IRB 1520ID
The Lean Arc Welder

This high precision robotic arc welder,
with integrated process dressing,
combines 24/7 production output with
50% lower cost of maintenance to
deliver the lowest cost per weld in its
class.

Dedicated arc welding robot
With IRB 1520ID (Integrated Dressing), the hose package is
totally integrated into the upper arm and through the base of
the robot. This means, all media necessary for arc welding,
including power, welding wire, shielding gas and pressurized
air is routed for maximized performance and energy efficiency.
The IRB 1520ID delivers stable welding, excellent path accuracy, short cycle times and extended life expectancy of the
hose package. Thanks to the integrated dressing, welding
around cylindrical objects can be carried out without any
stops and narrow spaces are more easily accessed.
Flexible installation
With a payload capacity of 4 kilograms and a reach of 1.5
meters, the highly compact IRB 1520ID can be mounted in
both floor and inverted position. This positioning flexibility
offers short cycle times and a wide range of production possibilities.
Superior accuracy and speed
ABB robots are renowned for their superior motion control.
With the second generation TrueMove™ technology, IRB
1520ID has an outstanding path accuracy. With the second
generation QuickMove™ technology, the robot is able to utilize maximum acceleration between welds to increase output
with minimum energy consumption.

Easy to use, Easy to program
Both robot and arc welding process are easily programmed
and maintained with the ABB FlexPendant. It has a intuitive
graphical interface which lets the operators control the robot
and selected process equipment in their own language. It is
equipped with a touchscreen and the unique ABB joy-stick for
quick and easy positioning of the robot. If you appreciate the
benefits of simulating and programming offline, ABB offers the
most popular, reliable and cost-efficient software packages
with RobotStudio™ and RobotStudio Arc Welding PowerPac including VirtualArc™. With VirtualArc™ you get built-in
welding expertise and the opportunity for virtual trial and error
to achieve a perfect welding parameter setup and much less
trimming. The welding robot will produce predictible cycle
times and welding quality after only a few hours.
Global service and support
For worry-free operation, ABB also offers RemoteService,
which gives remote access to equipment for monitoring and
support. Moreover, ABB customers can take advantage of
the company’s service organization; with more than 35 years
of experience in the arc welding sector, ABB provides service
support in over 100 locations in 53 countries.
