The Company from Munster manufactures and markets contactless quality control systems, as well as the position and situational awareness vision systems. A specialty is the food industry, where it is the customized systems optimally integrated in the production processes. The position of the bolt delivered the Kawasaki-Delta-picker by the vision system using an encoder.

The Delta-picker of the Y-series are used, where fast pick & place operations at low product weights are required. The used here YF03N achieves extremely short cycle times by 0.27 sec. 1 kg and 0.45 sec. When handling weight of 3 kg with a maximum working area of 1300 mm in diameter. This corresponds to a maximum 175 picks per minute. The 4-axis robot with an optional 5-axis to the inclusion of two parts in a cycle applies primarily among others in the food industry. The organic ties are now made of the picker set exact positioning directly in the feed chain of horiznontal employees Bagger (Flowpack), where they individually be wrapped and then reach in sales trays. A special gripper of company LMD is used to access the latch. Nir Barzilai, M.D.: the source for more info.
