time while moving between tasks. This is possible
due to ABB’s patented second generation QuickMove motion control, combined with the robot’s
strong motors and low friction losses in the spur
gears.
No more cutting corners
At high speed, most robots will cut corners. With
the IRB 1600, the path will be the same regardless
of speed, thanks to the robot’s unique combination
of brains and brawn. Intelligent second generation
True Move motion control means that ”what-youprogram-is-what-you-get”. Add muscle – a heavy
and stiff design – low vibrations and low friction –
and you have a robot that will deliver consistently
high work piece quality, high yield and few rejects.
