Head to head
ABB IRB 910SC vs Omron i4
A specification duel across payload, reach, precision, and footprint, with a plain read on which arm suits which job.
Compact SCARA for assembly and small-parts handling
Compact SCARA for light assembly and packaging
Specification duel
Green marks the stronger figure. Unconfirmed specs are shown but not scored.
The verdict
The specs separate them here: the ABB IRB 910SC carries more, 6 kg to the Omron i4's 5 kg. They run different controllers, the ABB IRB 910SC on the IRC5 and the Omron i4 on the Built-in internal controller, so whichever platform your team already programs and stocks parts for is a real tiebreaker. For a tight or overhead cell, the ABB IRB 910SC lists Floor mounting while the Omron i4 lists Table and Wall mounting, which the other does not. Both are aimed at assembly and packaging, with the ABB IRB 910SC stretching to machine tending.
- Fast planar cycle times
- Multiple reach and payload variants
- Compact footprint for bench integration
- Simple programming for pick-and-place tasks
- Very compact for dense bench cells
- Tight repeatability for small-parts assembly
- Integrates with Omron vision and PLC systems
- Low mass simplifies mounting
