Description
3HXD1135-70: Product Overview
The ABB 3HXD1135-70 is a specialized robot arm component engineered for ABB’s IRB 7600 series—ABB’s flagship heavy-duty industrial robot platform. Designed for applications requiring high payload capacity (150–500 kg) and precision, this component plays a pivotal role in maintaining the structural integrity and operational accuracy of the IRB 7600 robot arm.
Role in Automation Systems:
Positioned as a core structural element of the IRB 7600 robot arm, the 3HXD1135-70 component connects the robot’s base to its upper arm, transferring motion and force from the motors to the end-effector (e.g., gripper, welding torch). Its high-strength design ensures that the robot can handle heavy loads (up to 500 kg) without compromising precision, making it ideal for industries like automotive manufacturing, metal fabrication, and logistics.
Core Functionality:
-
Structural Support: Provides a rigid framework for the robot arm, minimizing vibration and deflection during heavy-duty operations.
-
Precision Motion Transfer: Ensures that the motor’s rotational motion is translated into precise linear or angular movement of the end-effector, maintaining ±0.05 mm repeatability (critical for tasks like welding or component assembly).
-
Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with other IRB 7600 components (e.g., motors, encoders, gearboxes), ensuring that the robot operates as a cohesive system.
Platform Benefits (IRB 7600 Series):
The 3HXD1135-70 leverages ABB’s expertise in heavy-duty robotics, offering:
-
High Payload Capacity: Supports up to 500 kg, making it suitable for lifting and moving heavy components (e.g., car bodies, steel beams).
-
Precision: ±0.05 mm repeatability ensures that tasks are performed accurately, reducing waste and rework.
-
Durability: Constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy, the component resists wear and tear in harsh industrial environments (e.g., high temperatures, vibration).
