Packaging waffles with FANUC M-2iA delta robots

Описание: Biscuiterie Thijs in Herentals produces waffles for household brand supermarkets like Aldi, Lidl, Carrefour, Albert Heijn, and Jumbo. In 2013, the waffle maker decided to automate the packaging line of one of its production lines. The Dutch company Greymans Paktech has equipped the zone between the supply line and the actual packaging machine with a row of six delta robots of the make FANUC M-2iA. Johan Greymans, owner of Greymans Paktech: "When the FANUC M-2iA was launched on the market, I immediately proposed to replace the old packaging line and allow the robots to assume the pick & place process. The M-2iA is ideal for picking up the waffles and positioning them on the packaging line." "M-2iA robots operate with an R-30iB control unit and integrate functions such as iRVision, visual line tracking, load balancing, collision guard, and an Ethernet encoder. The waffles are placed at random on the conveyor belt. Using these features, the robots pick up the waffles from the conveyor belt and place them on the packaging line. Each of the six robots therefore receives an equal load of the supply capacity. A major advantage of FANUC is that you can individually adjust each movement of the robot to create fluid motion.
