Canonical robot record
Overview
SWIFTI is ABB's industrial collaborative robot, built on its IRB 1100 industrial platform to deliver the speed, robustness, and precision of an industrial robot while still allowing safe collaboration with human operators. It targets the gap between conventional collaborative robots, which are typically slow, and fully fenced industrial robots, which exclude people from the workspace.
The robot relies on ABB's SafeMove collaborative safety software paired with a safety laser scanner. When an operator enters SWIFTI's working area, the robot automatically slows down or stops; once the area is clear, it resumes and returns to full operating speed, enabling fenceless deployment in shared workspaces.
SWIFTI is suited to applications such as assembly, polishing, and material handling where a human needs to remain present for supervision, part repositioning, or finishing work alongside the robot. ABB lists the model as phased out and succeeded by the GoFa CRB 15000, though it states that support including spare parts and service remains available.
RoboZaps maintains this record as part of its canonical robotics database. Specs are source-verified where linked; the record compares public facts across manufacturers rather than representing a single robot maker.

Key Features
- Fenceless human-robot collaboration using ABB's SafeMove collaborative safety system combined with a safety laser scanner that slows or stops the robot when an operator enters the working area
- Industrial-grade operating speed that is substantially faster than comparable collaborative robots in its class, narrowing the gap to fully industrial robots
- High positional precision suited to demanding tasks such as insertion, polishing, and screw-driving
- Flexible mounting in floor, ceiling/inverted, table, and wall orientations for integration into varied workcells
- Based on ABB's IRB 1100 industrial robot platform for robustness and accuracy

Record changelog
- Locomotion: Wheeled changed to Stationary (fixed-mount arm; any-angle mounting) · Jul 9, 2026
tranche-7 verification (corrected): Datasheet mounting: 'Any angle' — it is a fixed arm. 'Wheeled' is flatly wrong (same defect as abb-gofa).
- Battery Life: 8 hours changed to Not applicable — mains-powered fixed arm via OmniCore C30 controller, no battery · Jul 9, 2026
tranche-7 verification (corrected): Fixed industrial cobot on an OmniCore C30 controller; no battery exists. '8 hours' is mobile-robot bleed. Recommend row deletion.
- Sensors: LiDAR, 3D cameras, safety scanners changed to SafeMove safety controller + external safety laser scanner (safety PLC required) + interaction status light; no LiDAR or 3D cameras onboard · Jul 9, 2026
tranche-7 verification (corrected): Datasheet/PR: collaborative safety = SafeMove + safety laser scanner (footnote: 'Safety PLC is required for connection with the laser scanner') + interaction light.
- Max Speed: 2 m/s changed to 5.05 m/s max TCP velocity (CRB 1100-4/0.58, ISO 9283; 4.32 m/s for the 0.475 variant; safe collaborative speed dynamically limited by the laser-scanner/SafeMove setup) · Jul 9, 2026
tranche-7 verification (corrected): Datasheet: Max TCP Velocity 5.05 m/s (-4/0.58). ABB PR: 'speeds of over 5 m/s, 5 times faster than other 4 kg cobots'. Stored 2 m/s is the collaborative-mode/typica
- Payload Capacity: 10 kg changed to 4 kg (all CRB 1100 variants; armload 0.5 kg) · Jul 9, 2026
tranche-7 verification (corrected): Datasheet spec table: CRB 1100-4/0.475 and -4/0.58 both 4 kg payload. Stored 10 kg matches no CRB 1100 variant — possibly bled from the SWIFTI CRB 1300 sibling fami
