FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does the ABB IRB 6620 cost? +

The ABB IRB 6620 price does not have a current new-unit list price because ABB officially classifies the model as discontinued. Used or refurbished value depends on manipulator condition, controller, hours, maintenance, dress pack, batteries, software, tooling and support. 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 6620 pricing or a complete automation quote through Anton Robots before committing.

Where can I buy the ABB IRB 6620? +

You can request verified used, refurbished or existing-fleet sourcing for the ABB IRB 6620 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 6620 matches the payload, reach and process. ABB states that IRB 6620 is discontinued, with service and spare parts remaining for existing installations and newer 6710–6740 families replacing it.

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 6620 buying or sourcing guidance through Anton Robots.

Where can I find a ABB IRB 6620 for sale? +

You may find an ABB IRB 6620 for sale through ABB partners, system integrators, used-robot specialists and existing factories. Finding a ABB IRB 6620 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 serial number, controller, operating hours, axes, reducers, brakes, batteries, calibration, process cabling, mounting arrangement and service eligibility.

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 6620, contact Anton Robots. We can also compare it with other robotic arms for the same application.

Can I get a quote for the ABB IRB 6620? +

Yes. You can request an ABB IRB 6620 used-system review or 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 proposal should compare refurbishment and recommissioning with current ABB large robots, including foundation, tooling, software migration and downtime. 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 6620 against other industrial robot arms and prepare a package around the actual task.

What is included when you buy the ABB IRB 6620? +

A typical ABB IRB 6620 package may include the manipulator, IRC5 controller, FlexPendant, cables, base or shelf hardware, RobotWare backup 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 6620 manipulator
  • Matched IRC5 controller and FlexPendant
  • RobotWare licences, backup and calibration data
  • Base, shelf or inverted mounting hardware
  • Dress pack, process cables and application media
  • Gripper, weld gun or machine-tending tool
  • Condition report and maintenance history
  • Freight, installation, commissioning and support

A used manipulator without matched controller, cables, software and calibration records may require significant recommissioning. 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.

You can request an itemised ABB IRB 6620 package quote through Anton Robots before approving the cell.

What are the payload, reach and repeatability of the ABB IRB 6620? +

The ABB IRB 6620 has a 150 kg payload, 2.2 m reach and approximately 0.03 mm position repeatability. This combination made it useful for heavy handling, machine tending and welding where a compact layout was important. 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 payload includes the tool and all carried equipment, and load diagrams limit some centre-of-gravity combinations.

Before buying or integrating the robot, verify tool mass, part mass, centre of gravity, wrist moments, reach, mounting, cycle and load diagram. A proper evaluation should use RobotStudio simulation, load diagrams, the real parts and tools, representative cycle testing and a documented safety assessment. Use the exact dynamic load, not only the 150 kg headline.

You can request ABB IRB 6620 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete cell or a more suitable current ABB alternative.

Is the ABB IRB 6620 discontinued? +

Yes, ABB officially marks the IRB 6620 as discontinued. ABB states that service and spare parts remain available for existing installations and identifies IRB 6710, 6720, 6730 and 6740 as replacement families. 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. Service availability can differ by serial number, country, controller and component.

Before buying or integrating the robot, verify ABB lifecycle status, serial number, parts horizon, local service, controller support and replacement recommendation. A proper evaluation should use RobotStudio simulation, load diagrams, the real parts and tools, representative cycle testing and a documented safety assessment. Represent it as legacy or used equipment, not a current new robot.

You can request ABB IRB 6620 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete cell or a more suitable current ABB alternative.

Can the ABB IRB 6620 be mounted upside down or on a shelf? +

Yes, IRB 6620 supported floor, tilted, inverted and shelf mounting. This flexibility allowed the heavy robot to sit above or beside machinery and reduce cell floor space. 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. Mounting orientation changes foundation loads, access, cable routing, maintenance and sometimes allowable payload.

Before buying or integrating the robot, verify the original ABB mounting rules, support structure, forces, bolts, reach, service clearance and load diagram. A proper evaluation should use RobotStudio simulation, load diagrams, the real parts and tools, representative cycle testing and a documented safety assessment. Have the integrator revalidate the full mechanical installation.

What applications is the ABB IRB 6620 best suited for? +

IRB 6620 is best known for machine tending, material handling, spot welding and heavy work in compact cells. Its payload and mounting choices suited die casting, injection moulding, automotive lines and production equipment service. 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. It is not a collaborative robot and should not be selected for machining or harsh processes without the correct design and protection.

Before buying or integrating the robot, verify process forces, payload, reach, cycle, tool, environment, guarding, utilities and production acceptance criteria. A proper evaluation should use RobotStudio simulation, load diagrams, the real parts and tools, representative cycle testing and a documented safety assessment. Its strongest case is a validated heavy task that benefits from compact installation.

You can request ABB IRB 6620 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete cell or a more suitable current ABB alternative.

What environmental protection is available for the ABB IRB 6620? +

IRB 6620 offered standard industrial and Foundry Plus configurations. Foundry-oriented options improved resistance to metal spatter, contamination and demanding die-casting or metal-processing environments. 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 listing may not include the claimed protection option, and added tooling may have a lower rating.

Before buying or integrating the robot, verify type plate, original option list, seals, paint, cable protection, process fluid, cleaning method and maintenance. A proper evaluation should use RobotStudio simulation, load diagrams, the real parts and tools, representative cycle testing and a documented safety assessment. Verify the exact factory configuration rather than assuming every 6620 is foundry protected.

You can request ABB IRB 6620 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete cell or a more suitable current ABB alternative.

What should I inspect before buying a used ABB IRB 6620? +

A used IRB 6620 needs a mechanical, electrical, software and lifecycle inspection. The review should include reducers, motors, brakes, backlash, bearings, batteries, cables, controller, FlexPendant, calibration and maintenance history. 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 robot that powers on can still have expensive wear or missing RobotWare options.

Before buying or integrating the robot, verify serial number, hours, alarm log, backlash tests, oil, brakes, batteries, backups, calibration, parts and live loaded motion. A proper evaluation should use RobotStudio simulation, load diagrams, the real parts and tools, representative cycle testing and a documented safety assessment. Purchase through a supplier that can recommission and support the complete cell.

You can request ABB IRB 6620 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete cell or a more suitable current ABB alternative.

Should I buy an ABB IRB 6620 or a newer ABB large robot? +

Choose IRB 6620 mainly for existing-cell compatibility and a current ABB large robot for a new system. The newer modular families add current OmniCore support, more payload-and-reach choices and improved efficiency and lifecycle planning. 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. Migration can require new foundations, tool interfaces, programs, safety validation and process trials.

Before buying or integrating the robot, verify payload, reach, footprint, mounting, controller, cycle, tooling, energy, support, migration cost and downtime. A proper evaluation should use RobotStudio simulation, load diagrams, the real parts and tools, representative cycle testing and a documented safety assessment. Compare the five-to-ten-year production risk, not only purchase price.

You can request ABB IRB 6620 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete cell or a more suitable current ABB alternative.

Can the ABB IRB 6620 be shipped internationally? +

A verified ABB IRB 6620 can be shipped internationally as used heavy industrial equipment. Industrial robot delivery depends on the destination country, robot condition, controller, freight method, export rules, customs and local service coverage. Specialist rigging, transport restraints, controller packing, lifting plans, foundation engineering and local recommissioning are required.

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 6620 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.

Is the ABB IRB 6620 in stock and how long does delivery take? +

ABB IRB 6620 availability and lead time can change according to model status, variant, controller, options, integrator capacity and destination. Supply is limited to existing fleets, reseller inventory and refurbished systems rather than current ABB 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 6620 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.

What warranty and support should I check for the ABB IRB 6620? +

Before buying the ABB IRB 6620, check the warranty or refurbishment guarantee, covered components, service territory, repair process, software entitlement, spare-parts availability and who supports the integrated cell. Require gearbox, motor, brake, battery and calibration inspection plus written parts availability and responsibility for controller and process equipment. 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.

Is the ABB IRB 6620 worth buying? +

The ABB IRB 6620 is worth considering if you need direct compatibility with an existing IRB 6620 cell, program, shelf mount, tool or production process. Its strongest value comes from its 150 kg payload, compact 2.2 m envelope, mounting flexibility, repeatability and proven heavy-duty applications.

However, a robot arm only creates value when the task, tool, fixture, controller, safety design, cycle time and support are correctly engineered. For a greenfield system, the current IRB 6710–6740 or other ABB families normally provide lower lifecycle and obsolescence risk.

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. Compare other robotic arms and request application advice through Anton Robots.
