Endoline announces partnership with robotic specialist ABB
Endoline Machinery are set to launch complete packaging assembly lines with robotic pick and place systems as part of a new partnership with ABB Limited - one of the world’s leading robotic companies. The ABB robot will form an integral part of Endoline’s new packaging module which will be built and
programmed into an Endoline conveyor system. The conveyor will feed from a high speed case erector and into a case sealer –the type of Endoline machines will be determined based on each customer’s individual needs - highlighting the diversity of this project. At the forthcoming interpack show (Hall 5, Stand 5F04-5), Endoline will showcase the new line using an ABB IRB1600 robot – which delivers maximum output from a smaller footprint. The move into robotics follows a staggering 300% rise in the demand for industrial robots within the UK food and beverage sector over the last three years. However this increase is still notably behind that of the industry’s counterparts
throughout Europe, particularly Germany and Sweden, which boasts take up rates of up to 240 robots per 10,000 workers – compared to the UK’s 52 robots per 10,000 workers. This is particularly significant to Endoline who are
currently driving international sales and has witnessed a 30% increase in exports over a 12 month period. Alan Yates, CEO of Endoline Machinery, commented: “We are delighted to become part of ABB’s Robotic Partner Network. With their network of global offices we are looking forward to working with them to support out our worldwide activities especially in China where we are opening a satellite manufacturing unit.” Alan Spreckley, Channel Partner
Manager of ABB Robotics commented: “Endoline Machinery is
renowned globally as the leader in their field of producing high quality and extremely reliable end of line packaging equipment. ABB are proud and very pleased to welcome Endoline into the ABB Global Partner Programme and look forward to a long and successful partnership.”
