Case study: Stäubli robots are making sandwiches: better, safer, and faster
A hygienic, high-speed robotic sandwich assembly line shows how producers can meet growing food industry demand
With demand on the rise, and hygiene a critical priority, Stäubli Robotics is expanding the possibilities for automation in food and other industries with high production requirements, strict hygiene requirements, and demanding humid environments.
More than 7,000 sandwiches an hour is the kind of throughput achieved by Grote Company, a Stäubli customer that manufactures food slicing and assembling equipment, using the robotic sandwich assembly line it developed in-house. The system’s main ingredient is a Stäubli TX2-60 HE (Humid Environment) six-axis robot.
