ABB IRB 930 SCARA robot

ABB Robotics is expanding its industrial SCARA robot range with the addition of the IRB 930. The robot comes in three variants capable of handling 12 and 22 kg payloads and is engineered for fast point-to-point tasks that demand high payloads and large work areas.

The 22 kg variant delivers a 10% increase in throughput by handling more and heavier workpieces at once. The IRB 930 also provides a 200% increase in push-down strength (with a maximum downward force of 250 N) making it suitable for force-intensive operations such as screwdriving and assembly tasks required when working with components such as battery cells, display panels and solar modules.

ABB’s OmniCore controller will power the IRB 930. The OmniCore controller offers motion control through TrueMove and QuickMove alongside built-in digital connectivity and scalable functions. The motion control provides a cycle time of 0.38 s, with a repeatability deviation position of 0.01 mm.

These high-performance SCARA robots are designed for use in various industries such as packaging and manufacturing where high speed and high repeatability pick-and-place and assembly operations are required.
