As the wave of automation continues to advance, the demand for robots in factory production lines is increasing day by day. In recent years, global robotics giant ABB has kept its finger on the pulse of the market by launching a series of innovative products. Recently, ABB Robotics expanded its lineup of modular industrial robot arms with the launch of IRB 7710 and IRB 7720 robots, which offer 16 new variants designed for a variety of applications.
Modular design
Traditional industrial robots are usually of a single design, which cannot meet the differentiated needs of different application scenarios. ABB's modular robots break this constraint. Dozens of different models and specifications can be easily assembled through the standardized and modular design of components such as base, lower arm, upper arm and wrist.
All models share the same footprint and interface specifications, greatly simplifying the installation and commissioning process and increasing production flexibility. Factories are free to select the most suitable model according to different payload requirements. the ABB modular series can cover a payload range of 70 kg to 620 kg, with a total of 46 variants available, which is enough to meet the needs of most scenarios.
This advanced modular design concept not only helps to reduce robot costs and shorten the delivery cycle, but also allows the production line to efficiently switch between robot models, realizing rapid product switching and small batch customized production. In the face of multi-species and low-volume orders, factories do not need to repeatedly purchase new robots, but only need to replace some of the components, which greatly improves asset utilization and avoids the waste of repeated investment.
Precision and efficiency
ABB's new IRB 7710 and IRB 7720 large modular robots, path accuracy of up to 0.6 mm, the highest operating speed of up to 1,600 mm / sec, is currently the best of its kind in terms of precision and speed. This is crucial for high-precision processing links, such as automotive stamping, casting palletizing and precision machining, etc., can significantly improve production efficiency and product consistency.
It is worth mentioning that ABB modular machines all adopt mechatronic design, the control system, motors and sensors tightly integrated, greatly simplifying the wiring and installation, and improve reliability. Compared with the traditional wired control, this design allows the robot to achieve more accurate and smooth motion control, to ensure the precision of all kinds of complex machining processes.
Wide range of applications
ABB's modular robots are designed to meet the diverse needs of the manufacturing industry. According to ABB forecasts, the new model or will be mainly used in automotive OEMs and first-tier suppliers, logistics, foundry, machinery manufacturing, construction and agriculture industries.
Taking the automotive manufacturing industry as an example, there are many processes in the automotive production line, such as stamping automation, body welding, battery structure assembly and general assembly, etc., which have different payload and accuracy requirements for robots.ABB modular robot series can be tailored to meet the ideal configuration according to these different scenarios.
In addition, ABB modular robots can be widely used in general-purpose heavy-duty handling scenarios, such as steel smelting, machine tool processing, etc., and can also be used in high-precision processing areas, such as electronic circuit board welding and assembly, precision assembly of medical equipment, etc., playing an irreplaceable role.
Marc Segura, President of ABB's Robotics Division, said: "We have designed our modular large robot portfolio to enable them to select the best robots and variants that will enable them to run their operations effectively. With the most comprehensive portfolio of mechatronics platforms, industrial robots, collaborative robots and AMR products on the market, the latest robots further extend our portfolio to help our customers address labor shortages and ensure they remain competitive while operating in a sustainable manner."
