NEW PAINTING ROBOT SOLUTION IN A COMPACT PACKAGE
07 August 2003 - ABB Limited (Group Headquarters)

ABB, the global power and automation technologies group, introduces the new IRB 540-02S painting robot; a compact, six-axis design equipped with FlexiWrist 1000mm horizontal arm and 700mm vertical arm.

A specific advantage of the IRB 540-02S is its shorter vertical arm and narrow base, which makes it effective for painting applications in limited and narrow spaces. Another advantage is that the robot can be mounted upside-down, maximising existing space.

As a modified version of the standard IRB 540 robot, it offers the same economical benefits and powerful software, while delivering constant high quality finish and reduced overspray, thus reducing material consumption and waste.

ABB's proven surface finish technology ensures the IRB 540-02S provides high quality finish for all powder, solvent and waterborne paint processes, irrespective of product shape. That's not all ABB's 'Brush' concept allows the 'Brush' characteristics to be constantly updated to match the surface being sprayed - thus reducing cycle time and overspray.

The quality of the robot's spraying precision is matched by its high speed and fast acceleration, provided by ABB's state-of-the-art motor, drive and transmission technology. What's more, the IRB 540-02S robot uses ABB's modular S4P+ controller, which is designed to the highest level of operational reliability. In support of the S4P+, ABB offers a training programme second-to-none, thereby increasing efficiency and significantly reducing service and engineering costs.
