ABB Robotics - Controlling the force in aluminum production

Published on Jun 25, 2015

MWS Group--a major German automotive aluminum supplier--sees numerous benefits from using ABB’s Force Control package.

Due to its low weight in relation to its strength, aluminum is
one of the most important materials in the automotive industry. The MWS Group supplies almost all major car manufacturers and specializes in the production of highly complex, ready to install aluminum castings. At Garching, near Munich, the company uses sand casting to manufacture items such as engine mounts, differential housings and oil pans. These components are then cut and milled by an IRB 6660 ABB industrial robot in a production cell manufactured by AutomationsRobotic GmbH.

The IRB 6660 is the most rigid of the articulated ABB robots. Its robust design makes it ideally suited to MWS’s needs.
