ABB SWIFTI

A high-speed industrial cobot bridging the gap between collaborative and conventional robots.

Overview

This collaborative robot is designed for industrial environments, balancing safe human interaction with high-speed performance. It achieves this through a combination of ABB's SafeMove system and an external laser scanner, enabling operation without safety fences. The system dynamically adjusts speed when personnel are present.
