IRB 1200 Next Generation
The IRB 1200 Next Generation is a powerhouse compact robot built for electronics assembly and precision manufacturing. It comes in four payload options (5, 7, 8, 9 kg) with reaches from 0.7-0.9 m, nailing class-leading repeatability of 0.03 mm. This new version is 20% lighter, cutting down on mounting costs and energy use. With a top speed of 1600 mm/s and OmniCore compatibility, it's perfect for blazing-fast, pinpoint-accurate assembly, FPC placement, and surface finishing in tight production spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
This new version is 20% lighter, more energy-efficient, faster and more precise, with better heat management and easier integration. That adds up to cheaper setup, lower running costs, and quicker production cycles.
Absolutely. With path repeatability of 0.03 mm and pose repeatability of 0.011 mm, the IRB 1200 shines in FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) placement, component assembly, micro-welding, and other precision electronics tasks needing micron-level accuracy.
Less weight means you don't need heavy-duty mounts, saving on install costs. It also works with lighter structures, makes moving it easier, and eases up on your building's load limits.
Yes, thanks to OmniCore controllers, the IRB 1200 syncs perfectly with external axes like linear tracks, positioners, or turntables. OmniCore handles all the coordinated motion for complex multi-axis setups.
Every ABB robot, including the IRB 1200, comes with full warranty coverage. You've got 24/7 global tech support from over 1,600 service pros. Plus, options for extended warranties and condition-based maintenance.
Yes, OmniCore options let the IRB 1200 connect via all major protocols like Ethernet, Profibus, DeviceNet, and EtherCAT, for smooth ties into MES and ERP systems.
