With the FlexGripper – Vacuum, ABB’s IRB 660 and IRB 460 palletizing robots can operate even more efficiently in end-of-line palletizing applications. The FlexGripper can handle up to 40 kilograms and 10 products simultaneously, offering excellent versatility for various packaging needs.
FlexGrippers are designed for easy installation and programming. The robot’s FlexPendant user interface comes preconfigured with FlexGripper’s I/O signals, significantly reducing setup and programming time. The graphical interface simplifies the testing of palletizing processes — for example, checking the pick-and-place operation can be done with just one click.
ABB’s palletizing robot range and FlexGrippers are fully supported by RobotStudio Palletizing PowerPac software. This user-friendly tool comes preloaded with all ABB robot and gripper templates, allowing even users with little or no programming experience to create programs, run simulations, and design complete palletizing systems. This configuration-based approach can reduce deployment time by up to 80% compared to traditional programming methods.
The FlexGripper – Vacuum uses sensors to verify the presence of boxes across 10 individually programmable vacuum zones. The vacuum rails are adjustable to fit various box sizes, and the gripper also includes a built-in pallet handling option. Delivered fully assembled with all air hoses and signal cables, the FlexGripper is ready to plug and play with your chosen robot model.
