ABB presents its two new products, the collaborative robots (cobot) <\/span>GoFa<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>SWIFTI<\/span><\/a>; this innovative series provides greater payloads and speed. It also complements the YuMi robot.<\/span><\/p>\n

These models are ideal for increasing performance and meeting the growing demand for automation in sectors such as: electronics, healthcare, consumer products, logistics, and food and beverage across multiple industries. Let’s take a look at the specifications. <\/span><\/p>\n

Gofa and SWIFTI<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The GoFa and SWIFTI designs make it easy for users to program thus freeing industries with a low degree of automation to acquire an expert. Likewise, customers can directly operate their collaborative robots within minutes of installation. This innovation is designed to work together with operators without safety parameters such as fences. It is also easier to incorporate and operate.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of 2020, ABB’s robot sales in China increased by 90%. The collaborative robots GoFa and SWIFTI are expected to receive orders from customers who are forced to restrict their business activities. <\/span><\/p>\n

The GoFa and SWIFTI robots are priced at US $ 25,000 and US $ 35,000, respectively, and are equipped with sensors to prevent accidents, eliminating the need for a protective cage. Both robots are faster than the previous model. Swifti can move the arm at a speed of 5 meters per second while carrying a load of 5 kg.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sami Atiya, president of ABB’s Robotics & Discrete Automation Business Area, commented: “<\/span>They are easy to use and are configured and supported by our global network of experts in online services to ensure that companies of all sizes and new sectors of the economy, as well as the manufacturing sector, can incorporate robots for the first time<\/span><\/em>.”<\/span><\/p>\n

ABB’s growing portfolio of collaborative robots is designed to help beginners and existing robot users accelerate automation on 4 important factors.<\/span><\/p>\n
