Seamless Integration of ABB Robots into B&R Injection & Blow Molding Controls
B&R controls are widely adopted by leading Asian manufacturers of injection‑molding machines and by European brands such as Negri Bossi, as well as on certain blow‑molding units. With the latest update, users can now integrate ABB robot control directly into these B&R‑controlled machines, covering a full spectrum of robot types—including six‑axis articulated, SCARA, delta (spider), and palletizer robots.
ABB robot control can now be seamlessly embedded within injection and blow‑molding machines that utilize B&R controls.
B&R, an Austrian subsidiary of ABB’s Robotics and Discrete Automation division, has announced the integration of ABB robots into its automation portfolio. This development allows robot and press controls to be programmed within a single application and development environment, leveraging pre‑built software components. Key advantages include the elimination of dedicated robot controllers, streamlined communication across all axes and sensors on a unified network, and a significant reduction in system complexity.
