ABB evolves IRB 1200 small robot family, with greater speed, precision and choice
• New generation available in four variants, offering class-leading payloads in demanding applications • Powered by the OmniCore controller for class-leading motion control, faster cycle times and ease of use • 20% lighter, reducing mounting costs and energy consumption
ABB Robotics' IRB 1200 high performance small robot family is evolving into a new generation that is faster and more precise, improving productivity and efficiency for a wide range of applications.
"With rising demand from SMEs, the need for adaptable and efficient small automation solutions has never been greater," said Marc Segura, President ABB Robotics. "The new IRB 1200 takes efficiency and productivity even further in the most precise automation tasks."
The new generation IRB 1200 family comes in four variants — 5, 7, 8, and 9 kg — the latter offering best-in-class payload, making it ideal for handling larger or heavier parts.
Powered by ABB's OmniCoreTM controller, the new robots achieve class-leading motion control, with path accuracy to just 0.6mm and pose repeatability down to 0.011mm, even for multiple robots at high speeds of up to 1600mm/s.
A 5% faster cycle time ensures that the new IRB 1200 family delivers this precision with even greater productivity, making it ideal for high throughput, complex applications such as surface finishing, assembly, and dispensing, designed for electronics, general industries, automotive electronics, and consumer industries.
Through its leaner design, the new IRB 1200 enables more compact and efficient installation, boosting throughput and efficiency without increasing production footprint. At the same time, it is 20% lighter than the previous generation, reducing pedestal mounting and energy consumption.
Thanks to OmniCore, the new generation IRB 1200 family also offers ease of use, through full access to ABB's expanding suite of AI-powered software, such as RobotStudio®, RobotStudio AI Assistant, and AppStudioTM.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
