High-speed palletizing robot ABB IRB 460 is compact and is ABB's fastest palletizing robot. The IRB 460 provides an ideal solution for palletizing and bag palletizing applications at the end of the production line. This four-axis robot is the fastest in its ABB category, has a small footprint, and is very suitable for existing packaging lines. Main applications: palletizing, depalletizing, material handling, assembly Key features Reduced cycle time The IRB 460 is ABB's fastest four-axis multi-function industrial robot, which can significantly reduce cycle time for various operations and greatly improve production efficiency. This compact 4-axis robot has a reach of 2.4 m and an effective payload of 110 kg; at a payload of 60 kg, the operating cycle rate can reach up to 2190 cycles/hour. High-precision operation Equipped with ABB's leading motion control software QuickMove™ and TrueMove™, the IRB 460 moves smoothly with excellent path accuracy, gently handling even the most sensitive products while ensuring cycle time is not affected. Small footprint, high output Compared with ABB products with similar speed and payload, the compactly designed IRB 460 can reduce the distance to the pallet by 20%, and this alone can improve production efficiency by up to 3%. Low total cost of ownership, high production efficiency The IRB 460 is manufactured to automotive industry standards, with a rigid and stable structure, reliable design, long uptime, and low maintenance costs. The robot is equipped with integrated process cables,
What we see on this model in the field
IRB 4600/4400 machine-tending robots show axis gearbox backlash under load. We measure it with a dial gauge at rated payload, not just by hand.
Buying or selling one?
If you're buying, demand the serial number and operating hours, then verify payload and reach against the official specs in the table above. If you're selling, we buy used ABB robots of all series — on-site appraisal, prompt settlement.
Frequently asked questions
QCan you repair a ABB IRB 460?
Yes. Our engineers service the full ABB range including the IRB 460 — servo and gearbox overhaul, controller repair, mastering and calibration, with warranty on our work.
QDo you sell used ABB IRB 460 robots?
Stock changes weekly. Tell us the model and your application — if it's not in the warehouse we source it, inspect it against the official specs above, and commission it on-site.
QWhat should I check before buying this model used?
Demand the serial number and operating hours, verify payload/reach against the official table, and have the repeatability measured at working speed. Our inspection report covers gearbox backlash, controller logs and mastering data.
