⚠️ Editor's Note: The SWIFTI cobot family has been discontinued.

ABB is expanding its collaborative robot (cobot) portfolio with the GoFa and SWIFTI (CRB 1100) cobot families, offering higher payloads and speeds, to complement YuMi and Single Arm YuMi in ABB’s cobot line-up.

GoFa and SWIFTI are intuitively designed so customers don't need to rely on in-house programming specialists. This will unlock industries that have low levels of automation, with customers able to operate their cobot within minutes of installation, straight out of the box, with no specialized training.

GoFa and SWIFTI are engineered to help businesses automate processes to assist workers with tasks including material handling, machine tending, component assembly, and packaging in manufacturing, medical laboratories, logistics hubs & warehouses, workshops, and small production facilities.

GoFa offers path accuracy down to 0.03 mm and absolute precision of 0.1 mm. It's ideal for high-stakes tasks like laser welding, gluing, aerospace composites, metal cutting, 3D printing, and precision inspections. Ultra Accuracy is available on new units or as a retrofittable upgrade and integrates with RobotStudio for 99% simulation-to-reality accuracy.

Users comfortable with operating a tablet or smartphone will be able to program and reprogram the cobots with ease, using ABB's fast setup tools.

Every ABB cobot installation includes a start-up package that provides ABB Ability condition monitoring & diagnostics as well as a support hotline free for the first six months to access ABB's expert technical assistance, which offers support across all industry segments.
