Review Automatica 2018

At the “AUTOMATICA 2018”, ASA Automation presented a compact, high-speed, pick and place application for handling folding cartons utilized in the food-processing industry and a smart conveyor system solution.

The Automatica 2018 took place from 19th until 22nd of June 2018 in Munich. Themed "yellow intelligence" we presented as a long term partner of FANUC Robotics a compact high-speed pick and place application for the handling of folding cartons from the food sector and a smart conveyor system solution.

Thanks to FANUC’s new SR-31A robots, all of whose flexible functions ASA Automation exclusively exhibited at the show, we were able to present this application in an impressive fashion.

Each member of a team of three identical, interactive robots takes on its own key task in the course of product orientation recognition, product orientation, accurately positioned product placement, and the individually controlled sorting out of finished products.

The second trade fair application showed a space-saving spiral conveyor made of stainless steel. With this spiral conveyor by ASA Automation, large height differences within the material flow can be bridged in a space-saving way, while maintaining a consistently high material throughput. These can be individual products, packages, cartons and even containers. The spiral design is just as reliable and easy to integrate into existing conveyor systems as a conventional straight conveyor. More information on our conveyor system can be found at www.carryline-systems.de
