IRC5 is ABB’s fifth generation robot controller. It sets new standards with its modular concept, a completely new ergonomically designed portable interface unit, the FlexPendant and fully synchronous multiple (up to four) robot control through the MultiMove function.
- The modularity of the IRC5 is a major step forward in robot control with a logical split of functions into control, axis drives and process control. This flexibility makes it possible to optimize cell layouts and to upgrade or replace one module with minimal interference to the others.
- ABB´s motion control technology is the key to the robot’s performance in terms of accuracy, speed, cycle-time, programmability and synchronization with external devices.
- The path accuracy of TrueMove and the short cycle time of QuickMove are corner stones of these user benefits. The addition of MultiMove strengthens ABB’s lead in advanced robot systems and functionality that enables the coordinated operation of up to four robots in a cell.
