The verdict
FANUC M-710iC/70 carries more payload at 70 kg. FANUC M-710iC/70 holds tighter repeatability at ±0.04 mm. Both are 6-axis industrial arms, so the choice comes down to payload headroom, cell layout, and the controller and ecosystem you already run.
ABB IRB 4600 →
- +Fast cycle times for a 60 kg class arm
- +Wide reach for pallet and large-part work
- +Slim lower arm for tight cell integration
- +Broad EOAT and vision ecosystem support
FANUC M-710iC/70 →
- +Higher payload without a larger footprint
- +Same envelope as the M-710iC/50
- +Robust for continuous multi-shift duty
- +Wide accessory and EOAT ecosystem
