How much does the IRB 1660ID cost? ​

The publicly listed reference price of the IRB 1660ID is CNY 85,000 – CNY 320,000. Pricing for industrial six-axis/SCARA robots is provided by the manufacturer and authorized integrators based on controller model, optional welding/vision process packages, and order volume.

Prices in Chinese yuan (CNY) are China list prices; overseas pricing, configurations and taxes differ.

Overview ​

The robot has a maximum payload of 6 kg, supporting corresponding end-effectors for relevant operations. The wrist is rated IP67, and cables are waterproofed to reduce maintenance requirements. With the new motion process accuracy mode, the robot achieves 0.05 mm path repeatability. The arm load capacity is approximately 15 + 15 kg, allowing two additional arm-mounted loads. Axes 4, 5, and 6 provide a combined working range of 1,390°, enabling flexible movement inside CNC machines. The robot has a reach of 1.55 m, covering the workspace within this radius.

Developers can use RobotStudio® for offline programming of the IRB 1660ID and for planning high-density welding cells. The IRB 1660ID is suitable for arc welding and machine tending applications.
