ABB's robotics responds to changes by reflecting today's reality in their equipment. New design: ABB introduces Dynamic Design with unique shapes and surfaces; New color: starting from May 2014, the color of all standard robots changes from orange to white graphite; An era of collaboration: a new design signals the transition to an era in which humans and robots work together; A strong global brand: ABB is uniquely positioned to provide complete solutions. In 1974, ABB introduced the world's first fully electric, microprocessor-controlled industrial robot. Over the past 40 years, the industrial robotics industry has seen a surprising number of incredible improvements and innovations. Likewise, the products offered by ABB have improved and developed, but one thing has remained the same: the color of the robots. At the time when ABB began supplying new robotic products, it was clearly decided that orange was the most appropriate color for safety. We wanted people to always remember that they are working with equipment that can be potentially dangerous. But times change, and ABB is changing with them. Today we are entering a new era of robotics, in which the interaction between humans and robots is real. Recent advances in software and hardware have created a new generation of robots that can work safely around humans. In the past, bright color was essential for safety, but in the new era, robots are more friendly. At the same time, ABB itself has changed. We are aware of the strength of our brand worldwide and our unique ability to provide complete customer solutions. The new design and color ensures that you can easily recognize ABB robots. “Today we are announcing a new look that is both more modern and better suited to an era of collaboration,” says Per Vegard Nerseth, Head of Robotics at ABB Group. “We call this style“ Dynamic Design ”and it is based on ABB's concept of effective solutions for a dynamic world. Besides the fact that the new look includes unique shapes and surfaces, it also comes with a new color - "graphite white". The best example of the new design is the recently launched IRB 6700 robot. Everything from the manipulator surfaces to the color is done in a new style. Since May 2014, all ABB standard robots have started to be shipped in graphite white, and every new robot we release will now also be based on a dynamic design philosophy. The traditional orange color will remain free until the end of 2014, but our customers will continue to be able to order our robots in any color they wish. ABB's Robotics Department is proud to have had a profound impact on the industry over the past 40 years. With the introduction of a new style, we are preparing for the next 40 years of incredible innovation and close collaboration with our partners around the world.
