Used ABB 6 Axis

12345

Overview

6-axis industrial robots are articulated robots with six degrees of freedom, giving them high flexibility for complex 3D motion. Common in welding, assembly, material handling, palletizing and machine tending, they combine configurable payloads, reach and mounting options with programmable controllers and interchangeable end-effectors. Their versatility makes them ideal for tasks requiring precise orientation and multi-plane movement in automated production cells and robotic workstations.

FAQ

What should I check when buying a used 6-axis robot?

Inspect control system and teach pendant, verify servo and encoder condition, check arm joints for backlash or wear, confirm reach and payload specs match your application, review maintenance logs, and ensure communication protocols and safety features are compatible with your plant.

How do I ship a 6-axis robot safely?

Securely immobilize joints, remove or secure end-effector and cables, use custom crating or skids, label lifting points, hire transport experienced with industrial robots, insure the shipment, and prepare serial numbers and export/import paperwork if crossing borders.

What maintenance is required for these robots?

Regularly check and lubricate bearings and gearboxes, inspect cables and connectors, run calibration and encoder tests, update and back up controller software, replace worn seals or belts, and perform safety-system checks per manufacturer intervals.
