Bosch Packaging Technology will present its redesigned Delta robotic packaging portfolio at FachPack 2015 in Nuremberg, Germany from September 29 to October 1, 2015.
Based on an open frame platform featuring the latest GD series Delta robot, the new portfolio offers modular and standardized robotic solutions with application-specific options.
The enhanced D3 robotic platform handles higher payloads up to three kilograms and ensures faster speeds to increase pick rates.
It offers manufacturers quick changeovers, simplified use and maintenance.
“The new modular and scalable design allows for multiple robot solutions by combining standard machine modules,” said Marc de Vries, sales director.
Enhanced versatility
The D3 platform includes several features that improve packaging efficiency and enable manufacturers to meet the growing demand for diverse products, such as biscuits, cereal bars, chocolate, confectionery treats, baked goods and vertically packaged products.
“Many customers look for robotic packaging equipment that can handle a great variety of products on the same machine,” said de Vries.
“By increasing performance, payload capability and working volume height as well as offering optional fourth and fifth axes for improved product rotation, we have significantly extended the application range.”
With the Gemini 4.0 Delta robot controller and software, new product formats can be simulated offline without the need for physical products, reducing set-up and installation times.
The simplified platform design also promotes faster changeovers and ease of use.
Easier cleaning
The D3 platform has a hygienic and open frame design with fewer parts and better visibility of moving elements for manufacturers to comply with food safety regulations.
The control cabinets are positioned on top of the machines, enabling operator access from both the front and rear, which reduces cleaning and maintenance times.
Being a part of Bosch’s Module++ single-source provider concept for simple and modular line automation, D3 robotic solutions can integrate with both Bosch and third-party primary or secondary packaging machines.
