The IRB 120 robot is the latest addition to ABB’s new fourth-generation of robotic technology and ABB’s smallest robot ever produced. Ideal for material handling and assembly applications, the new IRB 120 robot provides an agile,
compact and lightweight solution with superior control and path accuracy.

Compact and lightweight
As the smallest robot from ABB, the IRB 120 offers all the functionality and expertise of the ABB range in a much smaller package. Its reduced weight of only 25kg and compact design enables it to be mounted virtually anywhere, whether it is inside a cell, on top of a machine or close to other robots on the production line.

Multipurpose
Ideal for a wide range of industries including the electronic,
food and beverage, machinery, solar, pharmaceutical, medical and research sectors, the IRB120 joins ABB’s fourth-generation of new robotic technology.

Optimized working range
In addition to a horizontal reach of 580mm, the robot has
best in class stroke and the ability to reach 112mm below its
base. Furthermore, the IRB 120 has a very compact turning radius, which is enabled by the robots symmetric architecture, without offset on axis 2. This ensures the robot can be mounted close to other equipment and the slim wrist enables the arm to reach closer to its application.
