Used ABB Robots For Sale

ABB's IRB line is a staple of North American welding and material-handling cells, and the IRC5 controller era makes used units straightforward to integrate. We stock used ABB six-axis robots, controllers, and complete welding packages.

Shipped across Canada and the United States with rigging and freight handled.

ABB Robot Series

IRB 2400
The classic 12–20 kg arc-welding and handling arm of the IRC5 era — see our IRB 2400 model guide for variants and controller pairings.
IRB 1600 / 2600
Compact-to-mid 6–20 kg six-axis units for welding, tending, and assembly.
IRB 4600
Mid-payload 20–60 kg generalist with fast cycle times; common in machine tending.
IRB 6640 / 6700
Heavy 150–300 kg class for spot welding, press tending, and palletizing — the volume heavyweights of the used ABB market.
IRB 7600
Ultra-heavy handling to 500 kg for castings, rack loading, and large assemblies.
IRB 120 / 1200
Small 3–7 kg arms for benchtop automation, testing, and light assembly.

ABB Controller Generations

S4C / S4C+

Legacy controllers on pre-2004 arms. Inexpensive, but plan a spares strategy — pendants and boards are aging out.

IRC5 (M2004 and later)

The used-market standard: FlexPendant programming, RobotWare options, and broad integrator support. Most of our ABB stock runs IRC5.

OmniCore

Current generation for newer arms — appears on late-model used units and matches new ABB production lines.

What to Check When Buying Used ABB

  • Confirm the RobotWare version and option keys (arc welding, MultiMove, SafeMove) transfer with the controller
  • Check the revolution counters and SMB battery state — a dead SMB battery means re-calibration on install
  • IRC5 M2004 vs later cabinets differ in drive layout; match spares to the exact cabinet revision
  • On welding packages, verify the power source interface (standard I/O vs DeviceNet vs EtherNet/IP)

ABB — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about buying used ABB equipment

How much does a used ABB robot cost?

Compact IRB 1600/2400 packages typically run $10,000–$25,000, IRB 4600 mid-size units $18,000–$35,000, and heavy IRB 6640/6700 systems $25,000–$60,000 depending on controller, hours, and tooling. Complete welding cells with power source command more.

What is the difference between IRC5 and OmniCore?

IRC5 is the controller generation behind most used ABB robots (2004 onward) with the FlexPendant. OmniCore is ABB's current platform found on late-model arms. For a used purchase, IRC5 offers the best parts availability and integrator familiarity.

Do used ABB robots include the FlexPendant and cables?

Yes — unless a listing states otherwise, units ship complete with controller, FlexPendant, and interconnect cables. Check each listing's specifications for exact inclusions.

Can you source a specific ABB model?

Yes. Tell us the IRB model, payload, reach, and controller you need — we source from plant closures and auctions across North America and will quote availability.
