PoWa 30
The flagship of ABB's high-speed PoWa cobot family — 30 kg payload, Power and Force Limiting plus Speed and Separation Monitoring for fenceless operation, and an OmniCore controller, aimed at heavier machine-tending, palletizing and material-handling tasks.
Full specifications
Performance
How much it lifts, how far it reaches, how precisely it repeats.
- Payload
Maximum mass the robot can carry at the wrist flange, including the gripper/tool. Higher means it can handle heavier parts.
- 30 kg 91th pct in class
- Reach
Maximum horizontal distance from the base axis to the wrist — defines the size of the work area. Higher means a larger envelope.
- 1,350 mm 74th pct in class
Power & controller
Electrical supply and the control cabinet that drives it.
- Controller
The control cabinet / unit that runs the robot.
- OmniCore
Environment
Conditions it can operate in — dust, water, temperature, cleanliness.
- IP rating (arm)
Ingress protection of the body against dust/water (IEC 60529). First digit = dust, second = water. Higher resists harsher environments.
- IP67 77th pct in class
Safety
Standards met and collaborative-operation capability.
- Collaborative
Whether the robot is designed to work safely next to people without fencing (power-and-force-limited).
- Yes
- Collab features
Collaborative safety functions: power-force-limiting, speed-and-separation monitoring, hand-guiding, safety-rated stops.
- power-force-limiting, speed-and-separation-monitoring
- Cert. cobot payload
Payload at which collaborative (force-limited) operation is still certified.
- 30 kg 91th pct in class
