DESCRIPTION
Description:The Twin Robot Xbar (TRX) from ABB is the fastest robot‐based solution in the market, for loading and unloading of presses, without the need for press modification. ABB has been developing robot‐based press automation solutions for nearly two decades. Its latest innovation, the TRX, is a fast and flexible parts transfer system with an output rate of up to 16 parts per minute for big panels in tandem press lines. The TRX runs on StampWare, a proprietary software package from ABB designed to facilitate interaction between operator and press cell. All ABB Robotics' products are fully supported by the ABB Robotics’ global sales and service organization in 53 countries and over 100 locations.TRANSCRIPT

XL High speed automationStampWare specific version for TRX: StampWare Twin
StampWare is a controller software designed to make you more productive by minimizing the learning time and setup time of new production.The modularized program structure, the program wizard and the graphical production window - all together decrease the time for training that the operator and robot programmer need. Running in more than 1000 robots worldwide
Key features: Optimized power distribution efficiency
plus the stability of a double subjection 10 actuators:
8 Degrees from 2 IRB 760 (4+4) 2 actuators for crossbar tilting ββ’, γ-γ‘ and crossbar side shifting,
obtained by IRB 760 arm positions Easy to use: StampWare Twin
(Programming wizard) Enabled for 3 Cross-bar types:
Single part Side shifting for double parts Side shifting + independent tilting
Crossbar change: In bolster or in inter-press zone
One controller for twin robot system (multi-move coordinated)
