Integrated Dressing Welding Robot for High-Quality Arc Welding
The IRB 1520ID is a compact 6-axis robot designed specifically for arc welding. It features integrated process dressing through the upper arm and base, optimizing media routing for wire feed, shielding gas, and power. With a 4 kg payload and 1.5 m reach, it allows consistent and precise performance in space-constrained welding cells.
Its design is particularly suited for welding cylindrical parts or accessing narrow areas. Powered by the OmniCore platform, it incorporates ABB’s TrueMove™ and QuickMove™ for superior path accuracy and efficient motion. The robot is fully compatible with RobotStudio and Arc Welding PowerPac for offline programming. Built-in safety features include dual-channel supervision, emergency stops, and 3-position enabling devices, making it a reliable solution for automated arc welding environments.
Features:
- 4 kg payload with 1.5 m reach; integrated process dressing
- Compact 6-axis design optimized for arc welding applications
- Path repeatability of 0.35 mm; position repeatability of 0.05 mm
- Fully integrated hose package supports efficient wire, gas, and air routing
