ABB IRB 6600 Vision-Guided Racking and De-Racking System

This article describes how Ford Motor Company's Buffalo Stamping Plant implemented a unique automation solution using ABB IRB 6600 robots with TrueView vision-guided technology and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) to rack and de-rack stampings for robotic welding lines. The system eliminates manual labor, reduces the need for precision equipment, and was installed during a plant shutdown to minimize production disruption.
