A
new generation of
ABB FlexPicker delta robots was introduced at the Pack Expo this month. The
new design will be easier to clean, require less maintenance, and take up less space. The
FlexPicker IRB 360 family will start with three models. One of these three was on display at the Expo.
The
spider-like FlexPickers are designed for precise and quick
material handling. The Flex Picker
IRB 360 family will have larger payloads up to 4kg. These top-mounted robots will also come with a compact footprint. Stainless steel versions will be available for quick cleaning.
These delta robots will work with
ABB's PickMaster software. This powerful controller handles up to eight robots. It is an excellent choice for combined
material handling systems where more than one type of robot handles a task.
