Bosch Packaging Technology has redesigned its Delta portfolio of robotic packaging technology in order to enhance the versatility and performance that it offers to food producers.
Based on an open frame platform featuring the latest GD series Delta robot, the new portfolio offers modular and standardised robotic solutions with application-specific options. Bosch’s enhanced D3 robotic platform handles higher payloads up to 3kg and ensures faster speeds to increase pick rates. Designed for quick changeovers, simplified use and maintenance, it allows manufacturers to achieve a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and a shorter return on investment, the Baden-Württemburg, Germany-based company claimed.
The new platform has applications across the biscuit, cereal bar, chocolate, confectionery, baked goods and vertically packaged product categories, helping to improve overall packaging efficiency and enable manufacturers to meet the growing demand for increasingly diverse products.
Bosch Packaging Technology sales director Marc de Vries said: “Many customers look for robotic packaging equipment that can handle a great variety of products on the same machine. 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 launch of the D3 robotic platform we offer a highly versatile portfolio of primary and secondary packaging solutions. The new modular and scalable design enables multiple robot solutions by combining standard machine modules. Through increased modularity Bosch demonstrates its commitment to engineering customer-focused technologies that enhance productivity, reduce TCO and enable a faster time to market. Combined with added flexibility, the platform helps our customers leverage robotic automation to generate competitive advantage.”
