2009-06-01: ABB’s Robotics division recently held its first ever partner seminar and roadshow in Singapore for Southeast Asia (SEA), to launch a new exciting mid-range robot family – the IRB 4600.
Partners were introduced to the fastest, most accurate, low-weight, medium-sized robot ever. In addition to presentations of the new robot family, there was an exhibition featuring key robotics technologies such as FlexPicker, Force Control, Robot Studio and Remote Service.
Anders Helgeson, Global Partner Program manager said, “We are in a start-up phase with partners here in SEA and this is really a great response. The programme is really gaining momentum. In these difficult financial times, many integrators and machine builders are looking to robotics for a new competitive advantage.”
Besides a compact and lightweight design, the robot incorporates ABB’s breakthrough sharp motion technology that defines precise performance and path accuracy with the shortest possible rapid cycle time. The IRB 4600 happens to be the most efficient robot on the market, for customers looking for a sharp robot with the best performance.
ABB is the leading supplier of industrial robots and also provides the industry with robot software, peripheral equipment, modular manufacturing cells and service. With a strong focus on solutions, ABB has been helping manufacturers improve productivity, quality and worker safety. To date, more than 160,000 ABB robots have been installed worldwide.
