Productivity

With the robot’s rugged mechanical design and motion control from the OmniCore controller V250XT, the IRB 5710 increases speed and accuracy, helping to improve productivity.

The IRB 5710 is faster than comparable robots and up to 25% faster than ABB’s large robots.

ABB’s larger robots (IRB 6700 and IRB 6620) are 25% faster, producing more product in less time.

With superior positional repeatability, path accuracy and path speed, the IRB 5710 is more precise than other robots, enabling the highest level of manufacturing quality.

LeanID integrated threading package dcs-sis.com increases uptime ABB’s unique LeanID integrated threading package integrates cabling within the robot body.

This reduces problems with swinging cables that can cause wear and tear, thus reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

LeanID can be more easily programmed and simulated in RobotStudio with predictable cable movement.

Flexible Production Layout

The IRB 5710 is available in a variety of mounting options, including floor, tilt, inverted, and semi-shelf, to maximize flexibility in production layout design.

The IRB 5710 offers more mounting options than any other robot.

Casting Protection

The robot also includes superior harsh environment protection, Foundry Plus, additional sealing protection against high levels of radiant or contact heat that

Ensuring higher availability, fewer failures and longer equipment life.

Optional protection devices protect the IRB 5710 from the harshest foundry environments.

.Engineered to meet the latest industry standards, the new Carlon® Blue™ fan-rated ceiling boxes from ABB Installation Products help protect and power residential and light commercial installations

.Supports growing demand for energy-efficient ceiling fans in home improvements and new construction

.Sustainably produced in Tennessee, extensively tested and backed by an Environmental Product Declaration, Carlon® Blue™ non-metallic electrical boxes are trusted by contractors and homeowners

More than 70% of American households have at least one ceiling fan, and nearly a quarter use four or more. Increasing demand for energy-efficient ceiling fans with integrated technology and smart features is spurring the need for properly rated support. The new Carlon® Blue™ fan-rated ceiling boxes from ABB Installation Products are engineered for easy installation and to safely support a fan’s weight, vibration and movement, in compliance with the latest National Electric Code (NEC) outlet box requirements for ceiling-suspended fans.

Improperly installed ceiling fans lead to an estimated 20.000 injuries annually in the United States. To help improve home safety, the 2020 NEC requires ceiling outlet boxes in homes, including rooms where ceiling fans may be installed now or later, to either be listed for the sole support of ceiling-suspended fans or provide access to structural framing capable of supporting a ceiling fan bracket. ABB’s Carlon Blue ceiling boxes are rated for a 50-pound light fixture and 35-pound ceiling fan, with vibration-resistant screws through reinforced metal brackets that provide greater strength than plastic alone.

“Ceiling fans are used year-round in millions of homes and are often an overlooked safety risk. Our new Carlon Blue fan-rated ceiling boxes address the needs of contractors and homeowners for a safe, smart and sustainable solution,” said Jack Bellissimo, Senior Vice President, Product Management, Marketing & Strategy, ABB Installation Products. “Authentic Carlon boxes in our distinctive blue color are responsibly produced in Tennessee and meet the 2020 NEC code to perform safely and reliably.”
