ABB's transformer factory in Chongqing


Established in 1998, ABB's transformer factory in Chongqing is the group's largest investment in China. Transformers are typically used for power transmission and distribution systems, such as in large substations. The generator transformers produced in Chongqing are used in power generation to increase the voltage of the electricity produced at a power plant for long-distance transmission. ABB's transformers are widely used in China and play an important role in many of the country's key projects. In 2009, Chongqing began designing and manufacturing high voltage direct current (HVDC) converter transformer to support China's growing need for high-voltage transmission systems.

ABB Robotics - Packaging Assembly


Vivabox is one of packaging producer BDMO's largest product lines at its factory in Meulebeke, a town in the Flanders, Belgium. When they needed a solution to their automated packaging assembly needs BDMO requested offers from ABB System Integrator Viscon. Viscon's winning offer proposed a 'pick-and-place' system that could handle 1200 trays an hour. A tight fit problem was resolved by using the 6-axis functionality of ABB's IRB 120 robot; it inserts the tray at an angle before pushing it firmly down to the base and onto spots of glue. The resulting solution now runs 16 hours a day in two shifts. Needless to say, the cost savings have been significant. Looking ahead, BDMO will use robots to automate other production processes; for example, inserting one finished box inside another in order to reduce shipping costs.

ABB Robotics - Laser Cutting


As the use of ultra high strength steel, tubular steel and hydro formed parts becomes more mainstream, traditional laser machines may not be the best solution to cutting shapes and holes in parts. The answer? Robotic laser systems that offer the flexibility of industrial robots with lower capital costs and smaller footprint than traditional laser machining centers. But motion control & path accuracy of the robot is critical for success. ABB's innovative robot software, rigid arm design, and Iterative Learning Control provides the most accurate path creation of any robot in the industry. It also has the fastest acceleration and deceleration, which translates to shorter cycle times and increased production. State-of-the-art precision features include: Iterative Learning Control (ILC), Automatic Friction Compensation, Dynamic Motion Model, TrueMove™ and QuickMove™ software. Integration with ABB's RobotStudio™ off-line programming software also means fast, accurate programming for laser processing applications.

ABB Robotics - Picking and packing salami snacks


High-speed ABB FlexPicker robots equipped with specially developed grippers are making sure that Peperami salamis are packaged at the highest cycle rates at Unilever's plant in Ansbach, Germany. The robots are fitted with triple grippers which are able to pick up three randomly positioned salami snacks one after the other from a conveyor belt in a one step process, and place them individually in a rollstock machine. The positioning and location data required comes from an upstream image processing system which is positioned to capture the information on the individual sausages and pass it on to a master computer. Unilever commissioned ABB Robotics partner, robomotion GmbH from Stuttgart, to plan and design the fully automated solution; and install and commission the entire system at Unilever within 10 days. "This high-speed technology is not only of interest in the foodstuffs sector, as it can be used anywhere where small items have to be handled at high speeds" says Andreas Wolf, a director of robomotion. Unilever's chief engineer, Carim Gad, concludes "With the new system, we're running the packaging machine at full capacity, giving us a performance increase of up to 25 percent compared with manual loading. The ability to cover peak loads is of particular interest. For example, in the run-up to the Football World Cup, special production shifts were operating at the weekend. This alone gave us a competitive edge, enabling us to deliver Peperamis to our customers on <b>...</b>

ABB Robotics - Painting wind turbine rotor blades


Enercon has installed two ABB robots in its new paint facilities for painting rotor blades. This is the first installation of its kind, able to complete the entire finishing process on large dimension rotor components. Finishing consists of two layers: The first layer is the gel coat. . The ABB robots provides the exact amount of gel coat for the required thickness: Depending on the amount of stress on a particular area, thicknesses may vary between 0.3 mm where loads are light and 0.6 mm along the leading edge or so-called nose (part of blade in first contact with wind) where loads are particularly high. The second layer is an environmentally friendly water-based varnish. Colour schemes ranging from plain grey to diagonal red-white-red-grey stripes are fully automatically coordinated without having to stop the facility in-between. Paint and finishing robots require extremely sophisticated control systems. An even coat can only be obtained with smooth-flowing motions. This is achieved by using seven axis paint robots. The electronic control system not only coordinates the robots seven axes but at the same time monitors all the other technical parameters such as temperature, viscosity, spray pressure and the correct paint dosage, explains Torsten Link, ENERCONs expert for blade finishing. Enercon manufacture the world's largest turbine blades with rotor diameters of over 125 meters. The paint protects the blades against the weather conditions which they are exposed to <b>...</b>

Allman Brothers - Soul Serenade [In Memory Of King Curtis]


This album was recorded live at A&R Studios, New York, on August 26, 1971 and broadcast in stereo on WPLJ-FM. The objective of the broadcast was to promote their "Live At Fillmore East" album. The show was recorded two weeks after the death of King Curtis, who was a great friend, and a huge influence to the late, great Duane Allman, who also, tragically lost his life in a motorcycle crash in Macon on October 29, just two months after this show. During the broadcast, Duane pauses to reflect on his late friend: About King Curtis - that was one of the finest cats there ever was. He was just right on top of getting next to young people, you know? Its a shame. If yall get the chance, listen to that album he made out at Fillmore West Boy, its incredible, its unbelievable, the power and the emotional stature the man had. Hes an incredible human being". A little over eight minutes into the song, You Dont Love Me", Duane slows the band, leading everyone into his own version of Soul Serenade. When Duane repeats the melody of the song , the audience begins clapping along to the lovely tune. Suddenly, Duane jumps in and absolutely cuts the melody to shreds with one of the most emotional and passionate solos you will ever hear, taking it to another amazing level. This is an incredible powerful, graceful, and loving musical eulogy for his lost friend. The group was founded in 1969 by Duane Allman (b. Nov. 20, 1946-d. Oct. 29, 1971) on guitar; Gregg Allman (b.

ABB Robotics - Service Support & Remote Service


ABB's Remote Service concept is aimed at extending the mean time between failure of robots and robotic components. It will shorten the subsequent mean time to repair and lower the overall cost of ownership of the robot unit. An additional beneficiary will be the environment, with fewer service related call outs, travelling and fuel costs involved. With Remote Service, the robot itself automatically alerts the central database. It triggers an SMS to the on-call service engineer, who can immediately access a detailed data and error log and quickly identify the exact fault. From that moment on, ABB can support the customer remotely (in 50 percent of cases, the robot can be brought back on line without any further intervention) or through direct access to the robot's control system. If parts need to be replaced, the replacement item can either be shipped from local stores or from one of the ABB central warehouses, and a service engineer can be quickly dispatched to fit the new part.

ABB Robotics - Assembly of electrical sockets


When it comes to using robots to increase productivity, reduce costs & improve working conditions for employees ABB is happy to practice what it preaches. So when ABB Elektro-Praga decided to install a new production line for its "child-proof" dual-plug electrical safety socket at its factory in the Czech town of Jablonec, it chose a system that featured three robots purchased from ABB Robotics. "The small IRB 140 robot is ideal for this task. Although it's small, it is exceptionally fast, accurate and powerful -- it has one of the fastest cycle times of any articulated robot," confirms Petr Prade, Chief of Design at MMT, the system integrator that built & installed the new production line. Jana Dolková, who used to help assemble the sockets by hand before the advent of the robots, believes the new system is actually more "people friendly" than the one it replaced: "The sockets we are making contain fiddly components like screws and springs ... before, I almost had to squint to see them. This is a much healthier environment for me." "And of course," Dolková adds, "unlike humans, the robots leave no fingerprints!" At the moment, Elektro-Praga -- which specializes in low-voltage circuit breakers, switches, control products, wiring accessories and cable systems -- only employs the ABB robot system to turn out its "Tango" line of dual plug sockets. But in the near future, it plans to use it for several other variants. In fact, as it takes no more than 10 minutes to set up the <b>...</b>
