Compact robots

As a complete solution, the IRB 1200 is particularly suitable for situations that require a compact package without sacrificing working range or functionality. With no offset in axis two, it can achieve a longer stroke than other robots, enabling it to be placed very close to the work piece and still be functional.

One particular benefit of this long stroke is that it allows for a much more compact installation when the robot is mounted on the ceiling inside a small cell, such as in electronics machining or polishing applications.



The IRB 1200 comes in two variants which can handle a wide range of applications and are cost effective due to commonality of parts. The 700mm reach variant can carry a payload of up to 7kg, while the longer reach 900mm variant can carry up to 5kg. Both variants can be mounted at any angle and come with IP 40 protection as standard. IP 67 protection is also available as an option.

The IRB 1200 has been designed to be easy to integrate. Electrical and air connections can be made to the robot via side ports or an underline option. In addition, an Ethernet port makes it easy to integrate with other equipment. These connections are routed internally on the robot from very close to the wrist flange all the way to the foot, thus enhancing the compactness of the package.

Another key feature is the use of smooth surfaces, making the IRB1200 easy to keep clean and maintain in environments such as CNC machine tending and materials handling in the food industry.
