PoWa™

High speed cobot family built for industrial performance

A name that symbolizes powerful performance, PoWa  brings industrial grade performance to collaborative automation without compromising on safety or ease of use. With speeds exceeding 5m/s with rated payload, PoWa  sets a new benchmark for high speed collaborative robots.

 

PoWa  combines the compact, lightweight design of a cobot with exceptional speed, enabling manufacturers to automate demanding and productivity-driven industrial applications including machine tending, material handling, palletizing, welding and screwdriving. 

 

Built for fast deployment, PoWa  can be up and running in as little as 60 minutes*, supported by no code programming and plug and play setup. Its fenceless operation and collaborative safety features allow PoWa  to work efficiently alongside people in space constrained or brownfield environments.  

 

A family of powerful cobots

The PoWa  portfolio spans payloads from 7 kg up to 30 kg, offering a scalable solution for a wide range of industrial applications all within one powerful cobot family.                                                                                       

*tested on PoWa 10 and PoWa 13 - Pick and place application

Best in class speed for higher productivity: <p>With speeds exceeding 5 m/s with rated payload, PoWa is truly the fastest cobot family in its class. Its exceptional speed and torque enable faster cycle times in machine tending, material handling, screwdriving and palletizing applications, helping manufacturers increase output and productivity. *Speed of PoWa10 and PoWa13.</p>

Fast deployment with smarter tool connectivity: <p>PoWa ’s powerful CPCS with configurable signals and fieldbus support multiple tools, enabling fast, plug &amp; play integration of simultaneous gripper and vision systems, reducing integration effort and system complexity.</p>

Up to 19% longer reach: <p>Extended reach across the PoWa family enables increased flexibility for applications including Inspection and arc-welding.</p>

Easy to use, easy to adapt: <p>Arm side programmable buttons and Wizard easy programming allow operators to efficiently interact and reconfigure PoWa as needed.</p>

Safe collaboration in fenceless environments: <p>Built in Power and Force Limiting (PFL) and Speed and Separation Monitoring (SSM) enable PoWa to operate safely alongside people in fenceless shared workspaces.</p>

Broad payload range for maximum flexibility: <p>With payload options from 7 kg up to 30 kg, the PoWa portfolio supports a wide range of applications, from fast handling tasks to heavier industrial operations, allowing customers to scale automation within one consistent product family.</p>

Robust protection for demanding environments: <p>With IP65/ IP67 protection, PoWa is built to withstand dust, moisture, and harsh industrial conditions. Combined with ISO Class 4/5 CR cleanroom compatibility, PoWa opens a wider range of applications with greater reliability and up-time.</p>

Flexible arm design for welding and complex tasks: <p>A 7 to 10kg arm load on Axis 3 (lower arm) enables greater flexibility when mounting tools and cables. This userfriendly design is especially well suited for arc welding applications, allowing easier integration of welding equipment, improved cable routing, and smoother robot motion, resulting in more stable processes and higher weld quality.</p>

Lightweight cobot design powered by ABB’s OmniCore™ controller: <p>PoWa combines a compact, lightweight cobot design with the performance and responsiveness of ABB’s OmniCore™ controller, delivering fast motion control, smooth operation, and reliable perfor-mance across demanding applications.</p>
