the IRB 6620 goes even
further, towards the excellence as a flexible tooling in automatic manufacturing.
With a focus on the very high production capacity, the compact design with an
extremely low weight, the highly flexible mounting, the simple service and the low
maintenance cost, the IRB 6620 is the most profitable alternative in automation of
for example Spot Welding, Material Handling and Machine Tending applications.
Software product range
We have added a range of software products - all falling under the umbrella designa-
tion of Active Safety - to protect not only personnel in the unlikely event of an acci-
dent, but also robot tools, peripheral equipment and the robot itself.
Operating system
The robot is equipped with the operating system RobotWare RW. RobotWare RW
controls every aspect of the robot, like motion control, development and execution
of application programs, communication etc. see Product specification - Controller
IRC5 with FlexPendant.
Additional functionality
For additional functionality, the robot can be equipped with optional software for
application support - for example spot welding, communication features - network
communication - and advanced functions such as multi-tasking, sensor control, etc.
For a complete description on optional software, see Product specification -
Controller software IRC5.
Foundry Plus
The robot version Foundry Plus is designed for harsh environments and have special
surface treatment and paint for excellent corrosion protection. The connectors are
designed for severe environments, and bearings, gears and other sensitive parts are
highly protected. The robots have the Foundry Plus protection which means that the
whole manipulator is IP67 classified and steam washable.
