[Case Study: Food] Collaboration between Humans and Robots in the Arrangement of Prepared Food Packs
The potential for labor-saving and efficiency improvements through the collaboration between robots and humans. Collaborative work between robots and humans in food factories.
We would like to introduce a case study of the "Stäubli Robot TX2 Series." The production equipment manager at Bischofszell Nahrungsmittel AG had strong confidence and expectations regarding the concept of human-robot collaboration, but when it came to implementing the idea, it turned out to be more challenging than anticipated. At that time, they encountered our product at a trade show. The "TX2-90L" arm was selected, and a hand designed to grasp both spacers and trays was developed. They were particularly satisfied with the fact that the trial system was able to meet stringent safety standards. [Case Study] ■ Before Implementation - High risk to worker health and injuries ■ After Implementation - Able to meet strict safety standards - Established a collaborative system without barriers through a combination of safety functions such as safe speed, safe stop, safe zone, and sensors - Expanded the possibility of introducing human-robot collaborative equipment in other processes within the factory *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

basic information
【Features】 ■ The main components of the application are four: robot, tray magazine, spacer supply belt, and cart. ■ While the operator arranges products on the tray and places spacers, the robot sets spacers on the next tray. ■ The Stäubli 6-axis robot recognizes the presence of people around it and moves at a safe speed. ■ It grips the prepared tray and stops in a waiting position until the operator finishes arranging. ■ When the operator completes the task and presses the confirmation button, and leaves the area, the robot loads the next tray onto the cart. ■ While the operator is away, the robot moves at high speed, and if there are people in the area, it moves at a safe speed. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
