Panel-mounted robot controllers save space

Easy integration with existing equipment designs, substantial space savings and exceptional versatility are some of the many benefits which the new panel-mounting robot controllers from ABB Robotics offer to users of industrial robots. In addition, because the new controllers are supplied in chassis form for mounting in the user’s own control panel, they make it easy to meet special requirements such as hygienic systems with stainless steel enclosures, and systems which can withstand washdown cleaning. Providing all the functionality of the existing fully enclosed controllers, the new models are just 250 mm deep. This makes them particularly easy to accommodate, while the elimination of the integral enclosures allow useful cost savings to be made.
