ABB open days focus on increasing productivity with robots

  • ABB open days focus on increasing productivity with robots
ABB is to host ‘Productivity Days’ on 4-5 October 2006, at the ABB Robotics Centre, Milton Keynes.



Heading up the product demonstrations is the MiniFlex system, a powerful robotic parts feeder based around an advanced vision system and ABB’s compact 6-axis robot, the IRB 140 (pictured).

Demonstrations of ABB’s ‘Service Technologies’ range will also take place, including ABB ‘SmartSpares,’ ABB ‘AnyWhere’ and ABB ‘WebWare.’

‘SmartSpares’ is a simple and effective way to manage and track the usage of critical automation spares, to ensure that parts are easily accessible when they are needed most – during a breakdown.

ABB ‘Anywhere’ is a robot remote fault diagnosis and service tool designed to remotely connect the manufacturer’s robot production cell with the local ABB Customer Support Desk.

‘WebWare’ is a software product that helps customers keep track of their production resources by gathering data from ABB controllers, PLC’s, and other plant floor devices.

Interactive one-to-one demonstrations of RobotStudio, ABB’s offline programming software, will be carried out throughout each of the days.

Innovative welding processes will also be featured including Cold Metal Transfer and Friction Stir.

To register, telephone 01908 350300 or E-mail: robotics@gb.abb.com.
