Overview
The IRB 460 is an industrial robotic arm platform developed by ABB Robotics. The IRB 460 is a compact, high-speed palletizing robot designed for end-of-line and bag palletizing applications. It has a rated payload of 110 kg. Under a 60 kg load, this compact robot achieves up to 2,190 cycles per hour. This 4-axis palletizing robot is compatible with IRC5 or OmniCore V250XT controllers and features a reach of 2.4 m.
According to the manufacturer, the software is used for configuring palletizing systems rather than direct programming, reducing programming time by up to 80%. The robot is suitable for end-of-line palletizing, bag palletizing, and integration into existing packaging lines. Primary applications include palletizing, depalletizing, material handling, and assembly. Core hardware specifications include 4 DoF and a rated payload of 110.0 kg.
Regarding perception, computing, and system integration, the model is equipped with high-precision absolute joint encoders and current/torque feedback loops. Onboard computing utilizes the ABB OmniCore controller, covering L1-level technology stacks. Development and selection teams can evaluate motion envelopes, payload limits, and secondary development compatibility in target scenarios using official product documentation, motion control interfaces, and simulation assets (URDF/MJCF).
