Expert VerdictWinner: IRB 6700
ABB IRB 6700 Wins: Reliability and Global Support Network
ABB IRB 6700's industry-leading mean time between failures, ABB's global 24/7 service network, and its dominant position in automotive body shop welding give it the edge over KUKA KR1000's higher payload ceiling for the majority of heavy industrial automation applications.
IRB 6700 is better for
Automotive welding and stamping, heavy payload manufacturing, global enterprise with ABB support
KR 1000 TITAN is better for
Ultra-high payload foundry work, aerospace large-part handling, applications requiring KR1000's 1000kg capacity
