Product Description
ABB Robots Automate Stamping Lines
Synchronized Motion with RobotWare Stamping
The key differentiator for ABB in press automation is RobotWare Stamping. This specialized software optimizes communication between ABB IRC5 or OmniCore controllers and press PLC systems. It enables "Electronic Cam" synchronization, allowing real-time tracking of press bolsters and slides.
Utilizing Path Recovery and Collision Avoidance algorithms, ABB robots can enter die areas at the earliest possible moment during press upstroke. This strategic overlap significantly reduces cycle times, enabling tandem lines to achieve speeds of 12-15 Strokes Per Minute (SPM) while maintaining 6-axis flexibility.
Technical Specification Matrix: ABB Stamping Powerhouses
Commonly deployed ABB models for press automation applications.
| Robot Model | Payload | Reach | Primary Stamping Application |

Technical FAQ: Optimizing ABB Stamping Lines
Building trustworthiness through expert technical insights.
Q1: How does ABB handle "Vibration" during high-speed transfers of large panels?
ABB utilizes TrueMove and QuickMove motion control technology. These advanced algorithms calculate the physical properties of loads (inertia, mass, center of gravity) and adjust paths in real-time. This ensures part stability even at maximum acceleration, preventing vacuum cup slippage or "oil-canning" of thin-gauge sheets.
Q2: Can I use ABB robots with a non-ABB press (e.g., AIDA, Komatsu, Schuler)?
Absolutely. ABB controllers are designed for "Agnostic Integration" and support all major industrial protocols, including PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and DeviceNet. We specialize in mapping press absolute encoder data directly into the ABB RobotWare environment for seamless synchronization.
Q3: What is the benefit of using "Shelf-Mounted" (Internal) ABB robots?
Many ABB models, such as the IRB 6700 LeanID, are specifically designed for shelf-mounting. This configuration positions robots higher relative to press beds, providing superior access to die areas and shorter "dive" distances. This approach saves significant floor space and reduces cycle times by minimizing vertical travel paths.
