With a pick rate of
300 per minute,
Omron will debut
what it says is the world’s
fastest and most flexible Delta
pick and place robot.
The only Delta on the
market with four arms, the
Omron Quattro also offers a
larger working envelope and
a degree of manipulation
not achievable elsewhere.
Furthermore, the Quattro
is also the only Delta robot
which is USDA certified and
constructed with materials
that are safe for primary food
handling. This makes it more
hygienically-advanced than
existing robots on the market.
Key to the advanced
performance of the Quattro
Delta robot is a patented, four
arm rotational platform, which
offers significant advantages
over traditional three arm
Delta robots. The fourth arm
allows the robot to reach up
to 30% further than traditional
designs, facilitating a larger
operational area, including
the ability to access wider
conveyors.
GAME CHANGING OFFER
The extra arm also allows
the robot to tilt, meaning
the load can be placed at
a different angle than it is
picked – billed as a real game
changer for packaging and
other automation applications.
The powerful combination
of speed, manipulation,
reach and a 15kg payload will
ensure the Omron Quattro
Delta is ideal for any general
automation application.
“PPMA members go out of
their way to exhibit the latest
cutting-edge technology to
attract UK brand owners from
the food, pharma and fmcg
industries,” says Dan Rossek,
Omron’s marketing manager.
“This year, Omron will debut
the only 4 arm Delta robot
in the world which is also
the fastest Delta robot on
the market.
“It’s a feat of engineering
for all to see,” he concludes.
Complementing the Quattro
Delta will be a preview of
Omron’s futuristic OKAO
software. The demonstration
will show powerful gesture
control over the production
process, as well as how facial
recognition can be used to
unlock different levels of
access to control functions
and information.
Omron will also
demonstrate a new 4.0 ready
visualisation platform which
gives a complete visual
representation of critical
machine and production data.
