ABB Robotics & Discrete Automation

ABB offers an expanded product range of systems for robotic picking, packing and palletizing. The latest product introductions from ABB include two new palletizing robots, three palletizing grippers and an easy-to-use programming software – all designed to make palletizing simpler, faster and more efficient. Featured machines include the ABB’s IRB 460 high-speed robotic palletizer, designed for end-of-line palletizing and bag palletizing applications. ABB claims this 4-axis robot is the fastest of its kind with a small footprint that makes it ideal for fitting into existing packing lines.
