The IRB 8700 is designed to balance high-reliability operation performance with low total cost of ownership. In addition, the IRB 8700's operation speed is 25% faster than comparable products in the same category.

Two models
The IRB 8700 offers two models: one with a working range of 4.2 meters and a payload capacity of 550 kg.
The first model has a working range of 3.5 meters and an effective load of 800 kg (when the wrist is vertically down, it is 1000 kg with LeanID, and 630 kg without LeanID); the other model has a working range of 3.5 meters and an effective load of 620 kg (when the wrist is vertically down, it is 475 kg with LeanID, and 620 kg without LeanID). Both models have a moment of inertia of up to 725 kg·m².

highly reliable
The IRB 8700 is designed with simplicity, utilizing high-quality components and LeanID cable packs with an excellent cost-to-life ratio. It is equipped with the ABB Foundry Plus 2 standard protection configuration, ensuring extremely long operational time, making it an ideal choice for three-shift production.

Minimalist Design
The IRB 8700 features a single motor and single reducer per joint, which is more compact than the dual motor and/ or dual reducer design found in most comparable products. It does not rely on gas springs that can lead to air leakage and safety concerns, instead relying solely on reliable counterweights and mechanical springs for balance. The IRB 8700 equipped with these features has fewer parts, lower failure rates, and offers advantages such as fast cycle times and high precision.

Action swift
It is generally believed that high-load robots move slowly, but the IRB 8700 has broken the conventional thinking. This robot is space-saving, with optimized weight distribution, uses a parallel linkage mechanism and rigid shafts, and reduces the number of drive motors, with the advantages of low inertia and fast speed. In fact, the above optimization design has made the robot's running speed 25% higher than that of similar products. In addition, the IRB 8700 can perform excellent motion control performance under large inertia (725 kgm²), can automatically adjust motion parameters, and is flexible to adapt to the operation of heavy and large-size components.
