The "Robot Automation & Products" (RAP) division with about 120 employees develops and manufactures, amongst others, complete robot cells for the automotive supplier and general industries. The company is structured into several divisions. Individual solutions for the systems business as well as function packages for defined applications are developed here – on the basis of the extensive range of ABB robots. This is precisely the field of activity of ABB Automation GmbH in Friedberg in Hesse. Application solutions "focused on robots" Here interventions are frequently required in the control systems of the adjoining machines in order to embed the robot optimally into the production process. This applies both for the hardware, where the corresponding conveying and handling technology is required, and for the software. In addition, the automated work center has to be embedded in the overall process. This system encompasses, amongst others, an individually developed complex gripper, the required safety technology and often additional positioners as well.
A user who wants to automate extensively requires a complete system of which the robot is only one component – even if the most important one. One robot alone does not yet make an automation solution. Migration from EPLAN 5.70 to P8 has been successful - the company is highly satisfied, as shown in an experience report of the "Robot Automation & Products" division. In electrical engineering design ABB was one of the first to use EPLAN Electric P8 – successfully. ABB Automation GmbH is extraordinarily successful both in product-related growth and in selected application solutions with robots.
