Programming and Software
Controller
The YuMi IRB 14000 runs on the ABB IRC5 (integrated) controller. IRC5 is ABB's long-established robot controller platform.
RAPID and RobotStudio
Programs are written in ABB's RAPID language and can be created, simulated and tested offline in RobotStudio before they are loaded to the robot.
Lead-Through Teaching
Positions can be taught by guiding the arms by hand, which shortens setup for assembly tasks.
Industrial Communication
Published interfaces are EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS, DeviceNet and USB.
ABB YuMi IRB 14000 Applications and Use Cases
Typical applications for the YuMi IRB 14000 are assembly, machine tending, screwdriving, material handling and inspection.
Small-Parts Assembly
Two arms can hold a component with one hand and fit or fasten with the other, which suits assembly of small electronic and mechanical products.
Handling and Kitting
The arms pick, orient and place small parts into trays, fixtures and packaging.
Inspection and Testing
One arm can present a part to a camera or test fixture while the other prepares the next one.
