(openPR) Coatbridge, 19/07/2016 - 3D printing technology for grippers reduces production time; PWR Pack’s innovative Vision Control System guarantees utmost precision.
PWR Pack specialises in robotic solutions for the food industry. The company develops individually tailored concepts that provide the highest levels of flexibility and performance in the packaging of a diverse range of products using innovative, modular-built technology solutions. With a whole range of new innovations, the company confirms its position as one of the leading players in the packaging automation industry. At this year’s Total PPMA show held at NEC, Birmingham in September, the PWR Pack team will be on hand to discuss automation needs and showcase new developments:
PWR Pack 3D printing gripper technology
PWR Pack’s high-grade, robust automation solutions are not only built to high quality standards but also for ease of hygiene management: all systems are constructed from stainless steel as a standard and all the grippers produced to handle naked products are totally washable.
The customer-specific gripper system is now produced using ultra-modern 3D printing technology on the basis of CAD drawings. This allows for highest flexibility as the production time of the gripper is reduced immensely also enabling extended testing phases. The lightweight construction of the gripper ensures the highest possible running speeds.
In addition to this the further development of PWR Pack’s Pick & Place, Top Loading and Cutting Systems is focused towards current trends in the food industry. The company offers reliable and innovative packaging solutions for small portions and mixed packs – for example, for the snack and confectionery industries, as well as innovative robotics applications that cater to the growing market for packaged food products.
High-tech quality control by PWR Pack´s innovative 3D-Vision System
PWR Packs innovative Vision Control system monitors all running processes ensuring perfect results with its high-tech quality control. It detects position, contour and thickness of the passing products with utmost precision and detail using intelligent analysis-software that guarantee high quality control by monitoring deviations in real-time. Defective products are reliably marked by the innovative colour camera technology with colour differentiation and successfully rejected.
The implemented software, grippers and robotic cells are developed and manufactured by PWR Pack. Peter Mellon, Director of PWR Pack, emphasizes: “This allows us to offer perfectly matched systems to our customers. We focus on delivering high speed lines coupled with the highest possible line efficiencies in order to maximise your return on investment. The price to value ratio is very high ensuring a quick pay back of your investment.“
