ABB continues to drive innovation in industrial automation with the release of its 3HAC085590-001 DSQC3120 Teach Pendant + Cable Kit for the IRC5 robot controller.

This all-in-one solution is designed to address some of the most common challenges faced by integrators and OEMs — tight project timelines, messy wiring environments, and the ever-frustrating “one meter too short” pendant cable.

One Box, One Connection – Plug and Play Efficiency

The ABB 3HAC085590-001 kit includes the latest-generation DSQC3120 FlexPendant and its native 10-meter hybrid cable (3HAC084673-001).

Preassembled and factory-tested, the unit is ready to use straight out of the box, enabling an average 40% reduction in on-site wiring and setup time.

Traditional installations often involve separate orders for the pendant and cable, increasing the risk of length miscalculations and delivery delays.

ABB’s integrated solution eliminates this issue by providing a single, vibration-proof connection capable of withstanding a 1,000 N pull force, ensuring stability and durability even in demanding environments.

Enhanced Performance with Full Compatibility

The upgraded 7-inch capacitive touchscreen delivers faster response and smoother drag-and-drop programming, improving interface performance by 30% compared to the previous model.

Fully backward-compatible with all IRC5 controller cabinets, the DSQC3120 requires only RobotWare 6.08 or later to operate. Existing robot programs remain unchanged, allowing users to upgrade hardware with minimal disruption — in many cases, within 30 minutes.

This compatibility ensures that ABB’s long-standing users can adopt the new system seamlessly, without additional training or major configuration changes.

Cost-Effective Solution – Save up to 12%

By purchasing the bundle instead of separate components, customers can unlock ABB’s annual volume discount, saving approximately USD 300–400 per kit.

The single-box shipment model simplifies logistics, reducing the need for multiple customs clearances, quality checks, and purchase orders. ABB estimates that these combined efficiencies can lower the total cost of ownership by roughly 12%, providing significant value for system integrators and end users alike.

Additionally, fixed bundle pricing shields buyers from quarterly currency fluctuations — an advantage in today’s volatile global market.

Sustainable Packaging – Lighter, Greener, Smarter

ABB also demonstrates its environmental commitment with eco-friendly packaging. The kit’s new recyclable corrugated box and plant-fiber corner protectors have replaced traditional foam, reducing packaging weight by 25% (around 1.2 kg per unit).

Across annual shipment volumes, this design improvement helps cut an estimated 18 tons of CO₂ emissions per year, aligning with ABB’s global ESG objectives and supporting customers’ own sustainability goals.

Conclusion

The ABB 3HAC085590-001 DSQC3120 Teach Pendant Kit represents a thoughtful evolution of ABB’s robotics ecosystem — simplifying installation, improving operator experience, and delivering measurable savings.

With faster deployment, seamless compatibility, and sustainable packaging, this kit exemplifies ABB’s ongoing mission to make automation smarter, cleaner, and more efficient for every customer.
