Title
I use this robot in several applications, remove coating from mechanical parts using blasting guns, using different types of media and different fixations according to the construction of the machines (Roof and floor mounting). As well as a tool changer for a specialized grinding machines with the possibility to add tool heads in the future.
Pro
The flexibility to connect with different control systems, and protocols.
The use of modules for generating the code for the robot is a great way to implement this robot with the capacity of adding more programs if the difference between them is just the positions and orientation.
Con
The price is a little bit higher than using other robots.
It requires paid license for programming using 3D models.

Title
We used the ABB IRB 6700 robot in a very demanding application that involved the cooperation of a total of five robots with one another in glueing the glass pane with a metal decorative. This particular robot was responsible for collecting the glass pane that was already glued with the metal decorative, then inserting it on the mechanism that flips the glass pane, and then further collecting the glass pane from that mechanism, and finally inserting it into one of the four storage carts.
Pro
We have chosen this model primarily because of the very long arm reach, lifting capacity and high repeatability of movements. The robot performed well in all those difficult operations, even placing glass in the highly tight space between the particular shelves of the storage carts was not an issue for it.
Con
There were some awkward movements of the robot during occasional jog collisions. Furthermore, minor problems with the correct programming of the movement path occurred. The RobotStudio is not that easy to handle when it comes to complicated motion sequences or cooperation with that many other robots.

The IRB 6700 series is ABB Robotics' 7th generation of high-payload, high-performance industrial robots. Based on the famous IRB 6640 series, with a large working range, very high wrist torque, service-friendly modular build-up, and availability, significant for ABB’s robots, the IRB 6700 robot family goes even further. With a focus on high production capacity, compact design and low weight, simple service, and low maintenance cost. The IRB 6700 is ideal for process applications, regardless of industry. There are plenty of options available for Material handling and spot welding application.
This robot has two types of Dress pack options available, one is for if you need a High flexibility demand on a production line called as Lean ID and another one is for lower flexibility demand on a production line called as MH3, Don't forget to ask about these options while making a decision to adopt this robot. Lean ID type of dress pack is intended for a production where there are many complex wrist movements and the need for flexibility in changing products is high. Available options are 798-3and 780-4for material handling/spot welding, the LeanID concept. MH3 dress pack is recommended where there is less complexity in wrist movements. This normally occurs when there are not many different products running in the production cell. This package requires more individual adjustment to optimize the robot program at set up. Available options are 798-3 and 780-3 for material handling.
With greater efficiency and a more straightforward maintenance design, the IRB 6700 robotic arm offers next-generation advances. has 400 thousand hours of mean time between failures, longer uptime, and longer service intervals. This robot is capable of handling payloads between 150 and 300 kg, with reaches between 2.6 and 3.2 meters. Higher rigidity has strengthened the robot structure, leading to improved protection through increased accuracy and faster cycle times. includes 10 variations, including inverted and floor-mounting options.
Con
When using DressPack options on the upper arm the robot movements will be limited. In bending backward positions there are limitations due to interference with manipulator.
LeanID limitation: Limitation for axis 5 and 6 depends on how the dress pack is assembled at the tool and how the adjustment has been done. Axis 5 has a range of 120 degrees to -120 degrees and axis 6 has a range of 220 degrees to -220 degrees
There are some robot movements/positions that shall be avoided in the robot production program. This will improve the lifetime significantly of the external upper arm MH3 DressPack and wear parts e.g. protection hose, hose reinforcement, and protective sleeves. The axis 5 movements are not allowed to press the DressPack against the robot's upper arm. Combined rotation of the wrist axes must be limited so that the DressPack is not wrapped hard against the upper arm.
