AUTOMATED PALLETIZER
ABB says its IRB 660 is a dedicated palletizer that provides the ultimate combination of speed, reach and payload. The exceptionally fast four-axis machine combines a 3.15-meter reach with a 250-kilogram payload, making it ideal for palletizing boxes, crates, bottles, and more. Its optimized motor power and motion performance ensures the shortest possible cycle times. The palletizer comes in a high-speed version, capable of handling 180-kilogram payloads at full speed, and in a 250-kilogram version for high throughput. The robot’s impressive reach means it can service up to four in-feed conveyors, two pallet stacks, one slip-sheet stack, and four palletizing out-feeding lines.
