The second generation FlexPicker robot is even more productive
For nearly 15 years, ABB’s IRB 360 FlexPicker has been the leader in state-of-the-art high speed robotic picking and packing technology. Compared to conventional hard automation, the IRB 360 offers much greater flexibility in a compact footprint while maintaining accuracy and high payloads.
With the introduction of the IRB 360-6, the latest robot to be added to the IRB 360 family, ABB has delivered a FlexPicker with a reach of 1600 mm and a mid-range payload of 6 kg. The sacrifice of a small amount of payload versus the 8 kg FlexPicker has resulted in a long reach for applications in which conveyors must be far apart or other environmental factors require long distances between pick and place movements.
Controllers
-
ABB’s industrial robot controllers offer superior motion control and enable quick integration of additional hardware. IRC5 is ABB’s fifth generation robot controller. Its motion control technology, featuring TrueMove & QuickMove, is key to the robot’s performance in terms of accuracy, speed, cycle-time, programmability and synchronization with external devices. Other features include FlexPendant with touch screen and joystick programming, flexible RAPID language, and powerful communication capabilities.
RobotWare is at the heart of the system and features a number of optional plug-ins designed to increase functionality for robot users. For example multitasking, transfer of information from file to robot, communications with external systems or advanced motion tasks..
SafeMove marks a major step in removing the bonds placed on industrial robots and makes possible human - robot collaboration. Developed and tested to comply with international safety standards, SafeMove is an electronics and software based solution that ensures safe and predictable robot motion.
