roboFlex: Control Systems

Choose from two control systems for GÜDEL's roboFlex:

gantryRobot Control System

ABB IRC5 Robot Controller

IRC5 is ABB’s fifth generation robot controller. It sets new
standards with its modular concept, a completely new ergonomically
designed portable interface unit, the FlexPendant and fully
synchronous multiple (up to four) robot control through the MultiMove
function.

IRC5 has the ability to control multiple robots with the potential to
reduce costs, improve quality, increase productivity and expand robot
applications. MultiMove allows applications that were previously
impossible – all thanks to the perfect coordination of complex motion
patterns.
