ABB EQUIPS INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS WITH COLLABORATIVE CAPABILITIES

Can you imagine a robot that can work alongside humans quickly and accurately, without the need for physical barriers? Such a robot exists and its name is ABB’s Swifti CRB 1300. It is an innovative robot that fuses the advantages of industrial robots and collaborative robots, creating a new category of hybrid robots.
The Swifti CRB 1300, introduced by ABB, is a new collaborative industrial robot that combines speed, safety and precision for demanding applications. The robot is capable of performing activities such as palletising, machine tending and screwdriving, and offers payload options from 7 kg to 11 kg with a reach of 0.9 m to 1.4 m. In addition, the robot features ABB’s SafeMove safety technology, which enables safe and comfortable human cooperation with an external laser scanner and interaction status light. The OmniCore C30 and C90XT controllers, which offer the highest motion control in their class, drive the robot.
ABB’s Swifti CRB 1300 uses a safety laser scanner and collaborative safety software to enable it to adapt to the environment and the people around it. The robot can recognise the presence and position of humans and modify its speed and trajectory to avoid collisions and accidents. Thus, the robot can work safely and efficiently with humans, without the need for protective fences or other safety measures.
ABB’s Swifti CRB 1300 has a payload capacity of 6 kg and a reach of 1.3 metres. It is intended for tasks such as assembly, handling, packaging, inspection and testing. The robot can be easily programmed via an intuitive interface that allows the user to teach the robot the desired movements. In addition, the robot can be connected to other intelligent devices, such as cameras, sensors and tools, to expand its capabilities and functions.

ABB‘s Swifti CRB 1300 is an ideal solution for industries that want to improve their competitiveness and flexibility in a changing and demanding market. By merging the best of industrial and collaborative robots, the ABB Swifti CRB 1300 offers increased productivity, quality, safety and cost-effectiveness.

ABB’s Swifti CRB 1300 robot can be used in a variety of high-load, high-demand industrial applications such as palletising, machine tending and screwdriving. Currently, the robot has been used to feed a high-load machine. Some of the advantages of using this robot are:

 Enables safe collaboration with humans without the need for physical barriers, thanks to its SafeMove134 safety laser scanner and collaborative safety software.

 Offers class-leading speed and accuracy, with a tool centre point speed of 6.2 m/s and position repeatability of 0.02 mm12.

 Has load options from 7kg to 11kg and ranges from 0.9m to 1.4m, extending the range of collaborative applications12.

 It can be easily programmed via an intuitive interface and can be connected to other smart devices to extend its capabilities and functions.
