ModulFlex

The ABB ModulFlex is able to store and exchange 6 different tooling jigs. This allows multiple parts to be produced on the same station thus reusing the investment across these parts. It also allows the introduction of future parts onto the same line. The ModulFlex allows fully random production, without affecting the cycle time of the production line.

The modular concept allows new tooling can be added over time with no effect to the existing production. This allows gradually investment over time as more flexibility can be introduced when needed.

The ABB ModulFlex can be installed on any shop floor without the need of a pit or elevated hardware. All motion is controlled through the ABB Robot controller, the IRC5. The ModulFlex uses the IRC5’s advanced coordinated motion and multi-tasking abilities, removing this complexity from the operator and programmer. This makes the commissioning and operation of the ModulFlex station simpler, faster and safer.

The ABB ModulFlex replaces custom machines with a reliable robust product. Its standardized design is validated, and uses proven components and technology. Tooling can be repaired offline and maintained in its storage, resulting in higher up-time of the production line. The offer includes fully product support, comprehensive documentation, maintenance information and spare parts.
