In many factories, space is as valuable a resource as time or labor. Poor layout and inefficient use of space can lead to bottlenecks, downtime, and increased costs. In this context, ABB’s robotic arms have become a strategic tool for maximizing floor space, enabling production lines that are more compact, safer, and more efficient. Thanks
The pharmaceutical sector faces the ongoing challenge of ensuring safe, sterile, and highly precise production processes. Handling sensitive substances, filling vials, and preparing medications require absolute hygiene control. In this context, ABB robots—particularly the ABB IRB 1200 series—have become a key solution for cleanrooms and biomanufacturing environments. ABB robots are designed with smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces
For the launch of its first LightSpray™ plant in Zurich, On partnered with ABB Robotics—a Swiss company renowned for its leadership in industrial automation. ABB developed a robotic arm specifically for this project, designed to fabricate the uppers of On’s footwear. While the exact model hasn’t been disclosed, it’s likely a six- or seven-axis robot,
When we think of industrial robots, we often picture a mechanical arm lifting heavy objects. The ABB IRB 6640 3.2-130 certainly fits that image—it’s a robust piece of machinery capable of handling loads of up to 130 kg across a reach of 3.2 meters. But its true value lies in the advanced technology embedded within,
