INTEGRATOR OF NEW AND USED ROBOTS FOR INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION

Robot manufacturers ABB Robotics and Adept Technology Inc. each carry a line of Delta robots similar in design to the FANUC spider robots.

Flexpicker
ABB's answer to FANUC's spider robot is the IRB 360 Flexpicker. The IRB 360 is ABB's second generation of Delta robots. It is faster, stronger, and more compact than its predecessor, the IRB 340. Available in four different versions, the three-legged IRB 360 is a versatile and precise mover.

• IRB 360 1/800: The compact Flexpicker has a range that stays within 800mm. 
• IRB 360 1/1130: This standard version offers a 1130mm work envelope.
• IRB 360 3/1130: The high payload Flexpicker increases the standard 1kg payload to 3kg.  
• IRB 360 1/1600: The long arm Flexpicker can extend 1600mm.  
• Other Options: The IRB 360 also comes in cleanroom and stainless steel open food handling versions.  

Quattro
Adept's spider-like robot, the Quattro s650H, has four legs and a substantial 6kg payload capacity. Its work envelope extends a full 1300mm. Agile and quick, the Quattro has a streamlined design with controls and amplifier integrated into the robot body. The Quattro comes in a food-safe USDA-approved version too, the s650HS.
