Apex Motion Control automates primary and secondary packaging

Company: Apex Motion Control

Equipment Snapshot: Apex Motion Control, specialists in robotics and automation for the baking and food industry, has released a new solution for primary and secondary packaging.

In addition to decorating cakes and loading trays, the Baker-Bot cobot supports primary packaging functionality, and can be integrated into most production lines without the need for safety guarding—helping food manufacturers experience the benefits of automation for moving raw or unpackaged items from a conveyor to a container. The Baker-Bot can support secondary packaging as well, meaning that this collaborative robot can place packaged products into other containers and packages such as pre-formed boxes.

Benefits and features:

Helps eliminate cross contamination
Versatile gripper configurations for different product categories
Integrates easily with other OEM equipment
Reduce repetitive strain & repurpose staff
Increase throughput and reduce downtime
