72 MACHINERY UPDATE JULY/AUGUST <strong>2018</strong> www.machineryupdate.co.uk Feature: Automation, robotics and vision Partnership provides easy to use robots Stäubli Robotics and Schneider Electric have further developed their partnership by signing a long-term agreement to integrate customised Stäubli TS series four axis SCARA robots into Schneider’s EcoStruxure machine architecture and platform. Benefits of this closer relationship will include the ability to seamlessly integrate robots into automation systems; innovation at every level across the connected products, edge control and app; and reduced time and effort with standardised programming. EcoStruxure is Schneider Electric’s IoT-enabled, open and interoperable system architecture and platform. It helps to deliver smart machines by combining products and software packages into automation solutions for OEM machine builders. Stäubli Robotics develops specialised solutions for every industry by offering a comprehensive line of four axis TP fast pickers and TS SCARA robots, as well as six axis TX and TX2 collaborative robots. Stäubli robots provide speed, precision, and reliability in operation. Schneider is integrating a customised version of the Stäubli TS series four axis SCARA robots into its solution portfolio. Called the Lexium STS series, these robots will now be fully integrated into the architecture of the company’s PacDrive motion control solution. W www.schneider-electric.com W www.staubli.co.uk The two companies are working closer than ever The move from pneumatics to electrical lifting systems carries many advantages for the food user Thermoformer brings benefits Latest machine is Industry 4.0-ready to meet performance demands in ever changing times When Multivac introduced its RX 4.0 (also known as X-Line) next generation of thermoformers, it ensured that it was Industry 4.0 ready to help its food customers cope with current issues such as initiatives around plastics reduction and the uncertainties around Brexit’s impact on the availability of labour. For instance, the X-line includes Pack Pilot; a cloud-based feature that allows inexperienced operators to select a film type from a drop-down menu. This information is then coupled with the format information which is contained electronically into the die itself, allowing the machine to self-parameterise. The machine is therefore available for instant production, vastly cutting the production of any poor packs. The RX 4.0 also monitors its own performance and makes adjustments as required, allowing the machine to remain at optimal production for the entire duration of its shift. If adjustments can’t be made to maintain its optimal settings, a message will appear suggesting specific components be maintained or replaced to prevent line failure. Subsequently, service and replacements can be planned to avoid interruption of production, meaning producers no longer have to rely on highly-skilled operators to keep the machine running at optimal performance. The X-Line thermoformer can be equipped with a draw die change system, meaning that pack formats can be changed quickly and efficiently, reducing downtime and again, the need for highly-skilled operators.
