Year 2004. High payload robot available in five versions with a handling capacity of up to 225 kg, reach of up to 3200 mm, and a wrist torque of up to 1320 Nm. Evolution of the famous IRB6400. Higher speed and a fully new shape allowing a wider working envelope in axis 2 and 3. Single spring counterbalance system following the Kuka and Fanuc philosophy (Kuka series 2000 and Fanuc R2000). The IRB 6600 comes with a built-in Service Information System, allowing for it to easier plan service and maintenance.

Equipped with the M2000 S4CPlus powerful controller.

S4Cplus gives you superior motion control. It features dynamic model based control, QuickMove for short cycle times, and the TrueMove function for high precision path following ability independent of robot speed. The S4Cplus system configuration capability and the powerful programming language RAPID makeit easy to set up the controller for a wide range of applications. Two built-in Ethernet channels provide for easier service and factory networking.

There are fieldbus and serial channels for PLC and PC connections.
