ABB IRB 14000 Collaborative Robots
Product Description
Redefining safety
YuMi has a lightweight yet rigid magnesium skeleton covered with a floating plastic casing wrapped in soft padding, which absorbs the force of any unexpected impacts to a very high degree. YuMi has no pinch points so that sensitive ancillary parts cannot be crushed between two opposing surfaces as the axes open and close.
If YuMi senses an unexpected impact or change in its environment such as a collision with a coworker, it can pause its motion within milliseconds to prevent injury, and the motion can be restarted again as easily as pressing play on a remote control.
YuMi is very precise and fast, returning to the same point in space over and over again to within 0.02mm accuracy and moving at a maximum velocity of 1,500mm/sec. This ensures the safety of human coworkers on production lines and in fabricating cells
Total solution concept
ABB also develops software and manufactures hardware, peripheral equipment, process equipment and modular manufacturing cells. This “total solution” concept is evident in YuMi’s breakthrough design.
Features
– The fifth-generation, integrated IRC5 controller with TrueMove and QuickMove™ motion control technology commands accuracy, speed, cycle-time, program ability and synchronization with external devices.
– I/O interfaces include Ethernet IP, Profibus, USB ports, DeviceNet™, communication port, emergency stop and air-to-hands. YuMi accepts a wide range of HMI devices including ABB’s teach pendant, industrial displays and commercially available tablets.
– The 100–240 volt power supply plugs into any power socket for worldwide versatility.
Benefits
– Can operate equally effectively side-by-side or face-toface with human coworkers.
– Servo grippers (the “hands”) include options for built-in cameras.
– Real-time algorithms set a collision-free path for each arm customized for the required task.
– Padding protects coworkers in high-risk areas by absorbing force if contact is made.
