…industry. The E10 controller is designed to power ABB’s SCARA robots and articulated robots with payloads of up to 11 kg (24.2 lb.) such as the IRB 920T and IRB 1300. Designed to power articulated robots with a payload of up to 300 kg (661.3 lb.) such as IRB 6700, the OmniCore V250XT controller is intended for use in electric vehicle production and general industrial applications. ABB said the OmniCore E10 and V250XT consume up to 20% less energy than its previous IRC5 controllers, thanks to power re-generation technology and brake energy recovery. This can help manufacturers improve energy efficiency…

…a wide range of ABB robots, including articulated arm, SCARA, delta, and palletizer robots in various sizes and with various payloads. This is particularly important for machine applications where a high degree of synchronization with other components is required, for example with picking solutions. With ABB robots integrated into the machine automation system, customers will benefit from an unprecedented level of synchronization between robotics and machine control. Since the robot will no longer require a dedicated controller, all interfaces between the machine and the robot are eliminated, while the fact that all axes and sensors will now communicate on a…

…threaded rod in molded plastic. Machines such as four-axis SCARA robots can add inserts to moldings and load them into machines to continue the process. They can also present a complement of inserts to a three-axis or six-axis robot. These robots work with pick-and-place robots to complete the manufacturing process. Source: Pexels 3. Applying automation to overmolding The process of overmolding can be automated to different degrees for a more efficient and accurate arrangement of parts. Overmolding involves the removal of a molded object from one injection-molding machine and placing it into another with a robot. Six-axis robots can reduce…

…and Markets. The analyst firm noted that it includes a variety of robot types, from collaborative and parallel to SCARA. Clean room robots have a few key risks, but they are still generally safer than humans in highly sensitive manufacturing environments. Engineers must ensure that such robots are able to operate effectively in clean rooms by taking steps to prevent accidents and contamination. Innovative robotic grippers, interior vacuums, and non-conductive materials can help clean room robots work safely and efficiently.
