KIEFEL GmbH has received the ABB European Value Provider Award in the \u201eOutstanding Performance\u201c category. The company uses ABB robots in the production of packaging made from natural fibres.<\/p>\n

With this award, ABB emphasises the extensive robot-supported automation performance that Kiefel provides, particularly with the NATUREFORMER KFT 90 machine. With this machine, Kiefel has been making inroads into the new business field of \u201efibre thermoforming\u201c, the thermoforming of packaging and other products based on natural fibres, for around a year.<\/p>\n

More flexibility through automation<\/h2>\n

The machine manufacturer has already been relying on industrial robot technology from ABB for many years, but has now been able to expand the collaboration even further with regard to the sought-after fibre technology. In the KFT 90, ABB robots are used for tool handling and the pick-and-place of products. The systems not only enable Kiefel to realise shorter development times or faster commissioning for its customers, but also to adapt the machine more flexibly for other product variants.<\/p>
