GB Innomech joins ABB partner network to deliver robot-based automation to a range of fast-growing markets

GB Innomech (Innomech) is a Cambridgeshire-based engineering consultancy specialising in the automation of complex, hazardous or labour-intensive manufacturing and quality control processes in a range of markets including: pharmaceuticals, medical devices, automotive and food.

Innomech is one of the latest companies to participate in the ABB Global Partner Program and is now equipped to extend its offer to include more robot-based automation. The partnership will see both companies working together on projects to utilise ABB's extensive range of robotic solutions. In addition, Innomech will be provided with sales, marketing, technical, application and service support as well as software training for all employees.



Alan Spreckley, channel partner manager for ABBs robotics business comments, "Innomech is well-established and has a proven track record of success in major international markets such as pharmaceuticals and medical devices. By working closely together we can ensure that their customers get the most suitable robotic solutions for their needs, and provide the company with the opportunities to develop and expand its own brand, as well as help in further penetrating new markets."

Tim Mead, commercial director at Innomech comments, "ABB Robotics is one of the worlds leading suppliers of high performance industrial robots, we are delighted to have joined this partnership and have already begun to see the positive results. The UK demand for flexible, more automated and lower cost manufacturing is growing rapidly and we are increasingly being asked, even by smaller manufacturing companies, if we can develop robot-based systems that can help them remain cost competitive in a global economy.

"More and more companies are looking for automation systems that can be quickly and easily reprogrammed to handle short production runs and multiple products, while at the same time driving up quality and reducing manufacturing cost."

ABBs Global Partner Program is structured to enable further business opportunities between ABB partners providing global possibilities for business ventures.

The ERT150 - Dorner’s Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors

The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors

The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
