Leveraging high-speed motion, intelligent control, and flexible deployment, it provides efficient and reliable production solutions for industries such as general manufacturing, electronics manufacturing, consumer goods, and new energy, meeting the needs of enterprises rapidly upgrading their automation capabilities.

What are PoWa Collaborative Robots?

PoWa collaborative robots are a series of high-speed collaborative robots designed by ABB specifically for the Chinese market. They are characterized by lightweight, compact design and high safety. They can safely collaborate with human workers to complete tasks such as handling, palletizing, loading/unloading, assembly, and welding. The new PoWa collaborative robot series is designed for compact environments and is particularly suitable for tasks requiring extremely high speed, collaboration, and efficiency. The OmniCore™ controller and rich software ecosystem support intelligent operation and rapid deployment, making it a powerful tool for enterprises to improve productivity.

PoWa Robots Improve Productivity

The PoWa series offers 10 kg and 13 kg payload models, with future expansion to multiple models ranging from 7 to 30 kg. Its compact design and high-speed motion enable rapid completion of tasks such as handling, palletizing, loading/unloading, and assembly. Its compact design and top speed of 5.8 meters per second ensure efficient operation even in space-constrained environments.

OmniCore Control Enables Rapid Deployment

Powered by an ABB OmniCore™ controller, PoWa boasts precise motion control and high-speed response. Supporting RobotStudio® and AppStudio® software, it enables no-code programming and plug-and-play peripherals. PoWa can be operational within 60 minutes of opening the box and seamlessly integrates with various tools, allowing businesses to quickly deploy, iterate and adjust production lines rapidly, reduce debugging time, and improve intelligent management.

Core Technologies Guarantee High Precision and Safety

The PoWa collaborative robot features high precision, high-speed response, and stable reliability. Frameless torque motors, precision reducers, and servo systems ensure precise motion control, while force control technology and vision systems provide autonomous perception and collision protection capabilities. Combined with AI algorithms, the robot can safely and efficiently complete tasks such as handling, assembly, and palletizing in complex environments. Its superior performance and safety features make PoWa outstanding in demanding applications such as rapid picking, palletizing, arc welding, and screw tightening.

Multi-Scenario Applications Covering Industrial and Flexible Manufacturing

PoWa is suitable for general industrial, electronics manufacturing, consumer goods, semiconductor, and new energy industries, capable of handling high-precision tasks such as material handling, palletizing, assembly, grinding, and welding. Its lightweight and modular design is particularly suitable for SMEs, while also meeting the high-capacity automation needs of large factories. Enterprises can flexibly deploy PoWa to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and achieve flexible production across different production stages.

Local R&D Providing Full-Lifecycle Service

PoWa is designed, developed, and manufactured by ABB's China team at its Shanghai Gigafactory, with full-lifecycle localized service covering the entire country. It is ready to use out of the box and can be put into production within 60 minutes. This series is designed, developed, and manufactured by the Chinese team, which also provides full-lifecycle service support, deeply tailored to the unique needs of local customers. ABB's comprehensive after-sales system ensures timely technical support and maintenance services, improving the return on investment for enterprises.
