New palletising equipment from abb
August 1st 2011 At the forthcoming PPMA
Exhibition, 27th-29th September at
the NEC, Birmingham, ABB will
showcase two new palletising robots,
three palletising grippers and an
easy-to-use programming package,
all designed to make
palletising easier,
faster and more
efficient.
The stand will feature
various live demonstrations
of ABB's latest equipment,
including the compact 110kg
capacity IRB 460. Said to be
the fastest palletising
robot in the world, this
4-axis robot is capable of
up to 2190 cycles per hour and is
suited to high-speed, end-of-line and
bag palletising applications. The IRB
460 has a reach of 2.4m, occupies
20% less floor space and runs 15%
faster than its nearest rivals.
The stand will also feature the IRB
760 robot for highoutput,
full-layer
palletising, which has a
450kg capacity and a
reach of 3.2m, together
with the strongest wrist in the
industry. Accompanying it will
be three FlexGrippers: a clamp
available in two sizes for
handling cases; a heavy-duty claw
for high speed bag palletising;
and a vacuum gripper that can
handle up to five products at once. |
