B&R, a unit of ABB’s Robotics and Discrete Automation business, announced the integration of ABB robots into its automation portfolio. With the ability to offer high levels of machine flexibility and precision, merging robotics with machine control into one unified architecture will enable manufacturers to embrace the trend of mass customisation and optimise their lot size one processes.

ABB will introduce collaborative robots to medical laboratories as it opens a new healthcare hub at the Texas Medical Centre (TMC) innovation campus in Houston.

This year will see ABB Robotics Business launching an expanded range of training courses for robot operators, programmers and maintenance staff covering its paint robots and new OmniCore controller. The courses will take place at ABB’s Training Centre in Milton Keynes.

Due to a creative collaboration between the LEGO Group, HiQ and ABB, a family meal at the LEGO House in Billund, Denmark, really is something out of the ordinary!

Today ABB Robotics is proud to introduce a new era of smaller, smarter solutions that are going to have a big impact. ABB’s first offerings under this groundbreaking approach include a new single-arm YuMi robot and OmniCore, an entirely new robot controller family.

ABB will be demonstrating how robots can help UK SME manufacturing companies be more productive and competitive at its forthcoming Switch to Robots seminar.

The new single-arm YuMi is ABB’s most agile and compact collaborative robot yet and can easily integrate into existing production.

Visitors to ABB’s stand at MACH 2018 (Birmingham NEC, 9 – 13 April) will be able to see how the latest advances in robotic automation can help them find new ways to transform their productivity and efficiency.
