eading global provider of materials handling solutions,
Interroll, will be showcasing its cutting-edge Special Hygienic Conveyor (SHC) for food processors at the PPMA Show. The SHC has been designed to enhance food safety and operational efficiency while meeting the stringent hygiene compliance requirements of food processing companies. Manufactured in the
highest quality stainless steel for durability, resistance to corrosion, and easy cleaning,
all components of the conveyor system are also waterproof to at least IPX5 certification. Hilton Campbell, managing director of Interroll UK said: “After a year away from the PPMA show, we are back with something very exciting to present to the market. The SHC is a premium product based on our proven long- lasting technologies. For food processors and manufacturers we’ve gone a step further to deliver a robust conveyor that offers the absolute premium in hygienic operations. “The SHC’s smooth surfaces, rounded corners, and open-frame designs facilitate easy cleaning. Coupled with our highly hygienic drum motors that do not allow water ingress, there is no better option for food processors that are committed to the safety of their product. “We are very much looking forward to showcasing the SHC to OEMs, system integrators, engineers and end- users that are seeking a first-class conveyor product.” The SHC features a modular design, allowing for easy customisation and scalability. It integrates seamlessly into existing production lines and can be configured with ease. Its Zero Pressure Accumulation feature, a first for the food sector, ensures quick and smooth conveying without product contact, enhancing efficiency and reducing environmental impact and operational costs by up to 50%.

Interroll ABB expands GoFaTM
· New GoFa™ variants set new banchmark with higher payloads, best-in-class reach, and market-leading repeatability
· Cat 3/PLd safety certified for close collaboration with workers
· Lowers barriers to entry further for first-time users, SMEs and educators with easy programming and rapid deployment

BB is launching two new variants of its GoFaTM collaborative robot. The GoFa 10 and GoFa 12 offer new possibilities for companies to leverage cobot automation for enhanced efficiency. Handling payloads of up to 10 and 12 kilograms with market-leading repeatability, the cobots can handle an expanded range of tasks in close collaboration with workers, addressing skills and labor shortages while improving safety and productivity. Offering straightforward programming and rapid integration into production environments, the new variants lower barriers to entry for first-time users, educators and SMEs. “Since we launched our YuMi cobot in 2015, we have built an industry-leading cobot portfolio meeting growing demand for safe and easy-to-use automation solutions to plug gaps in skilled labor,” said Marc Segura President, ABB Robotics. “Addressing the need for collaborative robots with higher payloads and longer reach, our GoFa 10 and 12 cobots extend the benefits of automation to new industrial applications, even for first time users.” In addition to their enhanced payloads, the GoFa 10 and 12 cobots offer class-beating tool center point (TCP) speeds of up to two meters per second with 0.02-mm of deviation for greater repeatability – a two-fold improvement over comparable solutions. IP67-certified against moisture and dust ingress, they extend the benefits of fast and accurate collaborative robotics to new industrial applications, automating demanding tasks such as machine tending, welding, parts handling, polishing, and assembly. The GoFa 10’s 1.62-meter reach – 14 percent more than others in its class and enough to cover US pallets – makes it ideal for palletizing applications. Lowering barriers to automation for first-time users and SMEs The GoFa 10 and 12 cobots are straightforward to program, deploy, and use, lowering barriers to automation for first-time users and SMEs. Setup is made easy with lead-through programming and ABB’s Wizard easy programming software, allowing even non-specialists to quickly automate their applications by manipulating simple graphical command blocks rather than writing complex programming code. Pre-installed on the cobots’ ABB’s FlexPendant robot controller, the ABB SafeMove app features safe speed
limits, standstill monitoring, and orientation supervision, enabling close collaboration between robots and factory workers without requiring bulky protective barriers or fencing.

New Incremental Encoder Supports Larger Shaft Sizes,
Addresses Lead Time Constraints
C
UI Devices’ Motion and Control Group today announced the introduction of a new series to its AMT incremental encoder family. Based on the existing AMT13 series package, the new AMT13A series is not subject to silicon related lead time constraints and can serve as a drop-in replacement for AMT13 encoder models. AMT13A encoders offer 16 quadrature resolutions from 96 to 4096 PPR, selectable via an on-board DIP switch, while supporting larger motor shaft sizes from 9 mm to 15.875 mm (5/8 inch). Thanks to CUI Devices’ proprietary capacitive ASIC technology, the AMT13A series delivers high levels of durability, accuracy, and immunity to environmental factors. It features compact radial and axial package types with a locking hub for ease of installation and low power consumption of 8 mA at 5 V. The AMT13A series also carries an operating temperature range from -40 to 125°C and offers differential line driver versions.
