The IRB 1100 robot and OmniCore C90XT controller are designed with enhanced protection against water and dust. The robot’s entire body has an IP67 rating, with all electrical components sealed against contaminants. This makes it resistant to water and provides the robot with complete protection from dust ingress, enabling it to be used in applications generating substantial dust, water and debris. The robot is available in two variants—one with a 4-kg payload with 475-mm reach and the second with a 580-mm reach. The rugged, compact controller has full IP54-rated protection, so it can be installed in proximity to dirty, wet and dusty processes.
