Pick and place partnership

1st June 2011 – FANUC, a leading robotics manufacturer, have recently extended Pacepacker’s strategic partnership to include them as a system integrator of pick and place systems for primary and secondary products including confectionery.

This move enhances Pacepacker’s current pick and place equipment offering, which includes a range of DeltaPac pick and place machines and mechanical bespoke pick and place systems, as it enables them to provide a complete range of solutions, both mechanical and robotic, pre-owned or new, for any type of confectionery application.

Pacepacker’s business development manager, Paul Wilkinson, comments, “Design simplicity is how we approach all projects and is key to a successful installation. Operating as FANUC’s strategic partner for pick and place systems, we can select from over 30+ robots to suit all budgets and individual project needs dependent on the speed, payload and reach requirements for both primary and secondary product packing. With our ‘try before you buy’ facility where customers can run tests of their products to de-risk the procurement and equipment selection process, there’s never been a better time to look at automation projects.”

The compact FANUC pick and place systems, which are capable of handling in excess of 180 products per minute, not only increase throughput, but are designed to eliminate waste, reduce overheads and improve quality. “The systems come with a range of options suited to confectionery packaging projects including wash down and stainless steel versions, vision and sensing technology, and an array of attachments to pick up all manner of products,” states Wilkinson.
