Joining pieces to make sense for all of us

Ibelieve that our trade association has a pivotal role to play in advancing industrial automation in this country for the good of all manufacturers. It’s a bold statement, I know, but it is based on the incontrovertible fact that as a group of 550+ expert companies in the field, we can act as the enabler to make this happen.

Industrial automation is an incredible jigsaw, in which I am proud to say that our members hold the corners and edges. We can therefore play the key role of facilitator to piece this jigsaw together for the good of UK PLC. After all, what’s the use of a jigsaw, if you don’t put it together?

Increased automation is the only way forward for UK manufacturing being able to compete on the global stage. And, I would argue, the wealth of technical skills offered by our members can surely make this happen for our end user customers. I do admit, however, that the current political paralysis, which I would say is worse than a political crisis, is not helping any of us to move forward at the moment. Hopefully, whenever we get a government with a workable mandate, this stalemate may be broken.

The road to automating our manufacturing sector is not a straight line – but we can be the pathfinders

Our inaugural Automation UK trade show in June (which was co-located with UKIVA’s Machine Vision Conference), was just one step we, as an association, have made to help make adopting automation, robotics and vision systems easier for everyone. Visitors to the 2-day exhibition in Coventry found the very latest technologies which you can find out more about in this issue (see pages 8-10). You will also find our annual feature on this topic which starts on page 30.

At the event, our CEO Peter Williamson outlined the PPMA’s new manifesto, a document that we think is another important piece of the jigsaw. There are many aims and goals in this document, but investing heavily in education and training is certainly one key part and setting up a new technical department is another. We recognise that one of the problems about the path to industrial automation is that it is not a straight line. It is more like a very complicated maze, which can often be the stumbling block, so we believe this strategy can help people to take the first step more easily.

Everyone knows that increasing automation in our factories is a good idea. We just need to put it at the very top of our to-do list! n

New exhibition combo answered visitor needs for smarter technology

The inaugural Automation UK hosted by BARA (British Automation & Robot Association) at the CBS Arena in Coventry this June was hailed as a great success by visitors and exhibitors alike.

Co-located with the UKIVA’s Machine Vision Conference, the two-day event, proved to be a useful one-stop-shop for automation and robotics, combined with industrial machine vision, that provided end user visitors with a complete range of smarter solutions. As exhibitor B&R Automation’s Stephen

Ratcliffe told Machinery Update, the exhibition was perfectly formed and there was no ‘filler’. This meant visitors could access the latest technology in one place, and from all the key players that were present.

“We are now planning to capitalise on the momentum that has been generated, with double the floor space reserved for 2024,” said Scott McKenna, deputy COO at the PPMA Group of Associations.

The next Automation UK will take place in Coventry from 18-19 June 2024.

PPMA Show returns this September

The PPMA Show returns to the NEC Birmingham this September with over 350 exhibitors showcasing more than 2,650 brands from the full spectrum of packaging and processing technologies.

Acquisition enhances customer offer from Dura-ID and Atwell

Dura-ID Solutions has acquired Atwell Labellers, supplier of self-adhesive labellers.

The PPMA Show is the UK’s largest processing and packaging machinery exhibition, established over 36 years ago and every September, leading companies gather to launch processing and packaging machinery, robotics and industrial vision systems. Organised by the PPMA Group of Associations, the exhibition takes place in Hall 5 of the NEC between September 26 to 28, and will demonstrate equipment designed for food, beverage, pharmaceuticals, household products and toiletries, building materials and supplies, pet care, micro-brewery and distilleries, contract packers and more.

CONFERENCE SAW NEW PRODUCTS AND SEMINARS Vision range brings benefits

Beckhoff Automation took its participation at the Machine Vision Conference as the perfect opportunity to demonstrate, and talk about, its new complete vision system comprising hardware and software which can be synchronised with all control processes. It is billed as offering seamless system integration via cameras, optics, illumination, complete units, software, training and support.

Dura-ID Solutions (part of the investment group Goonvean Holdings) views the move as an excellent way to enhance its customer offering, diversify its customer base and boost existing distribution channels.

Following the transaction, the existing management team and employees will continue to run Atwell Labellers as a wholly owned subsidiary of Dura-ID Solutions, while Shaun Higgins, the managing director of Dura-ID Solutions, will lead the new combined businesses.

“Between the 350+ companies exhibiting there are thousands of years of experience in packaging, processing and automation machinery,” says Richard Little, the PPMA Show director. “Visitors are encouraged to bring their problems and requirements to the show where there will be people who know what to do and there will be plenty of machines to look at actually doing it.”

Several exhibitors said that attendees were visiting with real projects in mind

The event is set for more success

First Automation UK event helps visitors to become more efficient

Machinery Update reports on the new technology options demonstrated at the first Automation UK exhibition as well as a range of presentations

Arange of equipment was presented to visitors to the CBS Arena in Coventry for Automation UK, including integrated automation capabilities from ABB and B&R.

ABB demonstrated its GoFa collaborative robot and B&R’s ACOPOS 6D new handling system. Offering a 5 kg payload and a 950 mm reach, GoFa is designed as a collaborative partner for a wide range of applications. The demonstration showed GoFa working in collaboration with B&R’s ACOPOS 6D system, which uses magnetically levitating shuttles to carry products and materials to processing stations, eliminating mechanical wear, and speeding up transit times.

At the show, Apex Dynamics launched the BKM high efficiency hypoid gearbox range, which marks a major expansion of the company’s UK product offering. The BKM line has been designed to complement the company’s existing range of planetary gearboxes. The high efficiency hypoid gear units comprise MV direct motor mount, IEC motor mount, and ST servo motor mount variants. A new generation of hypoid gearboxes,

the BKM range is suited to general purpose machine applications, delivering improved efficiency and performance to help meet reduced energy consumption demands from customers.

As part of its campaign to inspire the next generation of robotics engineers, Fanuc UK showcased a suite of educationthemed initiatives. Recognising its responsibility to help inspire a future talent pipeline, the company is placing education at the front and centre of its activities throughout 2023. The event served as the perfect springboard to highlight the benefits of a career in robotics, as well as demonstrating to visitors the myriad applications of its robot and cobot solutions.

Heidenhain showcased powerful solutions that are said to set new standards in automation drive systems, including products from its brands AMO, RENCO and RSF. Visitors discovered new inductive rotary encoder variants for robotics applications along with the next generation of inductive scanning.

The KCI 120 Dplus dual encoder with motor position and joint position measurement in a single device is available in three sizes, while the latest

He talked about the reduction in orders for both robotics and vision this year and although he predicted a bumpy road ahead in the short term, he was confident that by the 4th quarter, things would be getting back on track.

“While inflation and a slowing US economy may have taken a slight toll on robot orders overall, automotive companies continue to accelerate their purchases as they make the transition to manufacturing electric vehicles,” he said. “Non-automotive companies are

typically newer to automation and may be waiting to invest until they’ve tested recent deployments or see the economy begin to recover.”

In any case, automation makes companies more productive and globally competitive, and the shortages of skilled labour we are seeing right now is proving a barrier to the US reshoring jobs, he said. “Remember, automation is not a job killer; it is the facilitator for creating new and more rewarding careers.

“Remember, that people are the most important part of any automation solution,” he attests. Instead of worrying about losing jobs through automation, we need to talk about how it transforms our world for the better, and in so many ways,” he told MachineryUpdate.

KCI 120 and KBI 136 are compact rotary encoders for large 30 mm or 40 mm hollow shaft diameters.

For Matara, the key product focus on its stand was linear actuators which, along with the motor, are the driving force of a linear motion system. The company offers a substantial range of belt driven and ballscrew linear actuators, including the best-selling MTB and MTS series belt driven actuators, which were on display, including a working version using a Gapp Automation control unit; Gapp Automation has recently joined Matara’s parent company, Rubix.

Mills CNC unveiled the power, flexibility and productivity potential of its range of Doosan cobots at the event. The two cobots, a powerful, heavy-duty H2017 model with a 1700 mm reach radius and a 20 kg maximum payload capacity, and an ultra-versatile M1509 model with a 900 mm reach radius and a 15 kg maximum payload capacity, shared centre stage on Mills’ stand. These cobots took on a series of repetitive and routine pick and place and assembly operations designed to demonstrate their flexibility, dexterity, productivity potential and ease-of-use and deployment.

He felt that one of the key’s was education, where to find a trusted resource and then how to apply the technology successfully.

Jeff Burnstein spoke at Automation UK & MVC

President of the Association for Advancing Automation (A3) in North America Jeff Burnstein was the keynote speaker at Automation UK and the co-located Machine Vision Conference.

Representatives from RMGroup were on-hand to discuss the company’s automation offering, including pick, place and palletising solutions, collaborative industrial robot systems with AMR, and its latest compact palletiser. Being the first integrator in the UK to be accredited

under the A3/BARA Robot Integrators Certification Scheme, RMGroup supplies and manufactures a wide range of automated packaging systems as well as supplying bagging solutions, weighing systems, and high-speed form, fill and seal packaging lines to customers.

Schubert UK included its new cobot, which is now ready for series production, a bar packer with a special infeed, its new Box Motion unit in the flowpacker’s cross-sealing system and its ‘Packaging Perspectives’ customer service for sustainable packaging.

The PPMA Group’s automation goals

On the first day of Automation UK, the chief executive officer of the PPMA Group of Associations Peter Williamson presented his thoughts on how the trade body believes UK PLC must adopt automation to continue to compete in the global market, and also how it could help with this process.

He presented the new PPMA Manifesto for Automation, a document that will be rolled out over the coming months, but essentially it commits the member-led organisation to help overcome the series of challenges facing everyone to ensure that automation is central to the future of UK manufacturing.

It covers the workforce challenge, the UK’s reticence to invest in automation, what the Government can do to support industry and the PPMA goals and commitments.

Mark Stepney, md of Schubert UK, is organiser BARA’s vice chairman and sees this exhibition as an ideal opportunity for companies to get up close and personal with today’s cutting-edge technologies: “With many exciting live demonstrations, compelling information and in-depth consulting, the exhibitors were all committed to giving visitors first-hand insight and impressions of the latest automation and robotics technologies,” he tells Machinery Update

Troax says its Panel Detection revolutionises machine guarding with enhanced safety measures. Visitors could discuss this patent-pending electronic device that detects securely mounted panels, ushering in a new era of active safety. By integrating technology into machine guarding, it enhances the safety and intelligence of existing guards, making them even safer and smarter.

The automatic monitoring system increases safety around production cells while minimising costs associated with accidents. It also transforms traditional mechanical safety into an electronic solution designed for Industry 4.0. This technology takes machine guarding to a whole new level, enabling the detection of unseen dangers and costs, says the company, so that customers can now take greater responsibility for personnel safety.

New slicer combines reliability with high speeds across foods

The SLX 2000 is the first of a new generation of Multivac slicers which has been designed to set a new benchmark on many levels that include speeds, reliability, sustainability, ease of use and customer cost-effectiveness.

Introduced at interpack, this high-output SLX 2000 slicer, which can be designed for up to four tracks, achieves a high slicing speed whatever the product. Sausage, ham, cheese and vegan products with a maximum length of up to 1,600 mm can be gently and effectively sliced, even at warmer temperatures. These product slices are then deposited on the portioning system in the predefined arrangement pattern.

Customers of this new machine can also use the sustainable liquid interleaver from Multivac to deliver plastic-free slicing, instead of the conventional interleaving film, which further reduces the consumption of plastics during packing.

Multivac says this slicer achieves a high slicing speed whatever the product company, downtime during recipe or format changes is reduced to the minimum necessary. The IPC control with its HMI 3 terminal also simplifies the operation and reduces potential operating errors, as well as ensuring that reliable and reproducible processes are achieved.

This new SLX 2000 can be used as a stand-alone unit or as a module within a fully automatic slicing and packaging line. The seamless integration of the slicer into the Multivac line control (MLC) ensures that the machine and line are operated efficiently, and this includes start-up, stopping, no-load operation and recipe change throughout the line.

Meanwhile, says the

In operation, the product logs are automatically transported into the slicer, where they are secured by the

product grippers, before being fed into the cutting chamber. A flexible slicing process enables a wide range of portion sizes and shapes to be produced, which are fed over a checkweigher, where any incorrect weights are ejected via the downstream rocker.

Running over a horizontally designed automatic belt loader, the correct portions are buffered and arranged according to the format of the packaging machine, before being loaded into the pack cavities in synchronisation with the advance of the RX 4.0.

The packs are subsequently sealed under modified atmosphere (MAP), before being cut into individual packs and discharged from the packaging machine. The DP 230 direct web printer, which is located at the upper web infeed and equipped with a high-performance TTO 30 thermal transfer printer, is used to print variable data onto the packs.

Blister track & trace technology was shown to interpack visitors

At interpack, SEA Vision introduced its blister track & trace technology for the inline serialisation of primary packaging and aggregation up to pallet level. This solution was installed on the complete blister packaging line at the Marchesini Group’s stand, including the full line from blister to case packer/ palletiser. The clever bit lies in the direct on-line printing via an on-board printer installed on the Integra 720, a solution that complements the existing off-line printing option.

The system manages in-line printing directly on the blister, together with the inspection of codes, and then automatically aggregates with the codes printed on their carton, cases and pallet labels.

Combatting product counterfeiting

SEA Vision and Marchesini Group invested in this challenging project to further enhance product identification, which is a prerequisite in the healthcare industry. The aim of the solution is to combat the risk of counterfeiting when it comes to the primary packaging of drugs and to maximise investments made by pharma companies to ensure that secondary packaging is traceable for 100% safety during product distribution.

Processing and packaging equipment range expands

At interpack, the Rotzinger Group presented its expanded packaging and processing portfolio that included a new compact design blister machine, the Paloma feed placer, the FLK/VRM filling & capping machine and a bar production line.

The new and improved version of its TLT blister machine can process up to 400 blisters per minute. It has undergone a redesign to deliver flexibility, safety and short changeover times, while maintaining high overall equipment effectiveness. For the primary packaging of pharmaceutical products such as tablets, capsules, and dragees, the TLT is a flexible machine that can be connected to several cartoners. Customers benefit from the modular design for simple and easy retrofitting, says the company.

Meanwhile, the Paloma feed placer that picks and places products into cartons, cases, thermoforms, flow wrappers and cartoning machines, was

First hybrid printer streamlines ink inventory and costs are cut

Markem-Imaje has launched the 9750+ continuous inkjet (CIJ) printer to help customers cut costs and reduce inventory needs for pigment and dye inks. The market first hybrid coder provides the flexibility to print standard dark codes or colour contrasted codes by using dyes or pigmented inks while delivering premium legibility and permanence.

The new polyvalent ink circuit, billed as the first of its kind for coding, enables manufacturers to use one printer across factories, regardless of ink and/or the packaging used.

“The 9750+ has been designed in direct response to our customers’ needs,” explains Guillaume Montagnat, product marketing manager at Markem. “For the first time, it allows manufacturers to use one model to code in both dye or pigmented ink.”

Traditionally, producing both code types required two types of machines and many different spare parts. By introducing the 9750+ Markem enables manufacturers to achieve both with one printer model.

Latest conveyor platform for efficient parcel sorting

Interroll has launched its high-performance conveyor platform (HPP) to cater to the special belt conveyor requirements of the courierexpress-parcel (CEP) market.

The HPP includes an intelligent diverter module which means it can be used for preliminary sorting in conjunction with powerful sorting systems, or as an autonomous mini-sorter. Its clever design allows for the rapid yet gentle sortation of goods including cardboard boxes, small packages, padded envelopes, manila envelopes and polybags.

A robust steel profile with a wall thickness of three millimetres means that the HPP can handle loads of up to 50 kg per metre and operate at speeds of up to 2.5 metres per second. Depending on the dimensions of the goods being transported, it can handle a throughput of up to 10,000 units per hour.

The HPP is designed to be a versatile system that comprises a wide range of

A new feature allows for efficient metal detection

Thanks to its flexible modulation feature MiWave, the Mitus inspection solution from Minebea Intec reliably detects contaminated products of a wide range of sizes, shapes and compositions, to prevent needless incorrect rejections. First introduced at interpack, the metal detector ensures maximum product safety and efficiency on a production line.

The company says this highprecision inspection solution can detect foreign objects in almost all applications in the food and drinks industry. The new modulation feature MiWave, means the system ignores high product effects caused by product shape, size and composition, and minimises incorrect separations in the process. This enables Mitus to reliably detect foreign objects. Another feature of the metal detector is the variety of models available, which ensures it can be easily integrated into existing systems.

In the food industry, reliable

metal detection devices make a difference in how effectively they offset product effects or how the product itself affects the electromagnetic field. Mitus handles this challenge as MiWave artificially modulates transmitter waves and intelligently resolves and analyses the receiver spectrum. This enables the metal detector to automatically minimise the problem of incorrect rejects and therefore provide maximum detection sensitivity for foreign objects made from ferrous and non-ferrous metals, stainless steel and light metals like aluminium.

Mitus is also easy to integrate into existing systems: the inspection unit is available in most standard sizes and

has a rectangular, round or compact detection coil, which means it can be integrated into a system even if there is limited space available. It can also be easily combined with other inspection solutions, such as weighing technology, and integrated into existing production lines.

Cleaning and maintenance are also easier thanks to the device’s design, which complies with Hygienic Design guidelines.

Latest rules to keep control systems safe

ISO 13849 is a safety standard which applies to parts of machinery control systems that are assigned to providing safety functions. It provides safety requirements and guidance on the principles of design, and the integration of safety-related parts of control systems (hardware or software).

A new version now replaces ISO 13849-1:2015. Once listed in the Official Journal (OJEU) as a harmonised standard, there may be a transition period of up to three years before the superseded version is withdrawn from the OJ, ending its presumption of conformity. However, once it is listed, this new standard will have a presumption of conformity, meaning that following it will ensure your products are in line with corresponding EU rules. Once the new version is listed in the OJEU, it will also become listed as a designated standard in the UK.

ISO 13849-1 provides safety requirements and guidance on the principles for the design and integration of safetyrelated parts of control systems (SRP/CS). This includes the design of software and the standard includes specific requirements for SRP/CS using programmable electronic systems. It also specifies characteristics that include the performance level required for carrying out safety functions. The standard applies to SRP/CS for high demand and continuous mode, regardless of the type of technology and energy used (electrical,

hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical, etc), for every type of machinery.

The whole document has been reorganised to better reflect the design and development process for control systems. It now also includes a focus on risk assessment recommendations. For example, Figure 2 of Clause 4 is an enhanced version of Figure 1 in the current version – breaking out the ‘three-step process’ of risk reduction. However, the overall process

found as application code in programmable logic controllers (PLC) systems, using graphical representation such as ladder diagram or function block diagram. Full Variability Language (FVL) is typically found in computers, for example C++, C#. In ISO 13849 it is mainly used for embedded software, referred to as SRESW. Both LVL and FVL can be used for safety-related application software (SRASW) in accordance with ISO 13849.

interference (EMI) immunity. Example sources of EMI are both natural, such as static & lightning, and man-made intentional transmission and unintentional interference, such as electronics, electric power, communications, machines, and ignition systems. This new part of the standard has been severely criticised by some EMC experts. It provides a scoring methodology (table L.1) that can be used where equipment that integrates electronics can be assessed by considering various measures to achieve immunity.

and the relationship with ISO 12100 is unchanged. The new Figure 3 is also an enhanced version of the current Figure 2, which describes the contribution to risk reduction. Alongside this, Clause 4.6 (subsystems) is new, while significant parts of Clause 4 have been moved to their own clauses for specification, design, and verification.

There is also a new Clause 7 on software safety requirements. At first glance, this is almost a repeat of Clause 4.6 in the previous version. However, changes and additions include explaining the differences between ‘limited variability’ and ‘full variability’ and guidance in deciding between them. Limited Variability Language (LVL) is typically

Greater rigour is required for LVL due to the complexity.

Clause G.5 of Annex G covers the management of functional safety, requiring a functional safety plan to be drawn up and documented for each SRP/CS design project, which should be updated as any changes to the system are made.

Key features of a functional safety plan should include:

• The identification of the relevant activities in the SRP/CS design process and confirmation of the order in which they should take place,

• The identification of the roles and resources required for actioning and reviewing every activity, and

• The creation of a validation plan.

There is also a new Annex L on electromagnetic

Annex M includes additional information for safety requirements specification, while Annex N also introduces the concept of fault-avoiding measures for the design of safety related software. It is intended to help users of the standard apply the requirements of Clause 7 on software safety requirements. Meanwhile, Annex O now covers safety-related values of components or parts of the control systems. This is extracted from a data library format created by the German machinery manufacturers association (VDMA). It has been around for some years and is used in applications like SISTEMA and PAScal to help with the calculations for hardware reliability.

Reliable, low-waste coding delivers traceability wishes

Domino Printing Sciences (Domino) is helping Hello Bello to fulfil its goal of providing ‘premium for all’ baby care products with reliable, low-waste, coding and marking solutions designed for product traceability through production, processing, and also distribution.

“We are on a mission to provide premium products to all people at an accessible price point and we want to do so in a sustainable way,” says Erica Buxton, CEO of Hello Bello. “Finding partners that can help us do that is what we are truly trying to seek out.”

Domino’s coding equipment has a crucial role to play at Hello Bello, ensuring all individual nappies, multipacks, and shipment boxes are printed with the correct codes to allow for worldwide traceability with minimal production

waste or machine downtime.

At the manufacturing plant in Waco, Texas each nappy is individually coded with MEK-free ink using an Ax350i continuous inkjet printer –with a code composed of a lot number, line number, and individual product number to allow for each nappy to be assigned to the correct multipack bags and shipment boxes. Additional Ax350i printers then apply aggregated codes onto each multipack.

The Domino installation also covers secondary and tertiary coding requirements

Eco demand resulted in new working

for retail and distribution. Hello Bello installed M230i-TB print and apply labellers for applying universal product codes to multipacks and boxes – these codes are used for worldwide tracking of items shipped to retail stores. As a final step along the line, Domino’s Cx350i secondary packaging printers, equipped with dual printheads, print A-grade barcodes with vegetable-oil-based ink on both sides of the outer corrugated boxes.

Digital embellishment press installation is bringing BI format advantage to UK firm

An Ishida x-ray inspection system and checkweigher combination has played a key role in enabling one of the UK’s contract packing companies to implement a new packaging solution for a food client.

Universal Flexible Packaging is a long-term partner of Asian-inspired food brand itsu. itsu wanted to reduce the amount of packaging for its premium noodle cup range with a new cup and foil sealed lid. However, this meant quality checks using traditional metal detectors would not be possible, and for a filling and packing system where the majority of the equipment is built of stainless steel, x-ray provided the best solution for both brand and consumer protection.

While x-ray inspection technology delivered effective quality control, the challenge was to keep the lightweight cups upright. Ishida’s solution was to use its entry-level IX-EN-2463 x-ray inspection system with a lower 50kV voltage and remove its protective curtains.

WEB2PRINT PROVIDER

Printed Easy provides a wide range of printing services and has expanded and developed into a sophisticated Web2Print provider in recent years, achieving considerable

growth in a challenging marketplace. The printer will be using the Scodix Ultra 6000 by adding foil, and both raised and flat UV to a wide range of commercial products, as well as more complex and detailed embellishments for highly eye-catching and tactile print finishes. Clients will also have the latest SHD (Smart High Definition) embellishment options at their disposal, highlighting the economical range available via the

Ultra 6000 with not only the lowest cost-per-sheet, but the high quality available.

LOW COST-PER-SHEET

“The B1 format and new polymers allow low cost-persheet which competes with conventional UV on a flat finish, while SHD brings us breakthrough quality in terms of sharpness and detail,” says Jon Lancaster, managing director of Printed Easy.

Less giveaway for toffee range

Toffee manufacturer

Walkers Nonsuch has invested in a Multipond weigher and a bagmaker from Purpak to keep up with the growing global demand for its products.

The Stoke-on-Trent firm was founded in 1894 and is run today by the fifth generation of the Walker family. Sales of the English toffee have grown consistently over the years and is now exported to over 45 countries.

Last year, the company decided to invest in a new high-speed line to allow its production output to keep up with the growing global demand.

The company chose to

partner with Multipond and Purpak to look at its packing capabilities and invest in the latest options.

Multipond has an R&D facility in High Wycombe where Walkers was invited to bring its products to carry out packing trials. The results of these trials demonstrated that its confectionery products could be packed at speeds of up to 150 bags per minute. The resulting Multipond weigher installed at its factory is a 16-head machine with auto calibration which, as well as high speed production, has also achieved less product giveaway for the firm.

Paddle blade mixers are proving to be an environmentally safe solution for a treatment plant handling APCR waste

FCC Environmental has installed two 7500 litre large scale paddle mixers from JR Boone at is Knostrop Treatment Plant in Leeds to stabilise APCR (air pollution controlled residue) waste from a network of incinerators.

Chosen for their robustness and reliability, the mixers are processing 25,000 tonnes per annum, producing a stable material for safe landfill. “We identified the JR Boone mixers quite early on in the project, and chose

To cope with the harshness of the process, which sees the mixers handle acidified water to produce a ‘sludge’ that is safe for disposal to landfill, the mixers are fitted with wear-resistant arms and

blades, with the number of moving parts minimised.

Two identical mixers are in place at Knostrop and the short length to diameter ratio of these two units ensures that mixing is completed in the shortest time possible, while the ‘omega’ shape of the mixing vessel makes sure all material in the mix is fully entrained by the blades, so every part of the powder is treated.

Plant monitoring/control software delivers rice and grain plant gains

Emerson’s supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) software is helping FEI Foods to increase throughput and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) at its brand new processing and packaging facility.

To help meet plant efficiency and rising cost challenges, plant operators are increasingly looking to specify advanced digital technologies during the plant design phase. This includes the implementation of SCADA solutions that can integrate all parts of production, equipment and systems, collect and analyse key performance data and then present this to operators and management. A recent example of this can be found at FEI Foods, which has implemented Emerson’s new generation of SCADA/HMI solutions for plant monitoring and control to support increases in throughput and efficiency at its new processing and packaging facility.

FEI Foods can now collect key performance data to improve its operations

A completely new plant provided FEI Foods with the perfect opportunity to digitally transform its existing operational technology and practices with the implementation of advanced automation software to help maximise plant efficiency and productivity. A key focus was improving access to data and transfer of data to support inventory management and

for packaging production/ printing.

At the existing FEI Foods production facilities, all inventory control declarations and the sending of production information to printers for packaging and labelling was performed manually.

FEI Foods was keen to firstly, fully automate this process, secondly, to provide both operators and executives with

full visibility of the production process and OEE and thirdly, access key operational data on which continuous improvement decisions could then be based.

To provide the necessary information for operations and engineering teams, an integrated SCADA solution was needed that could interconnect all the new automation equipment over the factory data communication network. In addition, the new solution needed to interface with FEI Foods’ enterprise resource planning (ERP) and inventory control systems, as well as its printing, labelling and applicators.

PLATCON, an automation and electrical design company, was chosen as the system integrator for the project, and selected Emerson’s Movicon.NExT SCADA platform to meet the stringent requirements of this new factory.

Bespoke conveying system is helping an oats producer to increase throughput and meet strict hygiene requirements

Spiroflow and Cablevey Conveyors have collaborated to provide Scottish oats producer with a bespoke conveyor system. The solution has not only helped increased productivity but has also allowed Oat Co. to minimise hazardous dusting, maintain product integrity and meet strict hygienic requirements for food handling.

Oat Co. Scotland needed to replace its existing bucket elevator for rolled oats with a new conveyor system that

had to be fully enclosed to ensure that the oat-based products were not contaminated with external foreign particles during the conveying process. Furthermore, it had to be designed to fit into their existing setup and integrate with their current oat mill.

The bespoke solution consisted of a Cablevey tubular drag conveyor system and a Spiroflow low-loading bulk bag filler with an integrated holding hopper. The tubular

drag conveyor system gently delivers the rolled oats to the filler in a totally enclosed environment, minimising both degradation and dusting. Incorporating an inspection camera monitoring system and clear inspection ports to ensure proper maintenance, the hygienic conveyor can be quickly cleaned using the dry wiper disc system to wipe away any accumulating fine particles.

The bulk bag filler contains a special low-loading ramp

and low-profile pallet base to enable the unloading of filled bulk bags by pallet truck when a forklift is not available. The filler also minimises dust with a reverse jet filter and accurately fills by weight with its low-level weighing platform to minimise overfilling and product giveaways.

“The commissioning process was the best I have experienced,” said Oat Co.’s Ray Marquardt.

A robotic line replaces a labour-intensive process

RMGroup has installed an automated pouch line at US-based Buckman’s to automate the packing process of various-sized pouches of pool sanitisation chemicals making it the fifth robotic system the company has installed from RMGroup. Aiming to increase production and boost efficiencies without adding to staffing costs, Buckman’s new line needed to pack up to 12 pouches per minute, in weights ranging from 2 to 10 lbs, into three varying case sizes. Following the solution proposal, RMGroup provided Buckman’s with a digital twin of the pouch line to provide assurance that the system would meet these requirements.

Once approved, the final installation included a Lantech automatic case erector to convey cases into the loading position of the pick and place cells, where two ABB IRB 1600 robots pick pouches using vacuum end-of-arm tools, to place them into the cases. Once a case is full, it is sealed

with a tape sealer and labels are applied prior to being transferred to the end-of-line robot palletiser – an ABB IRB 660 palletising robot with a vacuum gripper head. The robot is complemented by RMGroup’s 2-on-the-floor palletising configuration. These two pallet loading positions allow operators to remove completed pallets safely from one cell while

ink jet technology has alleviated code pain-points for a growing wellness company marketing CBD products

Thermal

Wellness company Orange County CBD has sourced an RF Lite thermal ink jet (TIJ) machine from Rotech to automate its batch coding process, after its boost in popularity meant that manual labelling was becoming too time-consuming and costly.

The increasing popularity of Orange County’s CBD products meant that co-founder Aaron Spinks began to look for alternative ways to its manual method of applying batch codes

to its cartons. He also required something that could guarantee clear, permanent codes and eliminate mislabelling errors.

The company wants to normalise use of CBD products

Rotech says the RF Lite is perfect for quick growing companies such is Orange County, as it is capable of

running at high speeds of up to 60m/min – a key consideration for Spinks, as he needed it to keep up with increasing

production volumes.

And with the RF Lite making a positive impact to its production process, Orange County then looked to Rotech for a way to automatically overprint variable data directly onto the labels being applied to the vials of oil. The compact nature of Rotech’s Integra TIJ printer means it can work seamlessly with other equipment, including label applicators.

Feature: Automation, robotics & vision: intro

Smart technology is the new normal in manufacturing

Welcome to our automation, robotics and vision systems feature in which we are covering a range of brand-new smart technologies that are all designed to make manufacturers’ lives easier.

Whether it is developing new equipment faster through digital twins, or new software that delivers operational gains, robotics that ease labour issues or vision systems used as an enabling or inspection technology, the market continues to move on apace; with new sectors joining the party all the time, too.

For instance, Nick Cesare, md of Pace Mechanical Handling believes that UK agriculture will soon join the list of industries that are adopting smarter automation. He believes that within a decade, robots will be just as common in agriculture as they are in the automotive industry. This is because agriculture is a repetitive process that has, for many years, relied on people to plant, harvest, sort and pack produce.

“The impact of Brexit, increased employment costs and increasing pressure to adopt precision farming methods have spurred UK agriculture into finding a way to do more with less,” he says. “Drones are being used to assess the quality of crops and it won’t be long until there is a robot on every farm and in every packhouse.”

Away from packaging and processing, robots are of course, also being developed for manufacturing products themselves. For instance, recently Verder company Packo Pumps has transformed its manufacturing process by integrating robots into its production lines for various tasks including electropolishing. This move has elevated the hygienic standards significantly.

Data-based smart operations are defining a new paradigm in just about every industry and,

says Cama Group’s Filippo Aspesi, digitalisation at device, machine, plant and enterprise level is completely rewriting the rule book in terms of how companies can function and operate. “Today, the most powerful resource in an engineer’s toolbox is operational data,” he says.

CONSIDER NEW WORKFLOWS

Meanwhile Garry Lewis of Omron UK believes machine builders need to consider how to optimise workflows to take advantage of mobile robots. “This could involve reorganising production lines or redesigning machinery or incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies,” he says.

Adhan Khan from Beckhoff Automation UK believes that with more companies needing to

cope with high-mix, low-volume manufacturing, non-traditional automation has a key role to play. Flexibility, modularity, a small physical footprint and mobility solutions are required which are made possible by onboard software intelligence, more lightweight and responsive hardware and low-code/no-code applications. The company offers the XTS linear transport system to meet these goals.

Augmented reality (AR) technology proved invaluable during the pandemic, when technicians couldn’t travel to sites easily to fix machines. Today, AR is also being used by Rockwell to capture and share tribal knowledge of experienced workers for new workers and service technicians.

Right ingredients for sweet success

Global confectionery manufacturer is using technology from CKF Systems to deliver its ingredients accurately

CKF Systems has installed and commissioned its latest ingredients handling system for a brand leading global confectioner that utilises the latest technology in measured ingredients handling.

The system is built on the CKF engineering team’s experience for accurately delivering and mixing ingredients for inclusion within the confectionery sector and wider food industry, aiding its clients’ drive for new product lines and automation of operations within its UK manufacturing facility.

In operation, the accurate inclusion of additional

ingredients into parent product bars of confectionery creates specific and bespoke system challenges to overcome. From the very start of the inclusion process, the inclusion materials can be a mixture of natural and/or manufactured, refined ingredients. CKF has therefore developed the materials handling equipment and systems for the variety of transportation packaging formats that typically contain the ingredients. These include bin tipping, bulk bag hoist systems, hopper storage and also vacuum handling.

The quality of the ingredients, once input into the system, has to be guaranteed to meet the final product specification.

And while production refined ingredients are more likely to be of a regular specification and quality, more natural products that are often used for inclusion, will be sourced globally and seasonally. This can result in the irregular quality of the ingredient which is why CKF screening systems are used to remove unwanted inclusions in the form of oversize, undersize, skin, shell, broken and stalks. With the use of refiners, clump forming ingredients (formed within packaging and transportation) will be separated, providing a regular quality and precise particle size of the ingredients into the system.

CKF has developed a range

Coping with an irregular quality of transfer and conveying mediums to suit a range of ingredient specifications which all focus on spillage prevention, transfer speeds, dust extraction, air conditioning and product damage.

To ensure accuracy of the ingredient mix, CKF has delivered systems with dynamic belt weigh feeders, screw feeders and weigh mixers. Each element is integrated and controlled to optimise ingredient volumes, matching production recipes and delivering on customer specification.

Continual measurement and feedback of the flow of each ingredient is a key feature of the systems, providing clear information, data and an alarm if the correct flow of ingredients for a specific recipe is not within tolerance.

Customer specification and the recipes required determines the layout of the inclusion system and is therefore specific to each application. Flexibility provides the opportunity for any number of ingredients to be introduced to a specific recipe, in operation. These inclusion systems are also designed to manage

the stoppage, buffering and start-up of ingredients during interruptions within the main production line.

Delivery of the ingredients

mix/molten chocolate ratio to the main production line is via a bespoke servo-driven oscillating system which provides an even supply of

mix across the full width of the mix supply hopper to the main moulding plant.

More and more PPMA members are harnessing the advantages of robotics to make their packaging and processing equipment more efficient. This applies across many sectors as we report on in this feature.

For instance, Sidel has leveraged the latest in automation technology to develop Bottle Switch, a new changeover solution designed for the Sidel EvoBLOW range.

It can be applied to gravimetric preform feeders, ovens and blowing wheels to support a quick switch in preform neck finishes and bottle shapes. It also offers the possibility to select and apply the right equipment process and configuration efficiently for every SKU, with shortened changeover duration alongside high-precision as well as repeatable operations.

The overall changeover time delivered by Bottle Switch, compared to a standard manual changeover, can be reduced by 75% and when applied on a preform feeder and oven, changeovers can be completed in just 17 minutes compared to 1 hour and 5 minutes for a manual process.

Meanwhile, Robopac Systems, part of the Aetna Group, has developed Kratos, a robotic stretch film wrapping

Robots make the difference

Packaging and processing machinery manufacturers are adopting robots to deliver gains for their clients

according to the load to be wrapped. This, says the company, ensures total flexibility for any load size, better product care even with fragile goods, high-quality packaging, safer logistics and film savings of up to 50% compared to conventional fixed pre-stretch solutions. The new system features several elements including an anthropomorphic robot for handling stretch film pre-stretch carriages with an integrated film cutting and sealing device; an upper vertical presser for load stabilisation and a rotary table. These elements are connected by an electrical axis and are each equipped with a film gripping system for full

flexibility of the wrapping cycle.

Kratos can perform wrapping cycles starting either at the bottom of the pallet via the clamp mounted on the table, or at the top of the pallet thanks to the clamp on the presser. The film cutting and sealing operations are carried out by the integrated cutting and sealing device on the pre-stretch carriage and can be performed at any point on the pallet, thus allowing for maximum safety to avoid problems with any potential wrapping queues.

At the same time, robotic solutions for the sandwich industry developed by Grote Company are designed to increase production and improve accuracy by automating high-volume, low-value tasks. As an example,

Grote worked with Martel Foods, a family-owned manufacturer of ready-to-eat products based in Canada, to help the company ramp up production of its pre-packaged sandwiches.

This equipment includes a 3D vision system, a 4-axis Stäubli HE robot, and also custom end-of-arm tooling surrounded by guarding. It’s built into Martel’s existing sandwich assembly line, which features Grote’s bread denester and an ultrasonic sandwich cutter.

By automating sandwich ‘lidding’ (putting the top piece of bread on a sandwich), Martel can now produce 52 sandwiches a minute. This marks a nearly 50% increase in speed and replaces one operator per shift.

OCME has developed a new robotic depalletising application that uses intelligent algorithms for product handling

Robopac Systems has introduced this Kratos unit

“Some jobs – like assembling sandwiches in a cold environment – are ideal for automation,” says John Truscott, technology director, Grote Company.

OCME, part of the Aetna Group, has recently developed a new robotic depalletising application that features artificial vision, with 3D cameras, while also using intelligent algorithms for product recognition and handling. It is ideal for contract packers that need production speed and flexibility, when they have to adapt quickly to constantly changing sizes and products.

The clever approach taken by the OCME solution involves handling the product without stopping the flow and implementing a product removal algorithm for robotic handling that is optimal both in terms of safety (avoiding any kind of collision) and also in performance.

In the application developed by OCME, considering the size and weight of the product to be handled – and therefore of the depalletising system as a whole – can be tricky for current robots. This is why this clever system was developed that allows complete synergy between 3D vision, overall scene analysis and product segmentation, and the best possible design of extraction trajectories.

Finally, Shawpak’s small footprint thermoforming

machine which can be easily integrated with robot loading is an ideal single piece flow solution for medical device manufacturers. Taking up

3D vision gives top presentation

An advanced vision solution from Scorpion Vision can deliver a high-spec look across all types of gifting trays

Scorpion Vision has developed a special 3D stereo visionbased inspection solution that ensures excellent presentation for chocolate gifting trays while also delivering labour savings for manufacturers.

By performing with near 100% accuracy, this task is usually carried out by one or two workers, so Scorpion’s system can help confectionery manufacturers and packers to combat unskilled labour shortages, while increasing line efficiency.

This system deploys the Scorpion 3D Venom camera to inspect chocolates that have been deposited in compartmentalised trays

by pick and place robots. Occasionally, after being placed, chocolates will bounce up and either turn upside down or jump out of the tray altogether.

Scorpion has therefore engineered an advanced vision solution that images the chocolates in 3D and takes precision shape measurements to confirm that each chocolate is in the right compartment and position. At the heart of the solution is the global shutter 3D Venom camera, which is ideal for applications in cutting-edge 3D stereo vision systems owing to its short baseline.

“The shorter the baseline, the more accurate the stereo or ‘z’ depth – a camera trait

that is essential for reliable decision making in this application,” explains Paul Wilson, managing director at Scorpion Vision.

“The system requires several data sets to determine, with high accuracy, whether the right chocolate is in the right position,” he continues.

“As well as generating a 3D profile, it relies on precise dimensional measurements, 2D imaging and colour imaging to build a complete and detailed picture.

“With this data combination, it can even analyse the texture of each chocolate to determine whether they are correctly placed,” he says.

“If a chocolate is upside

No more upside-down chocolates down, for example, the vision system recognises that the texture or pattern on that chocolate is different to the reference.”

Without this system, factories usually have to ▸

Avert knowledge gaps

Rockwell says software powered by AR solutions is securing the future

At interpack, Machinery Update caught up with Ashkan Ashouriha, product business manager EMEA region for IIoT & digital engineering at Rockwell Automation. He was keen to share his thoughts on how Rockwell is helping to equip future workforces through implementing modern software and digital technologies powered by industrial augmented reality (AR) solutions.

With the imminent retirement of the baby-boomer workforce, decades of crucial company knowledge is being lost. Manufacturers are avoiding this knowledge crisis by implementing said modern software and digital technologies powered by AR solutions to capture and preserve operational knowledge for the future quickly and efficiently.

Tribal knowledge of experienced workers is quickly captured and shared with new workers and service technicians. AR can also be used to enable workers to perform better and avoid safety and compliance risks by providing easy access to the information they need; using AR to improve workforce productivity, efficiency, and customer satisfaction with real-time, step-by-step work instructions.

Ashouriha believes that as everyone is used to having fast, digital information in their personal lives, they want to use the same, easy to use technology in their work environment. But, he says, in manufacturing, each journey to digital transformation is different.

“There’s no blueprint,” he says. “It’s important to know where the journey starts, define the goals and then pick the appropriate tools,” he explains.

He thinks that AR helps companies to work in a different way and provides the tools to work pragmatically.

“It’s important to define what you really need, right from the start.”

including Microsoft HoloLens 2, RealWear, Vuzix, Magic Leap and others.

“The new generation wants capabilities on demand,” he says.

Each Vuforia solution is optimised for specific capabilities including remote assistance, training, knowledge transfer and safety. This means workers can connect and collaborate with remote experts in real-time; reduce errors in training and instruction methods; workers can be upskilled rapidly with fewer incidents and errors and workforce safety, efficiency and accuracy can be improved.

Customers can access the entire scalable cloud-based portfolio of Rockwell Automation’s FactoryTalk Twin Studio software through a flexible credit programme. Using this model, customers can use credits to access the software they need and only pay for the time used.

Rockwell’s Vuforia AR solutions enables companies to create and deliver easy to consume instructions with new or existing media content/capture, 2D and 3D content, sequences, IoT data and real-time annotations in shared environments. And these AR experiences can be viewed on industry-leading mobile devices and 2D and 3D eyewear

Whenever a service is started, the meter for the service starts; and each software has a defined meter rate in credits per hour. This enables customers to control the scale of their solution by sharing credits across their organisation to help scale development expenses to actual usage.

“The new credit programme provides a balance of flexibility and cost management to meet customer needs by making software adoption easier and enabling customers to achieve a faster return on investment,” says Ashouriha.

Robotics deliver efficiency gains

Bradman Lake uses robotics and vision guided systems to deliver productivity gains to clients

Blradman Lake adopted robotic technology across its range of top loading cartoners, case packing and palletising machines some time ago to deliver increased productivity, improved quality and reduced costs to its customers. With an ever-increasing demand to pick and place randomly orientated products, Bradman Lake utilises vision guided robotic technology. The latest version of this method is the VGR2000 which has been specifically designed to meet flexibility requirements of customers. The VGR utilises a camera vision system to identify and pick products from a conveyor belt and these products are then placed into the desired packaging format. This system can be easily adapted to different products and packaging lines. The company also produces a range of modular robotic top loaders; from the lower speed indexing single racetrack

controlled via a servo drive SRT, the mid speed dual (one to load and one to unload) servo-controlled racetrack DRT, to the higher speed triple (one to load, one to unload and one to return) racetrack TRT.

Working in combination with a precision end-of-arm tool, which picks a predetermined count, all machines employ a Delta robot to pick, collate (utilising the Delta robot’s fourth axis) and load the products. The machine utilises a special design carton management system to accurately space pre-erected cartons, trays or cases for loading.

As a multi-functional machine, it is capable of collating and top loading products into cartons, trays or cases or position tracking, synchronising and loading the moving infeed of an end load cartoner or a multi-pack flow wrapper.

Dual operation can be employed for customers wanting to utilise the same machine to load both cartons and multipack flow wraps on the same unit. In addition, these top loaders can be supplied as single or dual input.

Bradman Lake believes its range of robotic packaging solutions deliver significant increases in productivity, improved quality by ensuring that products are consistently placed in the correct position and orientation in the packaging and reduced costs by eliminating the need for manual labour and minimising the risk of errors.

Also designed for use with collaborative robots, these gripper systems provide solutions to handling applications across multiple sectors such as the automotive, glass or electronics industry, in addition to end of line packaging and intralogistics tasks.

Schmalz has devised several new options for cobot users

of applications within intralogistics such as end of line packaging and pick and place applications. The gripper design, which uses 3D printing as part of the manufacturing process, complies with ISO TS 15066, and the FXCB variant also includes integrated vacuum generation.

Additional features of this range include communication technology via IO-Link, and an integrated NFC (near

With their low weight and low noise levels, together with their smooth, rounded design, these grippers are also suitable for human-robotcollaboration applications. In addition, says the company, the low weight and dynamic geometry of these compact and energy efficient grippers ensure optimum operational robot cycles, while the process and condition analysis functionality which is also available, provides useful operational information for maintenance personnel which can be accessed using a smart phone.

Mpac Group has been working with FREYR Battery on the exclusive supply of the casting and unit cell assembly equipment on the battery cell production line at FREYR’s Giga Arctic factory in Norway. These systems produce batteries using 24M’s SemiSolid platform, with the contribution of the 24M engineering team being crucial throughout the system’s development.

And despite the fact that this equipment measures 25 metres long and 8 metres tall, the company had to meet the fine tolerances required for this new application.

“We are working to micron level accuracy on high pressure processes moving in constant motion.

“The accuracy that is required to create batteries with 24M’s SemiSolid platform and each requirement handled individually is challenging enough; requiring all three at once results in a truly impressivefeatofengineering,” Matthew Potts, Mpac’s head of operations, tells Machinery Update

The relationship between the two companies started when Mpac was awarded the contract to design and build the development line for FREYR’s Customer Qualification Plant in July 2021, which was subsequently installed ahead of the facility’s opening event in March this year.

The casting and unit cell assembly sits at the heart of the battery cell production process and encompasses significant proprietary processesthatsupportFREYR’s desire to produce the world’s lowest CO2 batteries in the market. The development line is not only utilised to develop new products but also to provide a training facility for staff for future Gigafactories andactsasaninitialproduction line for customer samples.

Teamwork advantages

Mpac Group is working to establish itself as a provider of new automation equipment for clean energy clients

Consequently, Mpac has leveraged 24M’s battery casting technology and its in-house expertise and experience in automation and mass production systems to construct and install the equipment. The machine was installed in Q1 2023 and is in the commissioning phase, pushing towards making complete cells.

To produce SemiSolid

batteries requires fewer processes than a traditional battery manufacturing line. This novel approach does, however result in the need for innovative solutions to ensure the product is manufactured consistently. The Mpac system processes the cells from foil infeed through to the pouching process including casting, singulation, cell assembly, sealing and

stacking with advanced quality systems throughout to deliver the high-quality product FREYR requires.

“One of the biggest challenges we faced during the development of this system was ensuring the quality of the coating; having to incorporate intermittent and constant motion processes under high force,” explains Thomas Dalton, strategic account manager at Mpac. This process development required a unique solution as Mpac wanted to solve the problem at hand but also work with FREYR and 24M to ensure that any system would be aligned with their

Digital twin commissioning was used for key processes which accelerated this new development

Mpac has worked to micron level accuracy on high pressure processes moving in constant motion for this application

long-term strategy.

“Bringing the FREYR product to market by providing a flexible yet highly sophisticated system to meet their customer’s needs was critical to the success of the project,” says Dalton. The resultant system incorporates the world’s largest application of the Siemens-Festo multi carrier system alongside multiple first of a kind processes to support the customer’s growing needs.

The utilisation of digital twin commissioning for key processes accelerated the development of the system by reducing the risks before the physical commissioning and allowing further development to happen earlier in the process. This development process overcame numerous web handling challenges, while both 24M and Mpac’s experience in complex web handling systems allowed it to take a non-traditional approach to these issues. This has resulted in numerous first of a kind solutions that, believes Mpac can change the possibilities for cell manufacturing.

FUTURE IMPROVEMENT

The system is now installed within the CQP facility and Mpac is now setting its sights on throughput and efficiency improvements for future systems. Mpac and FREYR Battery are also currently working together on the pre-engineering phase for the Casting and Unit cell assembly system for FREYR’s US-based Gigafactory in Georgia, Giga America.

“Working collaboratively with 24M and FREYR at the CQP facility has created an exceptional team,” said Adam Holland, chief executive of the Mpac Group. “The casting and unit cell assembly system represents the heart of the production line and Mpac looks forward to working collaboratively during the pre-engineering phase for

FREYR’s plans in the US.”

“Following the official opening of the FREYR CQP facility in Mo i Rana, we look forward to progressing our

relationship with Mpac and working together to meet our ambitions for speed and scale in producing clean and sustainable battery

solutions,” said Einar Kilde, who is the EVP project execution at FREYR.

Technology inspired by human talent

Cama Group is a leading supplier of advanced technology secondary packaging systems continuously investing in innovative solutions.

With its new CL Series and a variety of payloads and reaches, Kawasaki Robotics says it is providing an entirely new and agile approach to collaborative robotics –powered by a partnership with Neura Robotics.

Launched at Automatica in Munich this June, the joint venture is said to bring together two companies with a like-minded desire to challenge the current understanding of cobots in industry – entering a new era of collaborative automation.

The CL Series is billed as offering the best of both worlds, with full-on industrial scale performance and speed paired with maximum protection and all the advantages of collaborative robotics.

Combined with an intuitive user interface, the new cobots are designed to make automating production lines easier than ever before. With payloads and reaches of 3 kg/590 mm, 5kg /800 mm, 8 kg/1300 mm and also 10 kg/1000 mm, the four models offer solutions across industry needs.

Free mounting orientations, small footprints and IP66 classification provide additional flexibility – for all models.

Its proprietary safety architecture and many features for safety positions, speed, torque, zones, limits and collision detection allow them to operate alongside human workers.

Latest robots bring benefit

New robots are being developed all the time to meet the flexibility & efficiency needs in manufacturing

The CL Series brings together a speed of 200deg/s and repeatability of ± 0.02 mm for all models. Kawasaki also points out that thanks to its compact and robust design and IP66 rating, the CL Series can be used in all kinds of harsh environments that may not be suitable for other collaborative robots.

Epson was celebrating 40 years of robotics solutions at Automatica as well as launching its GX-B series of SCARA robots. These new

options build on its GX series of high-performance SCARA robots, which offer variety, functionality, and performance to deliver high-power-density and payloads. The GX8 SCARA from the series was recently awarded a 2023 Red Dot: Product Design award.

The company was also joined on the exhibition stand by partners Hupico France, Compar Switzerland, Economa and GM Automatyka, demonstrating a range of operations including 3D bin

picking, labelling applications and battery pack assembly and much more.

“The GX-B series responds directly to the challenges faced by customers,” says Volker Spanier, head of manufacturing solutions Epson EMEAR. “This series combines high speed, precision and safety with the versatility to perform a multitude of applications, and customers can receive the benefits of human robot interaction without

Epson also launched an upgrade to the existing GX-A series with new safety functionalities.

Meanwhile, ABB Robotics has transformed its autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) with the addition of Visual Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (Visual SLAM) technology, enabling its AMRs to make intelligent navigation decisions based on their surroundings. Using AI-enabled 3D vision to perform location and mapping functions, ABB’s Visual SLAM AMRs make production faster, more flexible, efficient and resilient while taking on dull, dirty and dangerous tasks so people can focus on more rewarding work.

Visual SLAM combines AI and 3D vision technologies to guarantee a superior performance in comparison to other guidance techniques for AMRs, says the company.

“Offering more autonomy and intelligence, our new AMRs operate safely in dynamic, human-populated environments and Visual SLAM technology provides a new level of intelligence for AMRs that transforms robotic applications, from production and distribution through to healthcare,” explains Marc Segura, president of ABB Robotics Division.

Of course, gripper systems and end of arm tooling go hand in hand with robotic product handling solutions for a variety of applications and a recent application from the Zimmer Group required

automated item picking to transfer shoe boxes from tote bins to a conveyor system.

The main system elements comprised of a 6-axis robot,

In recent times, manufacturing industry has undergone a significant transformation, driven in part by advances in high-mix, low-volume (HMLV) demand. This trend has impacted the entire supply chain operation, from procurement to sales, but Adnan Khan, business development manager at Beckhoff Automation UK, says manufacturers can leverage technology to manage their supply chain effectively, save on costs, and deliver products to customers on time and in the way they want it.

HMLV manufacturing, of course, involves producing a variety of products in small quantities and although this allows manufacturers to cater to individual customer needs and preferences while minimising inventory costs, it also presents significant challenges to supply chain operations across the board.

HMLV manufacturers are therefore embracing increased automation, but these solutions have to provide flexibility, modularity, a small physical footprint, and mobility. This is made possible by onboard software intelligence, more lightweight and responsive hardware, and low-code/no-code applications.

The Beckhoff XTS linear transport system is an example of such a solution. It is a flexible conveyance technology that empowers manufacturers to handle diverse product combinations and packaging formats on a single line, without requiring any mechanical changeovers.

The XTS comprises configurable motor modules that are assembled into a continuous track, which can take on various shapes such as circular, rectangular, or complex, curved geometries based on the requirements of the specific application. The movers on the XTS have the ability to operate

Advancing technology

Changing demands on manufacturers is accelerating the need for more advanced industrial automation

autonomously, allowing them to accelerate, brake, and adjust their speed independently.

Manufacturers can process a larger variety of products without needing to expand their facilities due to the XTS’s configurable track, which conserves floor space and facilitates software-based changeovers.

CLIENT NEEDS EVOLVE

“As the manufacturing industry continues to evolve, the adoption of these advanced automation technologies will likely become increasingly essential for manufacturers looking to stay competitive and meet the changing demands of their customers,”

Khan tells Machinery Update

Digital transformation, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) and Industry 4.0 are just a few of the reoccurring themes of the advancing technology for industrial automation. The question is how to translate these themes into effective solutions that could benefit current automation processes for manufacturers, says Korina Parker, marketing manager at Murrelektronik UK. She says the company is focussed on providing workable solutions for these advances in automation technology that are easy to integrate and have long-lasting advantages.

“We believe that the future will be completely cabinet-free

and so decentralised solutions are a core aspect of our technology,” she tells Machinery Update. Solutions include fieldbus modules, switches, power supplies, IO-Link, cables and connectors all working together to make automation easier and simpler. When needed, Murrelektronik application engineers can assist with planning, design, test and integration into existing systems. This saves installation and design time, which in turn saves money and resources.

At the same time, IO-Link offers a huge advantage and is a gateway to smart manufacturing as it allows for all types of data (service/

process/event) to be transferred at high speed to and from controllers and devices. This means more efficient and agile processes, greater machine availability and permanent data access (for identification, diagnosis and configuration).

“The IO-Link Pro system is a universal installation system, perfect as a starting point for digitalisation and, at the same time, delivering a future-proof IIoT concept,” says Parker.

Meanwhile, advancing industrial image processing technology is revolutionising machine vision applications. “Murrelektronik’s ‘plug and play’ solution for machine vision technology enables quick connection for power supplies and signal/data management, which allows for the smart networking of cameras in industrial production, processes and logistics applications,” she says.

Finally, Parker extols the advantages of its Vario-X product, that is a modular, flexible and stand-alone automation system, which has the ability to communicate to high level systems, as well as other PLC systems. “For the first time, all automation functions can be implemented without a panel in sight,” she says.

Meanwhile, KEB Automation has been working with ISG Steuerungstechnik on a digital twin development that reduces the time required for machine commissioning by up to 90%.

With ISG-virtuos, ISG provides simulation

technology that enables virtual commissioning with the help of a digital twin. Building on this, the so-called ‘TwinStore’ is an

online store or exchange platform on which component manufacturers such as KEB Automation can store their digital twins and offer

these to machine and plant manufacturers for virtual commissioning.

Smart range delivers host of benefits

Piab has developed and released a range of smart products that not only enhance the user experience, but that deliver savings in operational costs.

Piab’s piCOMPACT23SMART, piCOMPACT10XSMART, piCOBOT and cobot palletising tool (CPT) have the piSMART valve unit in common. And with this feature incorporated, these tools benefit from a lot more than the company’s standard units.

This piSMART valve unit is IO-Link ready, offering Industry 4.0 capabilities to the user. The sensors incorporated allow the units to automatically provide the right vacuum flow, level and blow off required for the product being picked as standard. The data collected allows for automatic condition monitoring (ACM), which can be used to deliver predictive maintenance, to reduce system downtime. Reducing compressed air consumption is another user benefit of the piSMART valve unit, with automatic energy saving level determination (ALD) shutting off the ejectors within the tool once it can hold the product securely; and it only switches back on when required.

Piab says its customers have saved up to 50% of compressed air costs for their systems by switching to this technology, as the piSMART valve unit enhances the existing energy savings that can be made from using COAX cartridges for vacuum generation. These provide a high initial flow for safe and fast gripping capabilities.

Filling system is using robots

Adelphi Masterfil’s new intelligent robotic filling system incorporates a robotic arm, a vision system, a weigher from Mettler Toledo, a servocontrolled diving lance and a pallet handling conveyor. It can fill pails, drums, and IBCs with precision and ease and has been shortlisted for the 2023 Engineering & Manufacturing Awards, in the Engineering Innovator category.

An ABB robot is fitted with a servo actuator camera vision system that is programmed to seek the vessel opening centre point efficiently and consistently. The camera and robot are also set up to allow remote access for reprogramming as needed and is interfaced with the Adelphi technology team for personalised support remotely.

Designed for no contact with the vessel neck, this technology combined with a weigh scale to avoid overfill, removes operator error when filling. The nozzle has a dive distance of up to 1 m, so that it can fill under the level of the liquid to prevent any product foaming.

Designed with hazardous materials applications in mind, or in situations where human input has a substantial risk to the operator, the engineering team focused on making this an accessible automation solution to customers in the chemical, cleaning, lubricant and food and beverage industries.

The launch model can fill barrels, IBCs and 20 litre containers. The capping head attached to the robot provides a magnetic hold or grip hold as required, enabling uncapping, filling, and re-capping to correct torque to be carried out by the robotic filler independently.

Adelphi can provide a full package of guards and roller conveyors to fit requirements as part of the production line at a customer site.

The installation of the intelligent robotic filler is quick, and it can be set up and ready to work within a competitive timeline, enabling customers to have a fast response when taking on new filling contracts or extending lines.

With the explosion of AI language models this year, we’ve seen consumers use tools like ChatGPT to write anything and everything from birthday poems to historical essays; the same applies to writing code for your machine vision programme, says Clearview Imaging. “AI language models are actually very good at writing basic code for HTML, CSS and Javascript, but if you’re serious about getting your machine vision system right, then it’s best to use dedicated code generation software that is specifically designed for machine vision applications,” explains md of Clearview Allan Anderson.

That’s why Matrox has developed MIL Co-Pilot which is a sister programme of MIL X, and it can generate clear, functional code from the recorded operations for any MIL X-supported language (C++, C#, Python, and Visual Basic). This provides even the most experienced developers with a faster, easier, and more efficient approach to jump-start vision application development.

Meanwhile, Zebra Technologies has implemented a rugged OCR tool for its machine vision systems and smart cameras, which utilises Deep Learning to reach new levels of accuracy and consistency when imaging alphanumeric characters.

“The attraction here is cutting out the time-consuming, headache-inducing setup that has traditionally been necessary when deploying OCR machine vision systems,” says Anderson. Zebra Deep Learning OCR is easy to setup and deploy, which saves invaluable time and money due to there being no need to train different text and fonts.

Now, the Sick Ruler3002, 3004 and 3010 have been designed with more compact dimensions than the rest of the Ruler3000 family for integration into tight machine spaces. The addition of a high-powered blue 3R laser gives the three

smaller cameras the rapid exposure times necessary to capture the tiniest threedimensional details at rapid production speeds. These cameras therefore extend the capabilities of the Ruler3000 to the minutest details.

AI VISION TECHNOLOGY

At the same time, Fisher Smith has been working with the Plastek Group to leverage Deep Learning AI vision technology to enhance its existing inspection line. Immediate benefits from real-time inspection data analysis enabled swift identification of defects

and anomalies and prompt corrective actions. Significant reduction in delays, smoother operations and enhanced productivity followed.

In recent years, the advancements in 3D technology have been gamechanging for industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and robotics. However, says MultiPix, not all 3D technology is created equal.

Historically, what is now classed as 2.5D contains depth information for each pixel in an image, resulting in a so called ‘height map’ or ‘depth map’ that provides 3D coordinates of the surface

UKIVA members are all developing faster, easier to use and more cost effective options to deliver best outcomes

in the scene. This allows for relatively crude measurements and recognition of objects and is useful for applications such as object tracking and gesture recognition but stops short of providing any information about the ‘pose’ angle of the surface.

On the other hand, ‘True 3D’ cameras capture both depth information and the pose of the surface which is provided as ‘normals’ for each coordinate. This results in what is known as a full ‘point cloud’, which is ideal for precise measurements.

So, for applications that require precise measurements of a 3D surface or involve robot control/collaboration, ‘True 3D’ technology is essential, says the company. This is where Photoneo’s 3D cameras come in. These cameras use fringe pattern projection technology, which projects a pattern (or series of patterns) onto the object and then calculates the point cloud from the fringes.

LATEST VISION OPTIONS

This provides high-resolution point clouds with sub-millimetre accuracy. Several other new vision options have also been introduced recently. For instance, Minebea Intec offers VisoCompact, SmartInspector and VisioPointer vision systems that supplement quality control with automatic optical inspections at critical points and offer individually modified inspection criteria for automated end of line use.

In fact, the line handles naked chocolate-covered macadamia products in three shapes, 15 packaging counts, 17 packaging formats and five SKU styles at this throughput speed.

The turnkey line developed by Cama uses robots equipped with Gimatic grippers. These are used to pick naked chocolates from feed rows on a conveyor before then gently placing them into PET trays that arrive in parallel from a de-nester.

The chocolates’ quality, shape and position on the belt are determined using a special 3D laser scanner supplied by Univision.

Once each tray is full, they are loaded singly or in pairs (with a cushion sheet) into a carton tray before a lid is formed and tucked into the tray. The finished product is a completed box containing anything from four to 32 chocolates. These boxes are then fed through an x-ray machine and check weigher before heading to a case packer at the end of the line.

The line is also capable of bulk packaging, which is also used as a fall back in case of any line issues. In this instance, carton sheets can be fed through the line and the delta robots can directly load chocolates into the carton which are then passed onto a manual loading section requested by the customer. This approach prevents any significant downtime.

“You can’t just stop a 1,500 ppm line,” explains Alessandro Rocca, group sales director at Cama Group. “And this counts as double, as phase two of this project will see another line going in.”

Chris Rabago, director of manufacturing at Hawaiian Host, says that Cama established

Cama says the variables in this solution demanded a digitalised solution. “This line benefits from our full Industry 4.0 offering and is one of the first to deploy our new AI-driven line supervisor software,” explains Rocca.

“And, to keep uptime to an absolute maximum, it exploits our ‘toolless’ RFID-managed changeover solution and an automated gripper system, both of which help deliver some of the fastest batch-swap routines in the industry.”

The digitalised approach also makes operator training, machine interactions and maintenance routines simpler, thanks to immersive augmented reality (AR).

Manufacturing made easier…

PPMA members are adopting robotics to deliver several production advantages for manufacturers

Labman Automation, a UK-based company creating laboratory automation solutions, has partnered with collaborative robots (cobots) manufacturer Universal Robots to develop the MultiDose powder dosing system.

This MultiDose system will enable pharmaceutical companies to rollout much needed products for testing, bringing them to market faster.

A highly accurate, automated solid dispensing instrument, it will save technicians up to six hours per experiment, compared to manual processes.

The system requires virtually no training, is user-friendly and intuitive for technicians to use. Increased throughput of a laboratory is enabled by the ‘walk away’ nature of the MultiDose system, which allows experiments to be performed automatically, even out of normal working hours.

“With medicine shortages ongoing across the UK, EU and US supply chains, the pharmaceutical industry is under pressure like never before. “That’s why it’s crucial for pharmaceutical companies to have access to out-of-the-box automation solutions that can be used right away,” says Adrien Poinssot, global director for

OEM at Universal Robots. “We are proud to have played a role in Labman’s MultiDose to create turnkey solutions that will allow the pharmaceutical industry to be more flexible, reactive and efficient in these challenging times.”

A key part of the MultiDose system requires a cobot. Having collaborated with Universal Robots on previous projects, Labman saw the company as the natural partner. Labman selected the UR3e – a highly flexible cobot arm – which can be easily integrated into an established laboratory process, without compromising safety, while adhering to strict industry regulations.

Meanwhile, Olympus Technologies has launched a cobot press brake tending solution, following demand from customers wanting to use Universal Robots to handle lighter parts being processed through a press brake. And to fall into line with its international sister sites, Olympus has designed a UKCA marked safe solution.

Fully integrated to a press brake, the solution offers the typical uplifts in productivity from any robot machine tending project. Just by removing downtime between parts, eradicating breaks, lunchtimes and meetings, customers can see productivity uplifts of 25%, just by keeping the press brake in production.

Olympus Technologies is also launching its own press brake tending end-effector called the Scorpio gripper. It offers a

capability of lifting parts up to 6kg; pneumatic multi-circuit suction cups with vac sensors; pneumatic pinch grippers; 180-degree rotation of parts; adjustable gripper configurations for larger/smaller parts and blow off for part removal and cup cleaning.

At the same time, a suite of automation solutions from Fanuc has proved integral to the delivery of an industrial-scale laser cutting cell commissioned by the UK’s Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC). Constructed by system integrator Cyan Tec Systems, the demonstration cell comprises a 12 m x 4 m cutting table and, from Fanuc UK, a six-axis robot, a computerised numerical control (CNC) system for the flatbed, and the laser, all contained within a laser-secure enclosure.

“The main reason for working with Fanuc was the fact that they could offer a seamless automation solution incorporating not just the robot but also the laser and motion system,” says Cyan Tec’s project co-ordinator Grant Copson.

The system was specifically commissioned by the MTC to sit at the upper end of industry expectations in terms of scale to showcase to visiting manufacturers just what is possible within automated laser cutting. There is real scope for the cell to be used within the aerospace and automotive industries, or any industry that requires large-scale pre-cut profiles.

The construction sector could also benefit from cells of this size, in particular for precision cutting of profile sections for prefabricated buildings.

Meanwhile, a new robotic handling system has proved to be successful on an automatic grinding machine for a major German pump manufacturer who specialise in supplying customised pumps for automotive engineering applications. At the heart of the automated system is a Motoman GP7 one of the most successful robots developed by Yaskawa. The GP7 is an agile and compact universal robot with a 7 kg payload, up to 927 mm reach and repeatability of +/- 0.01 mm.

In operation, workpieces are loaded and clamped into the machine with typical machining times achieved between 3 and 5 minutes. The components are then stacked on universal pallets which are adapted for the respective workpieces by means of component specific plastic clips.

The ultra-compact design of the GP7 robot enables it to be positioned closer to machines and fixtures – helping to save valuable floor space. It also features a parallel-link construction for strength, rigidity and stabilisation of high inertia loads, along with heavy-duty bearings which ensure a smooth arm rotation.

3D sensors offer many user benefits

The latest machine vision release from wenglor sensoric – the next generation of ShapeDrive 3D sensors – is now available in the UK and billed as being stronger than ever before.

The two product series from the ShapeDrive G4 family for small and large measuring volumes MLAS and MLBS generate high-resolution point clouds in the shortest possible time with almost no noise. Among other things, this is made possible by the integrated MPSoC technology (multiprocessor system-on-achip), which ensures powerful performance values fourfold.

The 3D sensors of the new ShapeDrive G4 product family meet the highest demands on the quality and availability of 3D point clouds, says wenglor. The combination of high-quality hardware and sophisticated algorithms ensures an excellent measuring rate and display performance. Stable and repeatable measured values are guaranteed even under fluctuating ambient conditions thanks to the built-in temperature management.

Calibration on delivery and regular updates ensure that the sensors provide consistent results into the future and stay up to date at all times. Two out of nine sensor models come with 5 MP resolution and three others with 12 MP resolution. All models cover small measuring volumes of just 60 × 40 × 40 mm – for example, for inspecting the smallest electronic components such as circuit boards – up to large volumes of 1,300 × 1,000 × 1,000 mm for applications such as bin picking from large containers.

Elesa has developed a line of components made of self-sanitising technopolymer containing inorganic silver ion-based antimicrobial additives (without active pharmaceutical ingredients, antibiotics or pesticides) that penetrate the surface of the cell to attack its DNA, thereby preventing the proliferation of unwanted organisms such as microbes, bacteria, and fungi. The metal inserts are in stainless steel.

The silver particles contained in the special technopolymer are distributed throughout the material and not just on the surface, allowing the antimicrobial self-sanitising effect to be maintained unchanged for the entire life cycle of the components, even when there is abrasion on the surfaces.

Designed for pharmaceutical industry machinery, these components are free from toxic side effects and offer resistance to corrosion, humidity, and to the detergents used during any disinfection, which are in any case required by law in certain types of environments.
