ABB IRB 120

The ABB IRB 120 price does not have a current new-unit list price because ABB officially classifies the model as phased out. Used or refurbished value depends on condition, IRC5 controller, FlexPendant, batteries, software, calibration, cables, cleanroom option and accessories. The robot arm is only one part of the investment. A usable industrial robot cell may also require the controller, FlexPendant or operator interface, pedestal, end effector, dress pack, vision, fixtures, safety equipment, PLC and fieldbus integration, guarding, programming, installation, training and production acceptance. Freight, taxes, customs, spare parts and local support can also change the delivered cost.

Before comparing offers, confirm the exact variant, controller generation, condition, included equipment, software licences and service responsibilities. The better buying question is: what is included, what performance is guaranteed, and who supports the complete cell?

You can request ABB IRB 120 pricing or a complete automation quote through Anton Robots before committing.

You can request verified used, refurbished or education-lab sourcing for the ABB IRB 120 through Anton Robots. Anton Robots helps industrial buyers verify the genuine commercial route, compare new, used, refurbished or integrator-built packages and determine whether the ABB IRB 120 matches the payload, reach and process. ABB states that IRB 120 is phased out and replaced by the more capable IRB 1200 Next Generation family.

Before buying, confirm the exact robot variant, serial number where applicable, controller, RobotWare version, mounting orientation, environmental protection, end effector, process equipment, safety architecture, shipping, warranty and commissioning. A bare manipulator listing is not the same as a production-ready cell. Professional buyers should compare the total installed system, production target and support route rather than only the lowest displayed robot price.

To start, request ABB IRB 120 buying or sourcing guidance through Anton Robots.

You may find an ABB IRB 120 for sale through used-robot dealers, universities, integrators and existing industrial fleets. Finding a ABB IRB 120 for sale is only the first step. Buyers should verify whether the offer is a new supported robot, an integrator package, remaining stock, a used manipulator, a refurbished system or an incomplete arm without the correct controller and software. Confirm the manipulator, IRC5 controller, FlexPendant, RobotWare, batteries, calibration, cables, cleanroom status, maintenance and seller support.

A useful comparison should cover the exact payload and reach variant, controller generation, operating hours, maintenance, calibration, batteries, cables, tooling, safety hardware, delivery, commissioning and warranty. Avoid treating a marketplace listing as proof that ABB will support the exact serial number or configuration.

If you are evaluating a ABB IRB 120, contact Anton Robots. We can also compare it with other robotic arms for the same application.

Yes. You can request an ABB IRB 120 used-system review or IRB 1200 replacement quote through Anton Robots.

A useful quote should identify the exact robot variant, controller, operator interface, RobotWare options, cabling, mounting, protection class, freight, warranty and available support. The quote should compare the complete used package against a new IRB 1200 Next Generation cell, including tooling, safety, programming and support. The supplier also needs the part weight and dimensions, tool mass and centre of gravity, required reach, cycle time, accuracy, process equipment, floor layout, utilities, communications and safety constraints. This allows the proposal to be based on the real application rather than a generic arm price. Ask for a clear statement of integration scope, production acceptance test, exclusions, delivery milestones and responsibility after commissioning.

Anton Robots can help compare the ABB IRB 120 against other industrial robot arms and prepare a package around the actual task.

A typical ABB IRB 120 package may include the compact manipulator, IRC5 controller, FlexPendant, robot cables, RobotWare backup, mounting and selected tooling. The exact contents vary by country, controller generation, integrator and application, so buyers should request a written bill of supply:

• ABB IRB 120 manipulator
• Matched IRC5 controller and FlexPendant
• RobotWare licences, backup and calibration data
• Robot and power cables
• Pedestal, table or inverted mounting hardware
• Gripper, camera, laboratory or assembly tool
• Condition report, batteries and maintenance history
• Freight, setup, training, warranty and support

A cheap arm without its controller, FlexPendant, software, cables and healthy batteries is not a complete usable robot system. End effectors and integration are especially important. The same robot can be configured for welding, machine tending, palletizing, handling, dispensing or assembly, but each task needs different tooling, fixtures, process equipment and safety validation. A low robot-only price may exclude most of what makes the system productive.

Yes, ABB officially describes the IRB 120 as phased out. ABB identifies the IRB 1200 Next Generation as its replacement, with higher payload, extended reach and OmniCore compatibility. The practical result depends on the exact variant, controller, payload centre of gravity, tool, mounting position, process and cell design rather than the headline specification alone. Phased out does not prevent used units or existing service, but availability and parts depend on the serial number and region.

Before buying or integrating the robot, verify ABB lifecycle status, serial number, controller, RobotWare, spare parts, local service and replacement roadmap. A proper evaluation should use RobotStudio simulation, load diagrams, the real parts and tools, representative cycle testing and a documented safety assessment. List it as legacy or used equipment rather than a current factory-order robot.

The IRB 120 has a 3 kg payload, 580 mm reach and approximately 25 kg manipulator weight. It can also reach below its base and has a small turning radius for compact machine and bench installations. The practical result depends on the exact variant, controller, payload centre of gravity, tool, mounting position, process and cell design rather than the headline specification alone. The 3 kg includes the gripper, cables and part, and the load diagram limits centre-of-gravity combinations.

Before buying or integrating the robot, verify tool, part, cable mass, centre of gravity, wrist load, reach, mounting and clearance. A proper evaluation should use RobotStudio simulation, load diagrams, the real parts and tools, representative cycle testing and a documented safety assessment. Use a detailed load calculation for every end effector.

ABB lists approximately 0.01 mm position repeatability and a 0.58-second 1 kg pick cycle for the IRB 120. The compact mechanics and ABB motion control made it useful for rapid small-part handling and assembly. The practical result depends on the exact variant, controller, payload centre of gravity, tool, mounting position, process and cell design rather than the headline specification alone. The benchmark cycle does not equal a complete production cycle with vision, gripping, waiting and machine communication.

Before buying or integrating the robot, verify path, part, load, calibration, vision, gripper timing, PLC handshake, quality tolerance and RobotStudio simulation. A proper evaluation should use RobotStudio simulation, load diagrams, the real parts and tools, representative cycle testing and a documented safety assessment. Validate the end-to-end task, not the brochure benchmark.

Yes, the IRB 120 was offered in an ISO Class 5 cleanroom configuration. This made it relevant to electronics, medical, laboratory and other contamination-sensitive small-part applications. The practical result depends on the exact variant, controller, payload centre of gravity, tool, mounting position, process and cell design rather than the headline specification alone. A used white or clean-looking robot is not proof of cleanroom certification, and refurbishment can compromise the original condition.

Before buying or integrating the robot, verify type plate, original option, seals, paint, grease, maintenance, contamination history, documentation and current cleanroom validation. A proper evaluation should use RobotStudio simulation, load diagrams, the real parts and tools, representative cycle testing and a documented safety assessment. Require documented cleanroom provenance for a controlled environment.

IRB 120 normally uses the ABB IRC5 controller, RobotWare and RAPID programming. Programming can be completed through the FlexPendant and RobotStudio offline simulation and development tools. The practical result depends on the exact variant, controller, payload centre of gravity, tool, mounting position, process and cell design rather than the headline specification alone. A used package may have missing licences, old RobotWare, failed controller batteries or no editable source project.

Before buying or integrating the robot, verify controller model, RobotWare version, licences, backups, source code, FlexPendant, communication options and PC compatibility. A proper evaluation should use RobotStudio simulation, load diagrams, the real parts and tools, representative cycle testing and a documented safety assessment. Software ownership and backups are as important as the arm.

Inspect the arm, IRC5 controller, FlexPendant, batteries, cabling, calibration and software. Small robots can accumulate high cycle counts in assembly and laboratory work even when they appear cosmetically clean. The practical result depends on the exact variant, controller, payload centre of gravity, tool, mounting position, process and cell design rather than the headline specification alone. A power-on demonstration may not reveal backlash, brake wear, encoder-battery risk, intermittent cables or missing options.

Before buying or integrating the robot, verify serial number, hours, alarm log, axis noise, backlash, brakes, batteries, calibration, I/O, backup and loaded cycle test. A proper evaluation should use RobotStudio simulation, load diagrams, the real parts and tools, representative cycle testing and a documented safety assessment. Buy from a supplier that can provide a functional warranty and recommissioning.

Choose IRB 120 mainly for existing compatibility and IRB 1200 Next Generation for a new compact automation cell. The new family offers 5–9 kg payload, up to 0.9 m reach, OmniCore control and substantially broader application capacity. The practical result depends on the exact variant, controller, payload centre of gravity, tool, mounting position, process and cell design rather than the headline specification alone. Migrating can require new fixtures, pedestal, programs, I/O, safety validation and reach analysis.

Before buying or integrating the robot, verify payload, reach, footprint, controller, accuracy, cleanroom needs, tooling, support, budget and migration cost. A proper evaluation should use RobotStudio simulation, load diagrams, the real parts and tools, representative cycle testing and a documented safety assessment. For a greenfield project, the current family normally provides better long-term value.

A complete ABB IRB 120 can be shipped internationally as used industrial equipment. Industrial robot delivery depends on the destination country, robot condition, controller, freight method, export rules, customs and local service coverage. Confirm secure arm restraints, controller and pendant packing, battery replacement, customs, voltage, local setup and software transfer.

Before ordering, confirm who disconnects, preserves, packs, lifts, insures, imports, installs, anchors, reconnects, calibrates and recommissions the system. Used robots should be shipped with transport restraints, controller cabinets, FlexPendant, cables, backups and maintenance records. A robot that can physically be transported is not necessarily supported or ready for production in another country.

You can request international availability for the ABB IRB 120 through Anton Robots so the complete delivery and commissioning route can be checked. Buyers should obtain written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, purchase order, integration project, or production deployment.

ABB IRB 120 availability and lead time can change according to model status, variant, controller, options, integrator capacity and destination. Availability is limited to used, refurbished, education and installed-base inventory rather than ABB factory production.

Before committing to a production date, ask whether the robot is factory ordered, remaining stock, used, refurbished or already allocated, and whether the controller, tooling, safety system and integration resources share the same schedule. Cell design, RobotStudio simulation, manufacturing of fixtures, software, factory acceptance testing, freight, installation and site acceptance often take longer than obtaining the arm itself. You can request current ABB IRB 120 availability and project lead time through Anton Robots.

Buyers should obtain written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, purchase order, integration project, or production deployment. Buyers should obtain written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, purchase order, integration project, or production deployment.

Before buying the ABB IRB 120, check the warranty or refurbishment guarantee, covered components, service territory, repair process, software entitlement, spare-parts availability and who supports the integrated cell. Require testing of every axis, brakes, backlash, controller, FlexPendant, batteries, I/O, calibration and cleanroom condition where relevant. Ask:

• Is the manipulator, controller, FlexPendant and process equipment covered?
• Who handles diagnostics, calibration, repairs and replacement parts?
• Are RobotWare licences, backups and RobotStudio files transferred?
• Are preventive maintenance, grease, batteries and dress packs included?
• Who supports the gripper, welder, vision, PLC and safety system?
• What response time and production-recovery commitment is provided?

For a legacy robot, serial-number support and spare-parts horizon are primary buying criteria. Contact Anton Robots to review the complete package. Buyers should obtain written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, purchase order, integration project, or production deployment.

The ABB IRB 120 is worth considering if you need exact compatibility with an existing IRB 120 cell, laboratory, program, fixture or education setup. Its strongest value comes from its very compact size, 3 kg payload, 0.01 mm repeatability, light weight and mature ABB programming environment.

However, a robot arm only creates value when the task, tool, fixture, controller, safety design, cycle time and support are correctly engineered. For a new project, IRB 1200 Next Generation provides higher payload, more reach, OmniCore support and a longer lifecycle. Buyers should compare total installed cost, expected throughput, quality, uptime, maintenance, energy, changeover and remaining product life rather than only payload and purchase price. For a legacy unit, a low acquisition cost can be outweighed by integration, batteries, calibration, parts and downtime risk.
