[ "Compact 7-axis paint robot. The IRB 5500-27 is a new version of the innovative IRB 5500 robot family. The IRB 5500-27 integrates 7 axes, giving it a larger working range and flexible mounting positions, enabling it to support interior and exterior automotive painting as well as other painting applications.", "Key features: The IRB 5500-27 is designed for versatile support of moving production lines and as an enhanced solution for stop-and-go production lines. It provides greater flexibility, can accommodate different body sizes, and effectively reduces the number of robots required on the production line. This enhanced flexibility, combined with the advantage of adjusting the robot mounting position, reduces cycle time. In addition, ABB's integrated dynamic model controls all axes, reducing total energy consumption, improving accuracy, and ensuring fully synchronized and balanced robot motion.", "Paint savings: ABB's compact and lightweight painting application components allow critical paint-regulating equipment, such as pumps, to be positioned within approximately 15 cm of the wrist, greatly reducing paint and solvent waste during color changes. In addition to fully integrated process control (hardware and software), we also integrate process equipment into the IRB 5500 FlexPainter. The IRC5P controls the painting process and robot motion, saving a significant amount of energy.", "Powered by IPS: The 'push-out' function integrated in the IPS system is a special feature that can further reduce paint usage. The basic architecture of IPS is built on combining process control and motion control into one." ]
What we see on this model in the field
Paint robots arrive with ATEX/Ex documentation questions. We verify the explosion-proof sealing and replace wrist seals on every used paint unit.
