PPMA 2014 PREVIEW Dexterous food handling robots
Showcasing five different food handling robots, FANUC will present its biggest selection this year. IP67 and IP69K certified robots will perform palletising and food packing assembly tasks. Delta and articulated arm robots will show high levels of dexterity when handling unpackaged and packaged foods at speeds of up to 180 picks per minute. Visitors will see a variety of end-effector tools including vacuum and gripper style which will effectively pick and place the most delicate of products. Robots in action include a cell
combining an M3 delta style system and a M430 articulated arm robot which will pick biscuits and place them into blister packs. Following on an articulated arm LR Mate 200iD will pack the blister packs into retail trays. To represent packing further down the production line a FANUC M710iC/50 and an M410-iC/185 will demonstrate palletising of both trays and bulk bags. With the food industry experiencing a
rapid rise in robot integration for production processes, worker safety is a prime consideration especially when humans and robots share the same workspace. In addition FANUC will demonstrate its Dual Check Safety (DCS)
FRESH FORCE IN AUTOMATION
Leading names in control and power solutions Autotech and Igranic will exhibit together as The Automated Technology Group. Although part of the same group since 2012 Autotech and Igranic had kept distinct identities until recently when The Automated Technology Group rebranded as part of a strategy to maximise synergies and offer clients seamless expertise across an even broader range of services. The Group will promote its end-to-end solutions for industrial automation, power and control. "The PPMA Show is the UK's leading
Position & Speed Check software - a package of safety options integrated into FANUC’s R30iA and R30iB robot controllers to ensure safe monitoring of robot position and speed.
