💰 About the price
The price of this robot is not fixed in the market and it depends on many things (new or used, version and options, with or without IRC5 controller, etc.).
Some sources for the sale of used ABB IRB 340 Flexpicker robots mention about £9,000 (pounds) for a used version (which roughly equates to a few hundred million Tomans depending on the exchange rate), but for the exact price, you should ask the seller (Call for price). 
⚠️ Note: The actual price can vary greatly — the new version, with the controller, special clamps and vision system (Vision) can be much more expensive.
