ABB's FlexPicker (hardware) and PickMaster (software)



ABB Robotics controls the robots at INTERPHEX
(Posted 03/08/2007)

ABB Robotics is exhibiting its new fifth generation robot controller at INTERPHEX at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, New York, 24 � 26 April. Visitors to ABB Robotics� booth 1807 at INTERPHEX will see a demonstration on how the IRC5 and ABB Robotics world leading robot range can optimize pharmaceutical and biotechnology production.

The IRC5 robot controller will reveal at the show how it sets new standards with its modular concept, ergonomically designed portable interface and simplified operation of single or multiple robot cells. Being designed for panel mounting, it is ideal for integrators and system designers or for retrofitting into existing upgraded systems. Easy integration with existing equipment designs, substantial space savings and exceptional versatility makes the IRC5 a cost effective investment that is readily expandable to meet future demands of the pharmaceutical industry. It makes it easy to meet special hygienic requirements with stainless steel enclosures, making it ideal for clean environments.

ABB Robotics will also be demonstrating its PickMaster software for integrating picking, packing and palletizing with the IRB 340 FlexPicker delta robot. When combined the FlexPicker becomes the optimal, flexible robot solution for high-speed pick and place. Indeed, the FlexPicker is the fastest robot in the world, with 150 picks per minute and a payload up to 2 kg. The FlexPicker�s suspended mounting consumes minimal floor space.

Also on display will be the IRB 140, to meet the demanding payload and cycle time requirements of packing applications.
