ABB Robotics in Industrial Automation

ABB Robotics, with its headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland, and a massive manufacturing facility in Bangalore, is one of the four major industrial robot manufacturers globally. ABB robots are widely used in Indian manufacturing, making ABB robotics knowledge valuable for automation engineers in Bangalore.

ABB's robot portfolio spans from small collaborative robots (cobots) like the YuMi to large industrial robots capable of handling payloads exceeding 500 kg. Their application areas include welding, painting, assembly, material handling, packaging and machine tending across automotive, electronics, food and beverage and general manufacturing.

The RAPID programming language is ABB's proprietary robot programming language. RAPID is a high-level structured language that supports modular programming, data types, error handling and multitasking. Unlike FANUC's teach pendant-centric approach, ABB promotes offline programming using RobotStudio simulation software.

RobotStudio is a powerful PC-based simulation and offline programming tool that allows engineers to create, simulate and optimise robot programmes without accessing the physical robot. This reduces production downtime and enables virtual commissioning. At EDWartens, our robotics training covers ABB robot fundamentals alongside FANUC, preparing you for the diverse robotics landscape in Indian industry.
