[Erkan Teskancan]

ABB Robotics introduces its new high-speed PoWa cobot family, offering high performance and increased payload capacity in collaborative robots. This new series aims to lower the automation barrier for both SMEs and large enterprises, providing industrial-grade flexibility and power.

Andrea Cassoni, Head of Collaborative Robots at ABB Robotics, states that cobots are growing faster than industrial robots due to small and medium-sized firms transitioning to automation and large enterprises' demands for speed and payload capacity. The PoWa family addresses these demands with its compact design and ease of use.

### PoWa Cobot Family Features

• Industrial-grade performance
• 6 different payload capacities ranging from 7 kg to 30 kg
• Longest reach and highest arm load in the industry
• Maximum speed of 5.8 m/s (PoWa 10 and PoWa 13 models)
• Suitable for high-speed machine tending, palletizing, screwing, and arc welding applications
• Easy to use with programmable buttons on the arm and code-free programming support
• Compatibility with a wide third-party accessory ecosystem
• Operational within 1 hour out of the box

PoWa cobots provide superior motion control, speed, and precision with the ABB OmniCore control platform. Additionally, they offer easy programming and high efficiency through integration with AI-powered software like Robot Studio and Wizard Easy Programming.

With this new generation of collaborative robots, ABB Robotics aims for faster, safer, and smarter automation solutions in the industry by developing more autonomous, flexible, and multi-skilled robots.
