Stäubli will be presenting its food robots at IFFA in Frankfurt am Main and demonstrating the benefits of hygienic robots for food safety and quality.

At the trade fair for innovations in process technology for meat and alternative proteins, which takes place from 3 to 8 May, Stäubli Robotics will be demonstrating how producers can increase their efficiency and productivity with advanced hygienic robots. The company offers Automation solutions for the entire range of tasks from pick and place, sorting, cutting, boning, portioning to packing and palletising.

Food robots: hygiene design is crucial

Equipment used in the food industry must fulfil strict requirements to prevent contamination and ensure food safety and quality. The food robots from Stäubli follow the recommendations of the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG) for hygienic design. In order to support the complex work processes in the food industry, Stäubli Robotics offers a comprehensive Portfolio of HE robots (Humid Environment), which are modified so that they work reliably even in harsh environments.

Live demonstrations at IFFA will show how these robots Safely automate tasks in meat processing while demonstrating efficiency and consistent quality. One of the exhibits features two Stäubli robots, a TX2-60 he and a Red Dot Award-winning TS2-60 he, which use conveyor tracking to cut and handle raw meat. While the six-axis TX2 cuts the meat into portions with the water jet, the SCARA robot TS2 takes over the packaging.

Another demo shows the High-speed food packaging with a dynamic TS2-80 HE robot with vision system. The robot has the ability to handle difficult-to-grip and delicate food gently and without causing damage.

The cleanroom-compatible TX2-200 six-axle vehicle will also be on display at the trade fair. Newly modified for use in the food industry was. On site, the top model of the TX2 HE series is equipped with a meat processing tool.

Support throughout the entire life cycle

Stäubli Robotics offers a variety of support and training options, including a worldwide on-site repair services, to resolve problems quickly and maximise the availability and reliability of the robots. The result is a robot availability rate of 99.95 per cent. With MyStäubli Portal, the digital customer portal, customers can also easily track service and maintenance work and access an extensive technical library with CAD files and software, application support and online training from the Robotics Academy.
