IRB 6640 – a stronger robot – the next generation
The IRB 6640 is a new generation of large robots, replacing the highly successful IRB 6600.
It’s based on proven components used for IRB 6600, which ensures easier maintenance and exchangeability as well as a high up time.
IRB 6640 comes in different arm lengths and matching handling capacities.
IRB 6640ID, Internal Dressing, has its process cables routed inside the upper arm. The cables follow every motion of the robot arm instead of coming into swing in irregular patterns.

The IRB 6640 is adaptive for various applications
Upper arm extenders and different wrist modules allow customization to each process. As the robot can bend fully backwards, the working range is greatly extended and the robot fits well into dense production lines. Typical application areas are material handling, machine tending and spot welding.
The robot is also available with different options for different working environments, such as Foundry Plus, Foundry Prime and Clean Room.

Higher payload - lower weight
One of the strongest benefits of IRB 6640 is the increased handling capacity. For the IRB 6640ID, the payload is increased from 185 to 200 kg, which meets the requirements from the heaviest spot welding applications.
The maximum payload is 235 kg, which makes the robot suitable for many heavy material handling applications. The robot also follows the tradition of having outstanding inertia capabilities, which makes it possible to handle not only heavy but also wide parts. Collision resistance is also a great feature ABB robots are well known for.

Easy maintenance and installation
There are several new features in the area of service, such as simplified fork lift pockets and more space in the robot foot, which gives easy maintenance. In order to simplify installation, the weight has been reduced by almost 400 kg.

Increased path performance
IRB 6640 runs the second generation of TrueMove™ and QuickMove™. This gives the robot more accurate motions, which, in the end, means less time for programming as well as a better process result. This software also supervises internal robot loads, which means reduced risk of overload and longer robot lifetime.

Passive Safety Features
Passive Safety Features include load identification, movable mechanical stops, EPS (Electronic Positions Switches) and a stiff steel structure.

IRB 6640ID – Internal dressing in the upper arm
This version has the process cabling for spot welding routed inside the upper arm. This gives a controlled motion with different benefits, such as predictable dress pack lifetime, longer dress pack lifetime and less spare part cost; a more compact robot when dressed and also a reliable simulation of dress pack motion.

Focusing on high production capacity, compact design, simple service and low maintenance cost, IRB 6640 is the perfect robot for various applications!
