Controller directs four-robot coordination
Fifth generation robot controller represents the biggest technological step forward since the introduction of the first generation series in 1974, says robot builder.
Controller managers four robots and ancillaries
'Fifth generation' robot controller represents the biggest technological step forward since 1974, says its maker, as it will manager four robots and associated positioners and ancillary devices.
The IRC5 robot controller will reveal at the show how it sets new standards with its modular concept, ergonomically designed portable interface and simplified operation of single or multiple robot cells.
Being designed for panel mounting, it is ideal for integrators and system designers or for retrofitting into existing upgraded systems.
Easy integration with existing equipment designs, substantial space savings and exceptional versatility makes the IRC5 a cost effective investment that is readily expandable to meet future demands of the pharmaceutical industry.
It makes it easy to meet special hygienic requirements with stainless steel enclosures, making it ideal for clean environments.
ABB Robotics will also be demonstrating its PickMaster software for integrating picking, packing and palletising with the IRB 340 FlexPicker delta robot.
When combined the FlexPicker becomes the optimal, flexible robot solution for high-speed pick and place.
Indeed, the FlexPicker is the fastest robot in the world, with 150 picks per minute and a payload up to 2kg.
The FlexPicker's suspended mounting consumes minimal floor space.
Also on display will be the IRB 140, to meet the demanding payload and cycle time requirements of packing applications. Request free introductory details about products from ABB Robotics ...
