Robot stacks sandwiches in 800 milliseconds - food for thought
Although simple automation can give some manufacturers the boost needed to increase production and product consistency, more complex applications often require intelligent, flexible robotic systems that can adapt to variable products and picking locations. In the case of a large-scale sandwich producer, growing production demands coupled with a major labour shortage provided motivation for them to robotically automate a high-speed sandwich stacking application. To resolve the challenge, TechBrew Robotics, a Kawasaki Robotics Preferred Integrator based in British Columbia, Canada, designed a custom solution using Kawasaki's R series robots and F60 controller.
