Overview

A collaborative version of ABB's IRB 1100 industrial arm, launched in February 2021 with GoFa. Instead of torque-sensing joints it uses a safety laser scanner and SafeMove zones, running at full industrial speed (over 5 m/s) when nobody is near and slowing or stopping as a person approaches. A larger SWIFTI CRB 1300 with 7–11 kg payload followed in December 2022.
