In designing the IRB 8700 the focus was on delivering a very reliable robot with a low total cost of ownership. Through a combination of robust design elements, including simpler parts configurations where possible, ABB Robotics applied decades of engineering experience to combine the high performance customers require with low overall maintenance needs.
In addition, the IRB 8700 delivers 25% faster speeds than any other robot in this class size.
