Shelf life: The development of the IRB 6650S shelf robot - a successful cooperation between supplier and customer

摘要

When a customer needs a powerful and agile robot in a very short time and no misting product covers the niche, the chances of success may seem slim. But if the supplier is well-prepared and has a strong modular platform to develop from, then the situation is totally different. In close cooperation with Gestamp Automocion, ABB was able to develop a new shelf robot in under seven months. The IRB 6650S is handling the customer's tough requirements with ease - these translate into an enlarged working range, an increased handling capacity and a high moment of inertia - all factors which increase the productivity of the customer's lines.
