…The same simplicity applies to programming the SWIFT CRB 1300, said ABB. Users can set up the robot by either physically guiding it through a process (lead-through programming) or through ABB’s new Wizard Easy Programming software. Based on simple graphical blocks, Wizard Easy Programming makes programming accessible for non-specialists in robotics, ABB said. The SWIFTI CRB 1300 is designed to…

…costs associated with set up, programming, and ongoing maintenance. For cash-strapped small and midsize enterprises (SMEs) struggling to find a solution to long-term labor shortages, the numbers don’t add up. Footprint is also a challenge. Traditional palletizing robots take up a considerable amount of precious floorspace compared with the alternatives because of the size of the robots themselves and the…

…of this possible. Traditional robot programming is very time consuming. It’s also very limited in its capabilities. You program a specific action or series of actions. But the robot is limited to those activities or range of motions. The robot can’t go beyond and perform new tasks without new programming. We’re trying to go beyond this by using completely different…
