IRB 1200-9/0.7 Gen2
Second-generation IRB 1200, class-leading in its family at 9 kg payload — 20% lighter, powered by OmniCore with path repeatability to 0.03 mm and pose repeatability to 0.011 mm even at speeds up to 160°/s, for high-speed assembly, FPC assembly and precision surface finishing.
Full specifications
Performance
How much it lifts, how far it reaches, how precisely it repeats.
- Payload
Maximum mass the robot can carry at the wrist flange, including the gripper/tool. Higher means it can handle heavier parts.
- 9 kg 27th pct in class
- Reach
Maximum horizontal distance from the base axis to the wrist — defines the size of the work area. Higher means a larger envelope.
- 700 mm 12th pct in class
- Repeatability
How close the robot returns to the same taught point on repeated tries (ISO 9283, ±). Lower is better — tighter precision.
- 0.011 mm 96th pct in class
- Path repeatability
How consistently the robot retraces a continuous path (for welding, dispensing). Lower is better.
- 0.03 mm 91th pct in class
Motion range & speed
Per-axis travel limits and rotational speeds.
- Max axis speed
Highest rotational speed of the fastest joint. Higher helps short, fast moves.
- 160 °/s 18th pct in class
Power & controller
Electrical supply and the control cabinet that drives it.
- Controller
The control cabinet / unit that runs the robot.
- OmniCore
Safety
Standards met and collaborative-operation capability.
- Collaborative
Whether the robot is designed to work safely next to people without fencing (power-and-force-limited).
- No
