Soft Robotic grippers coming to International Baking Industry Exposition 2016
Innovative robotics company to exhibit their latest gripping technology in Booth 9901 - Looks to enable the snack & baking industries with packaging automation
With new developments by Soft Robotics, a single end-of-arm tool (EOAT) on a robotic packaging system can now handle an unprecedented range of objects without the need for tool changes or software modifications between cycles. Soft Robotics has demonstrated the ability to grasp difficult-to-handle products with variable characteristics with a single device utilizing their proprietary technology. This disruptive capability addresses unmet needs in existing markets and unlocks new markets for cost-effective automated solutions.
“We continually look for opportunities in markets where our technology can help improve line production and overall efficiencies,” says Carl Vause, Soft Robotics’ CEO. “The baking industry is certainly one of those areas where delicate products cause issues for typical packaging machines, no matter if they are mechanical or robotic. Our technology allows robotic automation to address existing packaging needs, open new markets to robotics, is cost-effective, and can even increase worker safety.”
