Product Leaflet 3 pages · 599 KB · EN
The document tells the story of Itech’s adoption of an ABB IRB 4400 robot, called “Abby”, to automate the ultrasonic welding of plastic spools. By integrating the 6‑axis robot, Itech reduced labor, cycle time and achieved a rapid return on investment.
Key results include a 45 % reduction in man‑hours, a 23 % cut in cycle time, and an ROI of under eight months, allowing the company to increase capacity and maintain its safety record.
