ABB to demonstrate robots, grippers and software for palletising applications
ABB Robotics
Palletising robots, grippers and software
ABB will present two new palletising robots, three palletising grippers and a programming software package at the PPMA exhibition, which is scheduled to take place on 27–29 September at the NEC in Birmingham.
Video demonstration of the ABB IRB 460
The company, which will be found on Stand B15 in Hall 5, will hold live demonstrations of its IRB 460 system — a compact, 110kg-capacity, four-axis palletising robot for high-speed, end-of-line and bag palletising applications.
ABB will also showcase its IRB 760 robot, which is designed for high-output, full-layer palletising tasks.
The Robotstudio Palletizing Powerpac software, which will be on display at PPMA, enables all users to configure, simulate and program robots and grippers for a variety of palletising applications.
Finally, the company’s stand will feature two IRB 360 Flexpickers with integrated vision software.
