OmniVance Collaborative Robot Surface Finishing Cell This plug-and-play ABB Robotics work cell integrates a GoFa cobot and is designed to automate part-surface finishing tasks, such as sanding and polishing. Target industries and parts include the aerospace and automotive sectors, with interior components made from plastic and composite materials; train and yacht interiors; and components for the defense industry.
What’s new? The cobot work cell.
Benefits Reduced processing time and cost. Compared to manual finishing, the work cell provides higher throughput, industrial-grade quality and flexibility. It requires no special engineering to set up, and programming is simple, thanks to ABB’s Wizard Easy Programming software.
