ABB introduces the new OmniVance™ product family. The new series includes ABB's standardized, deployable application units and will support the next generation of easy programming, set-up and modular production.
· The OmniVance™ FlexArc® compact welding cell saves space while reducing the difficulty, speed and efficiency of welding.
· The OmniVance™ machining cell is capable of eight different applications in the same cell, increasing throughput, while the corresponding software radically improves the set-up time, calibration and functionality of the cell.
· Welcome to booth 231 in Hall 5 to experience ABB's innovative technologies and products, while you can see up close how the OmniVance™ FlexLoader® M application unit works with ABB ASTI mobile robots. In addition, several digital and collaborative robot applications will be demonstrated.
At Automatica 2022 in Munich, ABB is laying the foundation for the factory of the future with the launch of two revolutionary products under the new OmniVance™ brand: the OmniVance™ FlexArc® compact cell and the OmniVance™ processing cell and software.
Ma Sikang, Global Head of Robotics Business Unit of ABB, said,
With global uncertainty intensifying and consumer demand changing, we are facing an unprecedented shortage of skilled labor. By providing smarter, more compatible, mobile and user-friendly technologies, ABB's robotics and software solutions will help customers better respond to global trends and prepare for future changes.
The ABB OmniVance Application Unit is a deployable, modular solution consisting of robots, controllers, software and other peripheral components that can be easily integrated into production lines and support low-volume production. In addition, the OmniVance application is ready to respond to changes in production needs and meet the growing demand for high-mix, low-volume production solutions. As strategic products in ABB's flexible production cell and software space, the two OmniVance application units are designed to enable fast changeovers between different types of products and easy integration with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).
ABB's booth at Automatica, Hall B5, Booth 231, will showcase both the OnmniVance FlexArc Compact Application Unit and the OmniVance Machining Cell, as well as the machining software, in both a short film and an interactive virtual showroom. In addition, there will be demonstrations of software innovations such as how the OmniVance FlexArc M application unit works with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), some cobot applications (CRB 15000 GoFa™ and CRB 1100 SWIFTI™ robots), and RobotStudio® software with new augmented and virtual reality capabilities.
"The ABB OmniVance brand brings together all of ABB's standardized application units. Leveraging ABB's more than 50 years of expertise in robotic automation, the OmniVance application unit, together with the new software, will improve integration efficiency and create a more flexible and efficient production line. Masicom added.
The OmniVance FlexArc compact unit offers space-saving and flexibility for welding applications in the smallest footprint in its class. The unit can also be easily integrated with autonomous mobile robots and up to four fixed-point robots can be added, increasing capacity without changing the cell structure.
OmniVance processing cells and processing software bring greater flexibility and ease of operation for applications such as grinding, polishing, cutting, and surface treatment. What's more, a single OmniVance machining cell is capable of up to eight different applications and can run for up to 20,000 hours without maintenance in harsh operating environments. At the same time, the new machining software reduces machine setup time by up to 92%, and is the first on the market with automatic calibration and path adjustment functions, reducing the calibration time to just 10 minutes.
1OmniVance FlexLoader™ M
At the center of ABB's booth was the OmniVance FlexLoader™ M, which integrates the AMR machine loading solution. Inside the cell, the IRB 2600 robot is picking and processing parts detected by artificial intelligence vision technology. The exhibit aims to demonstrate how autonomous mobile robots can transport workpieces on demand, enabling faster and more efficient flexible production lines.
2GoFa™
Visitors will also have the opportunity to experience the ABB GoFa robot first-hand. With a payload of 5 kg, this simple and versatile cobot is suitable for a wide range of automation applications, from assembly to machine loading and unloading to packaging. With a simple two-button design, guided programming and the ABB Wizard software, operators, including new users, can operate GoFa without the need for specialized knowledge.
The booth will begin with a demonstration of how to set up and position the GoFa gripper, followed by guided programming for arc welding applications to create their own welding paths. In addition, GoFa will demonstrate how force control and pick and place operations can be carried out with the help of ABB's robotic flexible feeding solution, the ABB AsyCube function package.
3SWIFTI™
Also on display is the ABB CRB 1100 SWIFTI™ industrial collaborative robot, which will be used together with the IRB 1300 industrial robot in clock assembly applications to complete tasks such as assembly and screw tightening. By working together between the two robots, visitors will experience how automation technology can significantly increase worker productivity by replacing humans with repetitive and monotonous tasks. SWIFTI uses ABB's SafeMove collaborative safety software to achieve the perfect combination of industrial robots and cobots: not only fast and accurate, but also without the need for fences to share workspaces with humans.
4RobotStudio®
In the designated area of Booth 231, ABB will be showcasing VR and AR technologies through RobotStudio software or AR viewer applications, where visitors will learn how software advancements can help simplify robot programming and operation, and how these tools can be used to design, test and refine entire production cells in the virtual world, saving time and reducing production interruptions.
