In waterjet cutting applications, which robot models are suitable for processing large workpieces (such as automotive interior parts)?

Answer: In waterjet cutting applications, processing large workpieces like automotive headliners, carpets, and instrument panels requires robots with a large working radius and high payload capacity. Based on actual cases, the following ABB robot models are proven choices:

The ABB IRB 4600 series is a core model for processing large automotive interior parts. It offers a working radius of up to 2.55 meters, a repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.05mm, and an IP67 protection rating, making it suitable for the demanding waterjet cutting environment. This model is widely used for cutting large components such as automotive floors and headliners.

The ABB IRB 2600 series is also suitable for such applications, with an effective cutting area of up to 3000mm × 2000mm. In cases involving automotive headliners and carpets, it can achieve an annual production capacity of 100,000 parts.

Additionally, the ABB IRB 2400 has been used in ceiling-mounted dual-arm configurations for cutting automotive headliners and carpets. For even larger workpieces, some systems utilize configurations with a maximum working radius of 3180mm and employ multi-robot collaboration to cover larger processing areas.
