Ceiling-mounted SCARA robot delivers maximum flexibility A
BB has expanded its
SCARA robot family with the launch of a compact invert- mounted model for small parts assembly applications. By mounting
the IRB 910INV on the ceiling, manufacturers can increase the
space efficiency and flexibility of each cell and handle more complex tasks even in cramped locations. The inverted mounting
also allows the IRB 910INV to collaborate with other robots and machines simultaneously in the same footprint, further boosting productivity. Utilising ABB’s superior motion control
technology, the IRB 910INV offers repeatable accuracy for applications including picking and placing, assembly and testing, electronics small parts assembly tasks such as screw driving, inserting or mounting components, and automated inspections for quality control. The IRB 910INV will also be certified for cleanroom applications in the future. “Since we introduced our SCARA robot
line, customers have been interested in a ceiling-mounted version that would allow them to make more efficient use of available space,” says Per Vegard Nerseth, managing
director of robotics at ABB. “The IRB 910INV satisfies this need, as well as offering the same superior speed and accuracy they’ve come to expect from ABB.” “The IRB 910INV is also a reflection of the
new design approach we announced earlier this year, which allows us to create a wider variety of robot sizes and variants and combine them into tailored solutions. It will make a great addition to our growing line of small parts assembly solutions.” Two variants of the IRB 910INV are
available, one with a maximum payload of 3kg with 350mm reach, and the other offering a maximum 6kg payload with 550mm reach.
