IRB 5500
- Available in four variants: IRB 5500-22 (floor), IRB 5500-23 (clean-wall rail), IRB 5500-25 (elevated rail), and IRB 5500-27 (7-axis)
- Integrated paint process equipment and IPS control architecture reduce paint and solvent loss, cycle times, and energy use
- High-speed, wide-envelope design with RB1000 atomizer delivers superior finish quality with fewer robots per booth
- Fully supports solvent- and water-borne paint, up to 32 color circuits with circulation, and 64 pilot valves — all integrated
- IRC5P paint controller, FlexPaint Pendant, and RobView 5 provide intuitive, explosion-proof control and diagnostics
- Modular design supports flexible mounting (floor, rail, inverted), with automatic calibration and multi-robot rail compatibility
- Ideal for both stop-and-go and moving line installations — fits a wide range of vehicle body sizes and reduces booth footprint
High-Speed Paint Robot for Superior Coating Quality
The ABB IRB 5500 FlexPainter is a high-performance paint robot series engineered for maximum efficiency, quality, and flexibility in automotive and industrial applications. With integrated paint process equipment positioned just 15 cm from the wrist, it drastically reduces paint and solvent waste. Its IPS-based IRC5P controller unifies motion and process control, cutting cycle times and energy use. Fully equipped with modular paint components—including high-flow valves, dual-shape air atomizer control, and servo-driven pumps—it supports both solvent- and water-based paints with exceptional precision.
Offered in four configurations—IRB 5500-22 (floor), IRB 5500-23 (clean-wall rail), IRB 5500-25 (elevated rail), and IRB 5500-27 (7-axis)—the FlexPainter adapts to various booth layouts and production needs. Its extended reach, high acceleration, and RB1000 atomizer enable fewer robots per booth while delivering superior finish quality. Certified for hazardous environments (Zone 1/21, Div I), the system integrates seamlessly with ABB’s RobView 5, RobotStudio® Paint, and ShopFloor Editor for simulation, programming, and real-time control.
