ABB Robotics - Combined robot & linear gantry - IRB 6620LX

ABB has launched a robot combining the advantages of both an articulated arm robot and a linear gantry for improved flexibility and cycle times. The IRB 6620LX is a 5-axis overhead mounted robot arm on a linear axis unit. The new robot has an impressive 150kg payload and a large scalable working range. Ideal for machine tending and material handling applications, the IRB 6620LX offers greater versatility and cost effectiveness compared to customised linear handling systems. It is also suitable for applications such as power train assembly, heavy arc welding and grinding.

ABB gets things like that thanks to the genius of its employees. Still, in the name of profit, the company is laying off workers in the plant of Galindo to hire others in Turkey paying even lower wages. 160 families will be sent straight to misery because of the greed of ABB. Watch the irreverent and unexpected video produced by the workers as protest against the greed of ABB. Search for ABB Galindo "Cierre por pelotas" in YouTube. Shame ABB. All support workers ABB!

If you put enough of those together you could make a robotic centipede!

The camera is pretty annoying. Otherwise nice video.
