Ceiling-Mounted SCARA Robot Offers Flexibility

ABB offers its invert-mounted SCARA IRB 910INV. By mounting the IRB 910INV on the ceiling, manufacturers can increase the space efficiency and flexibility of each cell and do more complex tasks even in confined spaces. The ceiling mounting also allows the IRB 910INV to collaborate with other robots and machines simultaneously in the same footprint, further boosting productivity.

"Since we introduced our SCARA robot line, customers have been interested in a ceiling-mounted version that would allow them to make more efficient use of confined spaces. We are pleased to offer our IRB 910INV, which brings the flexibility our customers are looking for along with the same speed and accuracy they have come to expect from ABB," said Per Vegard Nerseth, Managing Director of Robotics at ABB.

The IRB 910INV has the same motion control as the original ABB IRB 910 family, for repeatable point-to-point accuracy in picking and placing, assembly and testing. This includes electronics small parts assembly tasks such as screw driving, inserting or mounting components, and automated inspections solutions for quality control.

The IRB 910INV is certified for cleanroom applications. The compact and lightweight IRB 910INV is offered in two variants: one has a maximum payload of 3 kg with 350 mm reach, and one has a maximum of 6 kg payload with 550 mm reach. ABB's SCARA robots are suitable for applications that require fast yet highly accurate point-to-point movements, such as electronics assembly, laboratory automation and dispensing.
