IRB 460

The IRB 460 is the world’s fastest palletizing robot, capable of significantly shortening cycle times and raising productivity for end-of line and bag palletizing. With a reach of 2.4 meters and 110-kilogram payload capacity, this compact, four-axis robot can achieve up to 2,190 cycles per hour with a 60 kg load That’s 15 percent faster than its nearest rival.

Utilizing ABB’s motion control software, QuickMove™ and TrueMove™, the IRB 460 ensures palletizing is carried out with smooth movements and high path accuracy. This means even the most sensitive products will be handled with great care without loosing cycle time.

By combining the IRB 460 high speed palletizer with the ABB FlexGripper - Claw and RobotStudio with Palletizing PowerPac you get the fastest robotic bag palletizing system in the world. With all elements working together path accuracy is optimized to ensure that your products will not only be handled very fast, but also with the utmost care.

The robot’s robust and rigid design – manufactured to automotive industry standards – ensures high uptime and low maintenance costs. The IRB 460 also features integrated process cabling which helps extend life and reduces wear.

Our user-friendly software, RobotStudio with Palletizing PowerPac – which runs on a regular PC – lets users who have no robot programming experience create programs and simulations; and design palletizing installations. The software is used to “configure” palletizing systems rather than program them and reduces programming time by up to 80%.
