Cut cycle times and boost throughput with industrial-grade cobot speed
For manufacturers running high-cycle machine tending or handling operations, standard cobots often can't keep pace, while a full industrial robot cell demands guarding and floor space many production lines can't spare. Built around ABB's PoWa cobot family, this solution delivers genuinely industrial cycle speeds — over 5 m/s at rated payload — in a compact, collaborative footprint that can share space safely with your operators.
PoWa's payload range (7kg to 30kg across six variants) means the same core solution scales from light, fast handling tasks up to heavier palletizing and material loading, so SMS can specify the right configuration to your actual part weight and cycle time rather than fitting your application to a fixed robot size. Deployment is fast too — typically under an hour from unboxing to running, thanks to no-code setup and plug-and-play tooling integration.
exceeding 5 m/s at rated payload, closing the gap with dedicated industrial robots
built-in force limiting and speed monitoring allow safe shared workspace with operators, no guarding required in most applications
no-code programming and plug-and-play tool integration mean typical setup in under an hour
10kg to 30kg payload range on a consistent controller and software ecosystem, so the solution grows with your application rather than requiring a different robot family
