The verdict

The specs separate them here: the ABB IRB 6700 carries more, 150 kg to the ABB IRB 5710's 110 kg, and the ABB IRB 6700 reaches farther, 3200 mm to 2300 mm. If precision drives the job, the ABB IRB 5710 holds the tighter repeatability at ±0.04 mm. They run different controllers, the ABB IRB 5710 on the OmniCore V250XT and the ABB IRB 6700 on the OmniCore / IRC5, so whichever platform your team already programs and stocks parts for is a real tiebreaker. For a tight or overhead cell, the ABB IRB 5710 lists Angled and Inverted mounting, which the other does not. They target different work: the ABB IRB 5710 at painting and dispensing, the ABB IRB 6700 at spot welding and material handling.
