Price comparison
FANUC LR Mate 200iD: listed from $17,500
ABB IRB 1410: listed from $32,000
Difference: $14,500
The LR Mate 200iD costs roughly 45% less
Reach and working area
The IRB 1410 reaches 1440 mm, about twice the LR Mate 200iD's 717 mm. Welding larger parts and handling across a wider cell favor the IRB 1410. Compact benches and machine loading favor the LR Mate.
Payload and precision
The LR Mate 200iD carries 7 kg at the wrist, against 5 kg for the IRB 1410, and publishes ±0.01 mm repeatability against ±0.025 mm. Small-part assembly and precise loading favor the LR Mate.
Process equipment and controllers
The IRB 1410's upper arm carries an additional 18 kg of process equipment, such as a wire feeder, which suits arc welding cells. ABB runs it on IRC5. The LR Mate 200iD mounts on the floor, upside-down or at an angle and runs on the compact R-30iB Mate Plus.
