1.1.1 Introduction to structure
General
The IRB 1200 is one of ABB Robotics latest generation of 6-axis industrial robot,
with a payload of 5 to 7 kg, designed specifically for manufacturing industries that
use flexible robot-based automation, e.g. 3C industry. The robot has an open
structure that is especially adapted for flexible use, and can communicate
extensively with external systems.
Type A of IRB 1200
Type A - Axis Calibration
The difference between IRB 1200 and IRB 1200 Type A is that the Type A is
calibrated with Axis Calibration. On each axis there are bushings for installation
of calibration tools.
As a result of this, the castings differ between IRB 1200 and IRB 1200 Type A.
Note
IRB 1200 Type B is designed based on IRB 1200 Type A so that Type B has the
bushings for installation of calibration tools too.
The difference between IRB 1200 Type A and IRB 1200 Type B is that Type B
also supports SafeMove 2. See
Type B of IRB 1200 on page 9 .
How to know which type the robot is?
The type label on the base of the robot tells if the robot is calibrated with Axis
Calibration.
Those robots are named IRB 1200 Type A.
Note
If no type label attached on the robot, use the bushings on each axis to identify
a robot calibrated with Axis Calibration.
Those robots which are not equipped for Axis Calibration are simply named IRB
1200 (no type specified).
Type B of IRB 1200
Type B - SafeMove 2
The difference between IRB 1200 Type B and other IRB 1200 versions is that the
Type B supports SafeMove 2.
As a result of this, the following parts differ from other versions:
