The ABB 7th axis is an additional external axis integrated to the robot wrist which transports the part from press to press maintaining the part orientation and thus following so the optimal, natural path.
Benefits
- Increase output thanks to:
- Less time inside the press
- Less interpress distance required
- Less workpiece inertia and vibrations
- More robot overlap inside the press
- Reduce interpress distance up to below 6 meters
- Keep part orientation
