While the company currently uses ABB Robotics palletizing solutions, the latest requirement was for a more compact cell that could fit into a smaller area and easily be replicated at other sites. (See video below.)ĪBB robots are supporting Nestlé, the world’s largest food and beverage company, to improve the productivity of pallet loading in its chocolate manufacturing facilities in Brazil “by 53 percent”, using a new ABB palletizing robot solution. The company says its SafeMove collaborative robot technology “enhances employee safety while increasing efficiency at Nestle’s confectionary factories”. It is available for either high-speed bag palletizing or compact end-of-line case palletizing and consists of IRB 460 palletizing robot, IRC5 controller, Flex-Gripper (either the Claw or one-zone Clamp gripper), dressing kit, ABB PLC, Jokab Safety PLC, software, user documentation and FlexPendant with tailored graphical HMI.ABB says its robots have boosted productivity at Nestlé’s Brazilian plants by more than 50 percent. This is a set of pre-engineered products configured for end-of-line palletizing that greatly improves ease of use for integrators. NEW : Also available is the PalletPack 460 Function Package. With an ABB robot solution palletizing will never be a bottle neck either now or in the future. With all elements working together path accuracy is optimized to ensure that your products will not only be handled very fast, but also with the utmost care. With more than 25 years of experience in the palletizing sector, ABB is a multinational corporation that has a sales and service organization in 53 countries and over 100 locations.īy combining the IRB 460 high speed palletizer with the ABB FlexGripper - Claw and RobotStudio with Palletizing PowerPac you get the fastest robotic bag palletizing system in the world.
#ABB ROBOTSTUDIO T GRIPPER SOFTWARE#
The software is used to “configure” palletizing systems rather than program them and reduces programming time by up to 80 percent.
#ABB ROBOTSTUDIO T GRIPPER PC#
The user-friendly software, Robot Studio with Palletizing Powe rPac – which runs on a regular PC – lets users who have no robot programming experience create programs and simulations and design palletizing installations. This package includes the patented ABB wireless Remote Services, which enables ABB experts to monitor robots and suggest optimized maintenance to further increase productivity. We also offer Robot Care, a three-year warranty package, that ensures worry-free operation of your robots at a fixed cost. The IRB 460 also features integrated process cabling which helps extend life and reduces wear. The robot’s robust and rigid design – manufactured to automotive industry standards – ensures high up time and low maintenance costs. Low cost of ownership and increased productivity This factor alone can increase productivity by up to three percent. The compact design of the IRB 460 allows pallets to be placed 20 percent closer to the robot as compared with competitors’ robots with similar speeds and payloads.
This means even the most sensitive products will be handled with great care without loosing cycle time. Utilizing ABB’s patented motion control software, QuickMove™ and TrueMove™, the IRB 460 ensures palletizing is carried out with smooth movements and high path accurary. With a reach of 2.4 meters and 110-kilogram payload capacity, this compact, four-axis robot can achieve up to 2,190 cycles per hour with a 60 kg load That’s 15 percent faster than its nearest rival. The IRB 460 is the world’s fastest palletizing robot, capable of significantly shortening cycle times and raising productivity for end-of line and bag palletizing. The 4-axis robot is the fastest of its kind and its small footprint makes it ideal for fitting into existing packing lines. The IRB 460 is perfect for end-of-line palletizing and bag palletizing applications. Leading ABB’s palletizing offering is the compact IRB 460 - the fastest palletizing robot in the world.
