Reality check

A demo shows what may be possible. These points help judge whether the product fits day-to-day use.

Works well when
  • Stable, repetitive handling, tending, welding or assembly
  • Processes with known parts, fixtures and cycle times
  • Cells where an integrator can own commissioning
What to check
  • Payload after adding the gripper and cables
  • End effector, vision and safety-cell cost
  • Changeover time when the part or fixture changes
Not a magic solution
  • A solution for a process that changes every day
  • A turnkey cell without integration and safety work
  • A reason to skip measuring the current process

About

ABB PoWa is a collaborative arm family for machine tending, handling, palletizing, welding and assembly, using the OmniCore controller. Its six listed variants have payloads of 7, 10, 13, 16, 20 and 30 kg; wrist and flange reach are specified separately. ABB attributes speeds exceeding 5 m/s with rated payload to PoWa 10 and PoWa 13, not every model. Safety functions include power/force limiting and speed/separation monitoring; protective measures and operating speed still depend on the application. The official page states global availability through an ABB enquiry form.
