ABB Robotics - New Generation Workpiece Positioners

When working on complex parts, or with complex processes like arc welding, 6 axis may just not be enough. For these situations ABB introduces a new generation of workpiece positioners which can be fully coordinated with the movement of ABB robots. They are designed to be easy to use & integrate and employ the same drives and software as the robots.
In this movie the IRBP R type positioner demonstrates its speed, accuracy and dexterity by coordinating motion with two IRB 1600ID arc welding robots using MultiMove.

I want to get into robotics and don't know where to start? What sort of tools do I need to get started? should I read books on it first?

@sirchristian12 There are a lot of colleges & schools getting into robotics these days. Look for a course close to you. Not sure what's on offer in Ireland.

Cool man, always interesting in new robotics! :)

@TheGhostOfSabotage Glad you like. There's a load of great technology in these positions including fully dynamic digital models that optimize the servos in real time.

Only one question IRBP 1000 R or IRBP 750 R??? think 750 is right. The 1000R is only rarely in the field have seen it only once!!!

oh this makes me wish I did more complex welding...

@ABBRobotics Could I teach myself?
