The sale of a new IRB 6640 six-axis robot marks another significant milestone for ABB, which has long led the development of industrial robots. This is the 200000 robot sold globally since ABB Group entered the field in 1974.

In 1974, ABB (then known as Asea) launched the first fully electric robot IRB 6. Today, ABB has nearly 30 models of robots that can widely meet the production needs of various industries, and is fully supported by strong system integration capabilities and a global sales and service network in 53 countries.
