ABB IRB 910SC

The IRB 910SC is a 4-axis SCARA arm ABB built for fast planar work on a bench or inside a tight cell. It handles a payload of up to 6 kg and stretches 650 mm of reach, sized for the small-parts assembly and packaging it's aimed at. ABB offers it in several reach variants, so the same base design drops into different bench and cell layouts.

The four axes give it a planar work envelope, the classic SCARA layout for moving parts flat and fast. Repeatability is rated at 0.01 mm, tight enough for the precise small-parts jobs it targets. That 0.01 mm figure is what keeps it credible on close-tolerance placement and repeated returns to the same spot.

It leans on fast planar cycle times that suit pick-and-place and dispensing stations. Its planar motion limits orientation flexibility, so parts that need complex wrist angles are a poor fit. Simple programming keeps the placement setup quick to stand up.

The arm mounts to the floor and weighs 25.5 kg, a compact footprint that suits bench integration in a crowded cell. ABB runs it on the IRC5 controller. The body carries an IP20 rating.

Across a line it covers machine-tending alongside packaging and assembly duty, feeding and unloading small parts near the equipment it serves. It isn't built for large vertical stroke tasks, so tall stacking and deep loading sit outside its range.

The number that stands out is that 0.01 mm repeatability, the spec that earns it a place on the precise small-parts stations it was built for.
