- Pick-and-Place-Robot competence live presentation
- Integrated vision control system for high production quality
- Compact design for easy and fast cleaning

Bosch -Sigpack Systems, a Bosch Packaging Technology company, presents fully automated packaging and handling technology at FachPack 2007. Visitors have the opportunity to view a live demonstration of a Delta Robot unit at booth number 524, in hall 9. The Delta Robot gently and safely picks and places products at high speeds using minimal space.

An integrated vision control system ensures maximum product quality. It recognizes various shapes and randomly ordered products or trays, and then sorts out faulty products. „The patented gripper technology ensures gentle and hygienic handling for delicate products in particular," says Roland Czuday, product manager of Delta Robot Systems.

The wide range of applications of these pick-and-place robots includes handling chocolate and confectionery products, cookies and bakery goods, as well as chilled and frozen food. Delta Robots place large product quantities in trays. They are ideal for filling of assorted packages or feeding of products to flow wrappers and thermo machines. As a result of their flexibility, the systems can also be used in the pharmaceutical and non-food industries.

Its modular and compact design allows for easy and fast cleaning of all components that come in touch with the product, including belts and grippers. In addition, it ensures quick format and program changes. Delta Robot technology is easy to integrate in existing production and packaging lines. Optional modules such as tray de-stacking, carton erecting and sealing machines can be added to these systems to broaden their use.
