Mark Williamson
CHAIRMAN PPMA GROUP OF ASSOCIATIONS
(INCORPORATING PPMA, BARA AND UKIVA)
Welcome to this bumper edition of Machinery Update
featuring our annual automation, robotics and vision
systems feature (it starts on page 36). With the ever
growing pressure for efficiency, these technology sectors deliver
the key to developing solutions in reducing production costs
in all application segments. They are also critical in the era of
digitisation and Industry 4.0 as they help to facilitate this new
way of working. In fact, industry surveys show above average
growth in these sectors and in particular an annual growth rate
for vision systems exceeding 10% per annum.
The feature covers 40 pages and includes details on a diverse
range of new technologies and the ways they are being used in
industry. For instance, we even cover a story from Norway that
sees machine vision being used to ensure salmon are killed
humanely as well as an interesting piece about how robotics can
attract tech-savvy youngsters to the manufacturing sector.
Our new machinery finder app
will allow you to answer your
supplier needs quickly and easily
Another good indication of how much interest there is in
the technology is the exceptional attendance of the recent
Machine Vision Conference run by the UKIVA. With visitor
numbers up 17% over last year’s inaugural event, it’s another clear
indication that this technology is growing in importance.
More details on this event can be found on page 9.
Internally, the PPMA is in the midst of our own phase of
digitisation with the development of a new website and other
digital services to help members and also you, the reader of this
magazine. The first of these projects to launch is a new machinery
finder app, which is a brand new digital version of the wellrespected
printed annual directory. More detail of this app,
which is available from August, free of charge through
Google Play or the Apple App store, is on page 7 of this issue.
The association has also been busy enhancing member services
with a number of new training courses, more networking events
with many hot topics discussed. One event covered the PackML
open standard which makes machines on a production line talk
to each other more easily. Hosted by Lenze, the event was as
useful to end users as well as to machine builders (see page 8).
As the holiday season is upon us I wish you all a great
summer and come back ready to attend our ever-expanding
PPMA Show in September (25 - 27 at the NEC, Birmingham). n

Speech on PackML open standard
was a draw for breakfast meeting
Over 30 PPMA members
and other machine
builders gathered for
a PPMA breakfast meeting
hosted by Lenze in June to
hear Uwe Keiter, chairman

Workgroup extol the virtues
of the PackML open standard
for the vertical and horizontal
integration of (packaging)
machine development.

Lenze’s Uwe Keiter was speaking
The standard was initially
set up by a group of end users,
including Nestlé, P&G and
Unilever, to initiate a way of
making machines talk to each
other easier along a production
line comprising lots of kit.
“Fifteen years ago, software
developments were like the
Wild West with no consistency
between machines, even
the same type of machines,”
said Keiter. “This is why the
overall challenge of integration
costs has been addressed by
the standard.”
Attendees heard that at
machine level, the benefits
of using Pack ML include
increased interfacing and
overall equipment effectiveness
while total cost of ownership
goes down. One end user
believes that from the first idea
to full scale production has
been 3-4 months quicker by
using the standard. It also
offers benefits for OEMs and
system integrators.

Machine vision event proved to
be successful for all participants
The UKIVA Machine
Vision Conference and
Exhibition held in Milton
Keynes in May proved to be
even more popular than last
year’s inaugural event, with
attendance up 17% on 2017.
This time, 54 technical
seminars and two keynote
presentations were supported
by an exhibition which saw
56 of the world’s leading
suppliers of industrial vision
components systems and
services show their latest
developments. Presenters
and exhibitors were
impressed by the number of
visitors who were seeking
vision solutions for live
applications, making this
a real platform for business.
The two keynote
presentations covered
different applications of
autonomous vehicles.
Professor Tony Pipe, deputy
director at Bristol Robotics
Laboratory, UWE talked about
the Venturer autonomous
car project, while Henry
Harris-Burland discussed
the challenges faced by
his company (Starship
Technologies) in bringing its
advanced personal delivery
robots to market.
The day was designed
to provide something for
everyone, and presentations
ranged from delivering
a basic understanding of
vision technology to the
complexities of subjects such
as deep learning and machine
A vision guided robot on the Acrovision stand was handing drinks to visitors
learning. These second two
topics attracted the largest
audiences of the day.
One popular seminar was
presented by Allan Anderson
of ClearView Imaging.
It was entitled: ‘Vision Systems
Don’t Work!’ and came up with
seven pieces of the puzzle as
to why vision systems can fail,
and sometimes spectacularly.
He did point out that after
50 years of evolution, and
millions of systems deployed
across the world, it is true to
say that only a few systems fail.
He talked about the key
areas where failures most
frequently occur and offered
guidance on how these
failures or mistakes can be
avoided. He told delegates
to think about algorithms;
complexity; flexibility;
set up; acceptance; cost and
knowledge. “Vision systems
are devised by vision
engineers and so can be
pretty complex,” he said.
“Make sure you get buy in
from everyone at the company,
including those on the factory
floor, to make things work.”

Machinery Update to talk to three women about their experiences in manufacturing from different
perspectives to see if times were indeed, a-changin’

time to keep motivated and
#PressforProgress, says
the International Women’s
Day website. And so how is
engineering/manufacturing
faring in this whole debate?
Juliet Canney has worked in fmcg
manufacturing for over twenty years
Juliet Canney graduated
with a degree in Chemical
Engineering from The
University of Bradford in
1988 and joined the graduate
scheme at United Biscuits.
She was introduced to the
idea of engineering as a
career firstly by her father
and secondly by her female
physics teacher who had been
an engineer with Vickers.
“I was drawn to
manufacturing, specifically
fmcg, because of a fascination
with how stuff is made,”
she tells Machinery Update.
Canney’s first challenge in
making it into manufacturing
was getting an A level in
physics. “I was the only
girl in my mid-80s mixed
comprehensive school to
take the course, but once that
was out of the way, having a
few other girls around me on
my subsequent degree course
was a bonus,” she says.
From United Biscuits,
Canney moved to Campbell’s
Soup as plant manager before
being promoted to production
planning manager where
she was first introduced to
all-things MRP/ERP.
LOGISTICS AT CADBURY
She joined Cadbury in 1993
as logistics manager where
she says not letting the (male)
managers pull the wool over
her eyes was vital to getting
the factory service level up
and inventory down.
After several other roles,
Canney joined Reckitt
Benckiser (RB) as European
supply chain project
manager, working across
27 sales organisations and
15 factories in every corner of
Europe. “In my eight years
at RB, I had three children,
three lots of maternity leave
and went back to slightly
different jobs each time,
to the point where my role was
far removed from my first,”
she explains. This is when she
decided to concentrate on her
family for a while.
CAREER INITIATIVES
Canney witnessed many
changes over the 20 or so years
she spent in manufacturing
but she says that from the
female perspective, she
definitely thinks that postmaternity
leave career
planning and opportunities
need to improve. “I think
some industries such as
accounting have addressed
this and have definite post
career break recruitment
initiatives, but I am not sure
manufacturing has this in
place,” she says.
The current general
manager at Festo is Eliza
Rawlings, a chartered
engineer by profession,
with a degree in electronic
engineering and a masters
in management from Bristol
University. She has enjoyed
a 25-year career in the
engineering and technology
sector and thinks that
engineering needs to appeal
to both men and women
students equally in order
to maximise access to the
country’s talent pool.
“It can be done: look at

applicants now represent over
50% of university intake,”
she says. Unfortunately,
engineering is still very much
behind in making progress in
this area and we should look
to learn lessons from other
sectors, she says.
“There’s also an issue
around retention,” she
continues, “as engineering
loses too many of its brightest
people to other sectors – such
as law and financial.
ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES
“We have to get across
the message that in the
vast majority of cases,
engineering companies are
good employers and make
young people more aware of
the endless possibilities that
a career in engineering can
bring,” she asserts.
“In engineering, you
can do anything and there
are so many avenues to
follow.”

Flexible processing for
SVP pharma solutions
At ACHEMA 2018 in
June, Bosch presented
a system to prepare
small volume parenteral (SVP)
solutions in a quick, easy and
cost effective way that was
shown with the ALF 5000
filling and closing machine.
The modular designed
unit allows the system to be
expanded with additional
process vessels at any time,
and handles small ampoules
and injection bottles in batches
ranging from 15 to 250 litres.
The SVP250 LF processing
system on display included
both a preparation and a
storage vessel. Depending
on the desired volume,
these process vessels can
be expanded to four each,
in a range of different sizes.
“Moreover, the vessel’s conical
shape minimises product loss
during the emptying process,”
explains Dr John Medina,
sales director at the Bosch
subsidiary Pharmatec. “Given
the costly materials the system
handles, that translates into
a concrete financial benefit,”
he tells Machinery Update.

architecture allows
processing modules to be
easily and flexibly installed

to 3,800 exhibitors and 167,000
participants from more than 100
countries. The Frankfurt exhibition
bills itself as the global centre of
process industries and the event
reflected the positive trends seen in
chemicals and several other sectors.
“We see significant growth
in some exhibition fields such
as automation, pharmaceutical,

products that were demonstrated
throughout the five days.
The new BL A525 CW
labeller belongs to the
extensive BL A range
of versatile and reliable
carton tracking and labelling
machines from Marchesini

at ACHEMA 2018 also included
a high speed load cell.
After installing it on the
BL A420, this load cell has
also now been installed on
the 525 model for the first
time, thus boosting the unit’s
versatility and performance
even further, says the company.
The end result is a high-tech
machine capable of weighing,
serialising and labelling
cartons to give them their
unique identity, as requested
by current market demands.
On the BL A525 CW, the load
cell is fully integrated into the
step conveyance system and
can weigh each individual
carton at very high production
speeds. This system is much
more compact than the classic
solution (where the weighing
unit is positioned in line).

Several live demonstrations were seen on the Marchesini stand at the show
of the BL A525 CW, this unit
is able to identify the position
and weight of the individual
cartons at any time. If correct,
the product moves onto the

labelling and sealing and
the carton is transferred to
the machine downstream;
if they are not correct, the
carton does not move onto
the following phases but is
rejected according to the
‘Fail Safe’ logic.

sets the cartons at the correct
distance apart on the two
toothed belts that can be
adjusted according to the
length of the cartons.

Variable and serialised
data printed effectively
At this year’s ACHEMA,
Atlantic Zeiser
showcased how to
implement cost-efficient late
stage printing of complete
pharmaceutical labels for vials
with variable and serialised
data, achieving abrasion-proof
printing quality.
Using the digital high-speed
Digiline label printing system,
pharmaceutical companies
and contract packers can
replace older technologies.
Shortly before the
beginning of the trade show,
the company reported that two
well-known pharmaceutical
manufacturers decided to
switch to Digiline Label.
“These two orders once again
demonstrate the Digiline
Label’s versatility in fulfilling
a wide range of customer
requirements,” says Frank
Sablinski, director sales
pharma & packaging
solutions at Atlantic Zeiser.
“Thanks to the fully digital
printing technology, print
jobs can be loaded and started
quickly without requiring
mechanical changeovers.
The work station allows for safe and easy removal of any misprinted labels
That can save up to 60
minutes per print job, while
the running expenses
are more than 30% lower
compared with thermal
transfer printing,” he explains.
At any rate, the contact-free
OMEGA DoD UV inkjet printer
is the unit’s centrepiece.
It ensures the print quality on
various label materials such
as paper, PP, PE, and PVC.
Another benefit is that the
print is resistant to abrasion,
light, and solvents.
The downstream work
station allows users to
manually remove misprinted
labels, and replace them
with blank labels which are
about to be reprinted.
This way, there are no gaps
on the finished printed roll.
Thanks to the re-check
function, during which the
camera re-checks reworked
sections, operator errors are
virtually eliminated.

Automated pallet wrapper is
cost saving purchase for DIY
Antalis Packaging has
helped one of the
UK’s leading DIY
retailers eliminate over half
of its packaging waste and
cut costs by 60% after
recommending the distributor
install an automated pallet
wrapping machine.
Realising that its
packaging process was
proving increasingly
ineffective and costly, the
company in question, which
supplies home and garden
improvement products across
the UK, was looking for a new
method to simplify how goods
are contained on a pallet. The
original process involved the
use of heat shrink to contain
loads on to pallets, whereby
a shrink hood was placed
over a pallet and a flame gun
was used to shrink the film.
About 1,200 pallets were being
wrapped on a daily basis,
but with a very slow average
speed of just 4-5 minutes per
pallet. A speedier solution
was becoming a critical
requirement for the company.
hazards and risks
Early investigations also
uncovered a number of fire
hazards and health and
safety risks, with the pallet
shrink gun, in particular,
forcing employees to
repeatedly bend down and
also be at risk of burning
themselves. In addition,
with only one size of shrink
hood available, wastage
was high – making it clear
that to maintain a safe
and economical service,
a complete overhaul of the
packaging procedure was
needed by the company.
The DIY distributor called
on the help of the Antalis
Packaging team which
resulted in the installation of
four Lantech S300XT semiautomatic
pallet wrappers.
Packaging waste has been reduced by 75% which has resulted in cost savings for the DIY customer of 60%
At the heart of this approach
was speed and efficiency, as
production speeds of up to
30-40 pallets per hour was
offered by the equipment.
“The demonstration
stage was imperative, it’s
something we recommend
with all customers looking to
introduce a new packaging
solution on a larger scale,”
says Martin Styler, machinery
sales director for Antalis
Packaging. “It’s important to
see the machine in action but
to also engage with the people
who will be handling it, to
really grasp any challenges
that may arise.”
Alongside the practical
demonstrations, the team also
carried out a film audit and
film trials to ensure the best
stretch film was selected for
the pallet wrapper.
great improvements
Since introducing the
new system, the company
has witnessed significant
improvements in its plant.
In operation, pallets are
now taken to the wrap zone
where a top sheet is added to
the pallet and the wrapping
process is instigated remotely.
As a result, pallets are now
being wrapped at a speed
The demonstration stage was
an important part of the machine
installation in the DIY facility
that is 70% quicker than the
previous process.
Also, packaging waste has
been reduced by 75%,
resulting in cost savings for
the customer of over 60%.
In addition, the simplification
has removed the fire hazards
and the health and safety
issues for the operators.
“We are delighted to
have been able to deliver a
solution that provides not only
phenomenal cost savings and
process improvements, but it
also provides a safer working
environment for employees,”
says Styler. “The Lantech
S300XT has streamlined the
packaging procedures and
enhanced proficiency, helping
the company to continue to
deliver their products and
ultimately improve their
profitability.”

Fuji’s new box motion
Alpha 8 wrapper has
just been installed into
a water purification tablet
supplier to meet the need for
a larger pack size to overcome
any issues with safety for
young children.
The customer approached
Fuji’s UK distributor
Paramount Packaging as it
was looking for alternative
options to wrap its 3.25g
and 11.9g water purification
tablets. It wanted to continue
to use paper and aluminium
foil packaging but wanted
them to be hermetically
sealed and packed at speeds
of 200 a minute. In operation,
the Alpha 8 can produce up
to 400 a minute.
It also wanted the packs
to be larger than normal, so
they didn’t look like sweets
to children, which can be an
issue for some flow wrappers
but was overcome easily by
Fuji’s advanced film tracking
and tension control.
FAST HERMETIC SEALS
Paramount recommended
its new Alpha 8 wrapper to
achieve the hermetic seals
at the required speeds
and also, fully automated
product feeding with a
vibratory bowl feeder.
This feeder orientates the
tablets into a single-file line
to ensure a continuous stream
of product is fed onto the
in-line belt feeder.
In this way, products that
are touching or irregularly
spaced are automatically
synchronised in time with the
operation of the jaws and fed
onto the film.
The system consists of two
belts – a pre-feed and timing
conveyor – which can be
removed easily for cleaning.

Whitby Seafoods was
looking to increase capacity
with a third packaging line
and chose to install the tna
robag FX 3ci – a vertical, form,

This new line works
comfortably at 140 bags per

Checkweighers ensure
spuds comply at speed
To cope with compliance
issues for its frozen
potato processing
production lines operating at
higher speeds, Lamb Weston/
Meijer has retrofitted five new
Mettler Toledo checkweighers.
The conveyor speed of the
new equipment has been
synchronised to the higher
throughput rates, and can also
be adapted to accommodate
any further increase in
production which is planned
by the Dutch company by 2020.
And to continue to ensure
conformity, products need
to be reliably checked to
make sure they meet the
requirements of net content
laws for packaged products
and to ensure customer
satisfaction – as well as to
eliminate expensive product
giveaway. The automatic
checkweighers are installed
downstream of a multihead
weigher where Lamb Weston’s
French fries are portioned
before ultimately being packed
into 1kg bags.
The bags are then weighed,
with ‘bad’ products being
rejected by a pusher to enable
off-weight products to be
sorted out reliably.
To help this process, a light
barrier monitors whether
the rejection of underweight
or overweight products was
successful. If this is not the
case, a message is displayed
The 1kg bags are weighed and ‘bad’ products rejected by a special pusher
The plant processes potatoes into French fries and other speciality products
in the info section of the 15in
touchscreen terminal. An
immediate conveyor shutdown
and the activation of a
potential-free contact to warn
the production personnel
allows them to easily remove
‘bad products’ from the ‘good
products’ path and then feed
them back into the production
process in the end.
More than one hundred
employees at the Oosterbierum
plant of Lamb Weston ensure
that potatoes are processed
into high-quality pre-fried
frozen French fries and
other potato specialties.
The high-tech nature of the
manufacturing process makes
the company’s production
environment very complex, so
the checkweigher design was
adapted to this environment.
Due to the small amount of
space available, Lamb Weston
needed a checkweighing
solution that had a small
footprint and, at the same
time, was adapted to the
height dimensions of
upstream and downstream
machines. For instance,
the entire checkweighing
system has been designed
to a special height to match
the height of the customer’s
production line system.
And to further accommodate
space requirements, the
conveyor control system has
been positioned externally
with a separate control cabinet
including the weighing
terminal.
The Mettler Toledo
FreeWeigh.Net software
package also allows the
checkweighers to be used
in the integrated production
network for recording
statistical quality data.
The company’s entire
production process can thus
be traced and recorded on item
level as well as on batch level,
and the system facilitates an
accurate overview of current
production data.
In this way, Lamb Weston
covers the entire scope of
finished packaging and filling
process checking and can
react faster to any changes in
the production process.

Pumps help
hot sauce
accuracy
Germany-based Paradies Eis
is leveraging the benefits of
peristaltic pump technology
from Watson-Marlow Fluid
Technology Group (WMFTG) to
dose hot chocolate sauce into ice
cream. The company is using the
latest 530 peristaltic pumps and
tubing for the reliability that this
delicate task requires.
Further benefits delivered to
Paradies Eis include low pump
maintenance requirements,
excellent processing capabilities,
high levels of accuracy and easy
operation.
Chocolate has to be dosed at
a temperature of about 60deg C
into the ice cream, where the
liquid mass then hardens again.
At Paradies Eis, peristaltic pumps
are used for this task as without
valves, seals or moving parts in
the fluid path, peristaltic pumps
are ideal for operation in hygienic
environments, says WMFTG.
In use, the pumped media only
comes into contact with a food
quality tube. Moreover, media
is pumped very gently and with
extremely low shear forces,
so product quality is never
compromised. Peristaltic
pumps also offer high precision
and reproducibility, which
help maximise product
consistency, an important
consideration in ice cream
manufacture.
The Watson-Marlow 500
series runs quietly and evenly
and performs reliably with a high
degree of accuracy, according to
brand owner Axel Steen.

As well as grinders, Laska also manufactures a range of other processing kit
Multivac UK has
installed a Laska
super grinder into the
Addo Food Group enabling
the business to produce a
consistent, high-quality
minced meat in different
sizes for its chilled savoury
products. It utilises both fresh
and frozen types of meat.
The company produces
sausage rolls, pork pies,
hot pies, savoury eggs,
slices, and quiche across six
manufacturing sites throughout
the UK and required a new
machine to mince frozen and
fresh meats to a high quality.
The machine needed to
ensure product consistency,
organoleptic delivery and
flexibility of the meats.

Specialist at Multivac UK Liam
Smith visited the Spalding
Bakery manufacturing site,
he discovered the number one
consideration for the machine
was enhancing product
quality. The machine selected
was therefore the Laska WWB
200 super grinder.
This grinder has a hopper
size of 550 litres and a 200mm
grinding hole plate diameter.
The unit offered the Addo
Food Group the opportunity
to increase the quality of the
product and also the ability to
grind meat down to 3mm from
a frozen block at -25deg C in
one process.
double seal system
Another key feature of the unit
is the design of the double
sealing system, which enables
separation of product from
mechanical parts, even in
the event of excessive wear
or mechanical failure.
This results in reduced risk
of contamination.
The quality within the
Laska system is also vastly
improved due to the angular
feed and working system, says
Multivac. The angular design
ensures only the optimum
amount is presented to the
grind plates at any time to
ensure maximum quality
and minimum product stress
and heat rise. These features
were key to the success of
the trial and ultimately,
the machine purchase for

Handling and conveying solution
is saving time and product losses
The Kidlington site of
Essentra Components
(EC) has worked with
UPM Conveyors on an ongoing
component capture project
that has seen a customised
solution being installed and
commissioned this year.
The project began last
autumn and EC Kidlington
production engineers were
joined by their counterparts
at UPM to conduct root cause
analysis. Together, they
identified several ‘loss zones’
where components were
escaping from either poorly
designed component chutes,
conveyors which were unfit
for purpose, or overriding
discharge points due to static
from the moulding process.
These components were
scrapped due to possible
contamination from landing
on the floor, and therefore
ultimately causing machines
to overrun.
Due to the variety of
products produced (Essentra
offer over 35,000) it was
necessary for UPM to evaluate
different belt types and flight

combinations to accommodate
all possible solutions. However,
the biggest challenge was
the integration and mating
systems for the conveyor,
component chute and
anti-static equipment,
explains UPM’s Roy Fowler.
“Surprisingly, there are very
few suppliers that offer all
three solutions, or are willing
to modify standard equipment
to suit customer requirements
whilst working with suppliers
of the other key components,”
he told Machinery Update.
R&D and then trials have
taken about six months and
involved EC and UPM also
working with Fraser anti-static
solutions as well as fabricator
TDI Solutions.
The resulting solution now
includes the integration of a
custom designed chute using
a dock designed by UPM’s
Sean Martin, and deposits all
components onto the centre of
customised UPM swan necked
conveyors. At discharge
point, Fraser de-ionisation
equipment removes all static
from the components, and
ensures a clean drop to the
inspection tables.
“We are lucky enough to be
playing a part in a period of
change and development, and
working with colleagues such
as those from UPM, who have
the same energy for change as
ourselves, enables significant
progress,” comments Chris
Butler, process development
manager at EC Kidlington.
“Their attitude towards
delivery, safety and the open
exchange of ideas matches our
own, and is a key component
in driving essential factory
improvements,” he says.

VFFS machine meets customer
demand for a biltong producer
Intamac Packaging Systems
has installed a vertical
form, fill and seal (VFFS)
machine at Simply African
Foods to keep up with the
growing demand for its range
of biltong products.
The machine is an
IPS420E-SS with integrated
10 head multi-head which is
specially designed to pack
dried goods for the snack food
industry.
Simply African Foods was
established in 2002 by Donald
Dodson, who discovered that
traditional South African food
was not produced to a high
standard in the UK. Today, and
with orders from supermarkets
across the UK, the company has
had to speed up its production.
It was on a cold Christmas Eve
in 2017, at a Farmer’s Market in
Petersfield, that the family-firm
first learnt about Intamac and
its VFFS pouch machine.
While sampling some chilli
biltong, Fran Bowes of Intamac
realised that the company
needed to drastically increase
its productivity.
The driving force behind
Purchasing the machine has been a turning point for the family owned business
Simply African Foods is
Donald’s son Neil who
has continued to grow the
business. Neil realised that
the opportunities were there
to move onto the next level,
from hand-packing to a fully
automated system, and he
believes that purchasing the
machine is a turning point for
the company.
“We were initially
concerned about the outlay on
a packaging machine but the
Intamac machinery is compact
and great value,” he says.
“We’ve been able to remain
in our current premises, train
our great team to use the new
machinery and worked closely
with Intamac to create
a bespoke solution.”
The machine has also
enabled a number of cost
savings to be made including
15% on packaging costs
over the coming year.
“We have been able to increase
one of our key contracts from
packing 700 packs a week to
9,700 packs, and this is just
the beginning,” he continues.
“We have more buying power
with our suppliers, in particular
for meat and packaging,
because we are producing so
much more product to fulfil
the new contracts that we
have won since purchasing
the automatic machine.”
Tom Poston, sales executive
for Intamac, understood the
food company’s requirements
from the offset. “When we first
met with Neil we knew that
he was our perfect customer,”
he says. “We looked at their
current production and what
they wanted to achieve in the
future and recommended the
IPS420E-SS as the perfect
solution for them.”

Feature: Automation, robotics and vision
Will Brexit bring a
change in attitudes
to automation?
There cannot be many
people who wouldn’t
mind a day without
hearing anything about
Brexit, especially as it
is usually doom and gloom, but
it seems that one positive coming
out of the whole saga is a new
willingness in some UK quarters
to invest in automation, robotics
and vision systems.
And if this 40-odd page feature
is anything to go by…new
technology, new ways of working,
new products, new installations
and new safety implications are
just some of the topics covered…
then the future is bright!
If the referendum to leave Europe
put many investment projects
on hold, post Brexit the picture
was much rosier at the end of last
year for automation and robotics
company CKF Systems. “There
is clearly a change in attitude,
resulting from Brexit, with
manufacturers more willing to
look within the UK for engineering
expertise to support their
investment projects,” explains
Kevin Staines, sales director at
the company. “There is also
a growing realisation that elevated
cost pressures, including wages
and labour scarcity are here for
the long haul.”
RESISTANT TO ANY CHANGES
He believes that this is encouraging
more businesses to invest in
automation, including SMEs
who had previously been resistant
to this type of change.
Although widely embraced by
consumers, deployment of digital
technologies in industrial settings,
particularly in multi-site food
factories has been slower
to materialise, yet things are
starting to shift, according to
Phil Brown, managing director
of metal detector company
Fortress Technology.
Watching Industry 4.0 gain
traction, Brown believes that we
become paralysed by technology
Roadmap to
connectivity
It’s tricky for
many SMEs to
negotiate a
path towards
a connected way
of working but
it has to be
done to stay
competitive
options, and as a result, data
integration projects can stretch
on for months, years, or never
reach a conclusion. “In such
a fast moving market like food,
the impact on competitiveness
could be immense,” he says.
And although there is renewed
optimism across the sector,
Mark Gray from Universal Robots
thinks the adoption of collaborative
robots, the so-called cobot, is
gaining acceptance in UK industry
very slowly. In many ways, he says,
a cobot is like a new colleague –
a colleague that loyally takes on
the tasks that most people find
trivial and physically debilitating.
Industry 4.0 is evolution
not revolution and as such,
can be scaled to suit demands
“The manager is the industrial
worker who has an overview
of where the cobot should be as
part of manufacturing,” he says.
Historically, traditional robots
have not always brought the
flexibility required by companies
in meeting their ever-changing
customer demands but, says James
Bedford of Multivac UK, today
this can be overcome with a
simple set of new grippers
so that production is not lost.
Another interesting point made
during this feature is the fact
that robotics and automation
is a fantastic hook in attracting
young people, dubbed the xbox
generation, to the manufacturing
sector. Tech-savvy youngsters are
attracted to work for companies
that are tech-savvy themselves,
and not resistant to new ways
of working.
We hope you find the feature,
useful in shaping your future.

is always dependent on new model

robot sales results.

EDUCATION PURCHASES
One other interesting point from
the statistics is the continuing
growth in sales to the education
sector. We are seeing an increasing
number of universities and colleges
commencing new courses covering
robotics and they are purchasing
equipment to provide training to
the students. This is a very positive
step towards addressing the skills

adoption of automation and
robotics could contribute over
£180bn to UK manufacturing
over the next ten years.
Although the proposals of the
Made Smarter report were not
included in the Government’s
Industrial Strategy White Paper
(published in November last
year), the Chancellor has recently
announced support for the
National Digitalisation Adoption
programme with a £20 million
investment in a digitalisation
adoption pilot to be based in
the North West.
The increased adoption of
automation and robotics could
contribute £180bn to UK plc
In parallel with the Made
Smarter Review, the food and
drink sector has also been
developing its own Sector Deal
which includes the need to adopt
greater levels of automation to
address the productivity challenge.
This is also progressing with the
recent formation of a Food and
Drink Sector Council.
There is therefore increasing
awareness and support for the need
to increase the adoption of robot
automation within all sectors of
UK manufacturing. This, coupled
with the growing interest within
the actual businesses, means it
is a very interesting time to be
involved in robotics. “We have
the opportunity to fundamentally
change the productivity of
UK manufacturing to provide
a positive future,” asserts Wilson.

plastics in consumer goods
packaging could lead to an
increased use of alternative
materials such as cardboard,
glass and aluminium foil which will
change some of the processing parameters
used throughout industry. Here, UKIVA
chairman Paul Wilson outlines how a
multitude of industrial imaging techniques
can help the packaging industry towards
a greener environment.
THE RETURN OF THE MILK BOTTLE
Traditional milk delivery in glass milk
bottles is making a comeback in Central
London and a major UK dairy in the
capital is investing in new equipment to
keep up with the trend. Glass bottles are
returned to the milkman and taken back
to the dairy where they are thoroughly
washed and then inspected with a high
quality vision system before moving to the
filling lines. Bottles are expected to make
on average seven trips before becoming
too damaged or worn for further re-use.
However, since glass can be endlessly
reprocessed with no loss of quality,
unusable bottles can then be sent away
for recycling. The inspection system
features four cameras to check the
quality of the bottle itself and for possible
contaminants. The latter includes dirt or
debris not completely removed during the
washing process, foreign bodies entering
the bottles after the washer and glass
fragments. The neck finish, side walls and
base of the bottles are also inspected as
well as the two concentric wear rings that
arise from the bottles pushing against
each other in production.
A special handling system carries the
bottle over the base inspection camera.
A rejection system removes any failed
bottles before filling. The control system
provides a full set of production data
including history for number of bottles
processed, the number of rejects, and
the reasons for rejection. The dairy has
four filling lines each operating at 24,000
bottles per hour and the first inspection
system has already been installed.
RECYCLING
Effective recycling of plastics could
significantly reduce the amount of plastics
sent to landfill and increase the amount
that is recycled. Imaging techniques
such as multispectral and hyperspectral
imaging could be used at recycling
centres to sort different types of plastics
according to their chemical composition.
Relatively few recycling facilities utilise
this technology at present, but with
systems reducing in price and offering
real-time sorting capabilities, there is the
potential for improved sorting.
BOTTLED BEERS
Beer is also frequently supplied in glass
bottles. High speed imaging can be used
to check fill levels, bottle cap sealing
and the correct position of the label.
For example, 3D inspection can be used
to check that metal caps are tightly sealed
on beer bottles packed in crates.
The system uses the laser triangulation
principle to check the presence and
alignment of each cap since the crown
caps on these bottles do not have a

Vision is used across a range of industries and technologies to help deliver high quality
measurable cap curve. If a cap is askew
or missing, the whole crate is rejected
and the defective bottle exchanged for
a new one.
With the sensor aligned vertically over
the crate, the distance of the crown cap to
the sensor is measured and evaluated at
defined positions in the image. The sensor
also detects if entire bottles are missing.
Other errors can also be detected, such
as bottles jutting further out of the crate
compared to the others, due, for example,
to broken glass under the bottle.
Beer bottles are also often packed
in cardboard cartons or boxes.
A household name beer brand has
recently installed a turnkey system
using LWIR (thermal) and monochrome
imaging for the inspection of the
integrity of cartons as they emerge from
the cartoning machine. Hot melt glue
is applied to the flaps of the boxes and
these are then folded to stick to the sides
of the box to complete the assembly.
By ensuring that the glue is the right
temperature, and has been applied to
the correct areas in the desired quantity,
the manufacturer can be certain that
the boxes are safe to be moved ready for
subsequent transport.
The LWIR camera provides a focused
readout of the temperature of the glue
and that it is in the right place, by
imaging through the cardboard material
of the box. The monochrome camera
checks that the flaps have been properly
formed and that the box is the correct
shape. In the event of a failure, the line
is automatically stopped and additional
glue can be applied manually.
ALUMINIUM CONTAINERS USED
FOR PET FOOD
Aluminium foil is widely used in
containers for ready meals, takeaways
and premium pet foods. All aluminium
is endlessly recyclable, although
aluminium foil is a different alloy to cans
and is usually recycled separately with
other aluminium scraps to make cast
items such as engine components.
A producer of thin-walled aluminium
containers used for packaging pet
food and other foodstuffs is now using
embedded machine vision solutions to
help control the quality of each container.
Four pet food containers are stamped
out from rolls of high quality aluminium
foil at a rate of 480 containers per minute.
These are then blown out onto a conveyor
and transported to modular built-in
inspection and stacking machines.
Aluminium is relatively expensive, so
the container walls must be as thin as
possible, but reduced material thickness
increases the risk of hole formation
during the forming process.
Every container is inspected using
machine vision and defective ones
removed before they leave the factory.
Machine vision also helps identify any
trends in defect formation. Four parallel
lines are equipped with offset inspection
stations. Each features a camera mounted
below the transport track to inspect the
containers using transmitted light from
customised LED illumination.
High quality images, produced at
a rate of 120 images a minute per track,
are evaluated with the results transferred
to the discharge station for removal of
defective containers and subsequent
stacking of ‘good’ containers.

Vision systems are
meeting modern
producer demands
The technical
development of
vision systems has
seen them grow
from performing
a function of brand protection to
a more encompassing role related
to productivity and increasing
overall equipment effectiveness,”
says Joanna Mooberry, product
inspection specialist with
Mettler-Toledo.
This rapid evolution is due
largely to developments in
inspection software, which makes
verification of packaging integrity,
labels, codes, fill levels and more
as simple and intuitive as possible.
Today, multiple inspection criteria
can be configured at the touch of
a button, including cap skew, lot/
code, neck/thread inspection and
label position.
For oriented product packs,
the operator can configure the
software to set front and back label
inspections, to ensure that nothing
is ever missed.
Nevertheless, the complexities
of modern manufacturing and
continuing innovations in
packaging design mean there are
always new challenges to meet.
One example is the inspection of
inkjet-printed labels and markings.
Industrial vision systems have
difficulty in accurately reading such
print, at speed, in high-throughput
production environments.
Vibrations on production lines and
uneven print surfaces can easily
make this type of print distorted
Vision inspection software is ensuring

Technical
advances have
given modern
vision systems
a much more
encompassing
role related
to productivity
and difficult to interpret. Mettler-
Toledo has developed its vision
inspection software to compensate
for these distortions, making checks
on dot matrix information far more
accurate, says Mooberry.
The CIVCore Dot Print Tool1
achieves greater accuracy by
combining several key capabilities.
Firstly, the system is configured
to detect characters in a range
of sizes and can be programmed
to check dates, date ranges,
and text sequences. It can cope
with variable surfaces and is
optimised, via its programming,
to inspect a variety of materials
that may have convex, concave,
rough or uneven surfaces.
This tool also features automatic
orientation detection, so it can read
the inkjet print whether or not it is
presented the right way up.
A final guarantee of accuracy is
the software’s ability to detect each
individual character string.
This is particularly important
when characters may be touching,
or blurred due to print quality.
Of course, innovations like
the Dot Print Tool cannot be applied
at the expense of production. The
software therefore has multi-line
reading capabilities that allows
it to quickly process images and
keep up with rapid production
speeds. This software innovation
means that packing lines can
automatically reject any misprints
within the manufacturing facility
and rework the products onsite,
eliminating any recalls that might
otherwise have occurred.
To conclude, modular design
and ease of programming
combine to make vision systems
flexible enough to meet rapidly
changing requirements in modern
manufacturing facilities. Moreover,
product inspection equipment
manufacturers like Mettler-Toledo
are committed to meeting new
challenges with solutions that are

Salmon plant is
slaughtering fish
more humanely
Much has been written
about vision systems
being an enabling
technology for
robotics but not many
would have thought that such
collaboration would lead to quicker
and safer fish slaughtering! But this
is exactly the project that Scorpion
Vision has been working on in
trying to make a salmon processing
line in Norway both more humane
and carried out by robots rather
than humans.
“The fish project demanded
multiple scenarios to deliver the
high flexibility required and
the application is the latest to
benefit from real time 3D machine
vision,” says Paul Wilson, managing
director of Scorpion Vision.
The challenge for the Scorpion
Vision team was to handle a live,
unique product at 4,800 each
hour. The overriding concern of
the fish company was to make the
slaughtering process as quick and
accurate as possible, while also
taking away the human element.
Previously, workers would kill the
salmon with a knife, hoping to
get the blade in the best, most
humane position.
Now, the vision system ensures
that the robot knows exactly where
to place the insertion device.
In operation, the penetration area
is just 15sq mm, and although the
fish are anaesthetised, they may
still be be moving. This is why
the accuracy is so vital and why
the smart vision system has just
100 milliseconds to locate this
penetration point.
Manpower has reduced considerably
Vision helps
fish process
Today, the vision
system ensures
that the robot
knows exactly
where to place
the insertion
device into
the salmon
The system was also developed
to comply with new Human Safety
Environment regulations. Working
in the plant is extremely hard
and the vison guided robots have
reduced the reliance on manpower
by between 85 and 95%. It has also,
of course, increased throughput,
reduced costs, and has paid for
itself in under a year.
The system itself comprises
one or two Flexpicker robots from
ABB Robotics which includes
the Scorpion robot program.
This program offers real-time
tracking and communication.
Also included is a Scorpion 3D
Stinger camera with software
and profile for fish location. Less
tastefully, there is also an insertion
device for sticking the salmon.
The real-time 3D model locates
up to ten fish under the camera
simultaneously. It then segments
the fish in 3D, measuring shape
and height as well as the location
of the head. A 3D camera delivers
a high quality image to gauge
the height of the fish, while a 2D
image determines the texture
of the salmon so the system can
determine which way the fish is
lying on the conveyor.
This application sees fish being
killed by robots for the first time,
and this subject was covered in a
presentation at the Machine Vision
Conference in June.
“It may not be for the squeamish
but it is a very humane way to
dispatch fish, as the combination
of powerful 3D machine vision
and superfast robots means that
the exact knife penetration point
is found with no error,” explains
Scorpion’s Wilson.

Pilz says the new
generation of robots,
safe sensors and
control systems,
along with the new
ISO/TS 15066 standard, offer
practicable ways towards
safe collaboration between
humans and robots.
Current developments in
the field of robot applications
are characterised by the desire
to allow man and machine
to work as closely as possible
with one another. Instead of
man and machine cooperating
by means of defined static
transfer points, both partners
collaborate in a shared
workspace and are deployed
together on a flexible basis
such that they can exploit
their respective strengths.
Collaborative robots,
or cobots, are intended to
“give humans a hand” with
physically burdensome or
monotonous tasks. In humanrobot
collaborations (HRCs)
like this, the workspaces
of humans and robots
overlap both spatially and
chronologically. The most
conspicuous difference
between ‘classic’, enclosed
robot applications and
human-robot collaboration
is that collisions between
machines and humans are
a real possibility.
This, of course, brings with
it additional challenges as
they must not be allowed to
result in any injuries.
Despite the new cobots,
the following still applies:
robots cannot provide safety
on their own. There are no
safe robots; there are only
safe robot applications.
Safety results from the
interaction of normative
boundary conditions, the risk
analysis that is based on it,
the selection of a robot with
the corresponding safety
functions and the matching
additional safety components,
and finally from validation.
This means that the recently
published ISO/TS 15066

Safety for
a cobot time
Separate working areas between man and machine are
no longer guaranteed so safe collaboration is the norm
Robots, plays a key role.
This technical specification
makes it possible to
implement safe human-robot
collaborations following
appropriate validation.
Four types of collaboration
are described in ISO/TS 15066
as protection principles:
• Safety-rated monitored stop
• Hand guiding
• Speed and separation
monitoring
• Power and force limiting.
When implementing a safe
HRC, system integrators
can choose one of these
‘types of collaboration’ or
a combination of them for
their application.
The Annex to Technical
Specification ISO/TS 15066
describes a body model.
It provides information for
each part of the body
(for example, on the head,
There are no safe robots, there
are only safe robot applications
the hand, the arm or the leg)
about the respective collision
limit values. If the application
remains between these limits
when a human encounters a
robot, then it is compliant.
In practice, these pain
threshold values are used to
validate a safe HRC and form
the basis for implementing the
application with ‘power and
force limiting’.
In practice, it has been
found that HRCs can often be
achieved by combining ‘speed
and separation monitoring’
and ‘power and force limiting’.
Indeed, Pilz has developed
a collision measuring device

www.machineryupdate.co.uk JULY/AUGUST2018 MACHINERY UPDATE 47
PROBms to measure forces
and speeds. Equipped with
springs and appropriate
sensors, the device can record
precisely the forces generated
in a collision with a robot,
and then evaluate them in
software and compare them
with the specifications from
ISO/TS 15066.
The challenge in the basic
‘risk assessment’ for robot
applications is that the
boundaries between separate
working areas for man and
machine have ceased to
exist. As well as the hazards
presented by a robot, the
human’s movements need to
be taken into consideration.
But they are not always
calculable in terms of speed,
reflexes or the sudden arrival
of another person.
Then follow the “safety
concept” and “safety design”
steps, which cover the ‘human
element’ as well as selection
of the correct components.
These are usually a
combination of intelligent
sensors that are interlinked,
and control systems that
make the necessary dynamic
working processes possible
in the first place. The selected
safety measures are then
documented and implemented
in the “system integration”
step. This is followed by
“validation”, when the
previous steps are scrutinised
once again.
When supplying in to
Europe, manufacturers of
robot applications are then
subject to the principle that,
by law, they must complete
the assessment procedure
with CE marking of the
robot application.

orld’s Finest Chocolate is a
Chicago-based chocolate
company whose chocolate
bars have been used for
fund raising efforts by
schools and other organisations since
1949. And because its customer base
is rarely retailers but more likely to be
schools, churches, clubs and other
organisations, orders come through
in a huge variety of formats.
To accommodate these customer needs,
the company has installed a highly
automated solution that does away with
manual loading and older-technology
machine loading of its work in process
(WIP) corrugated totes. Robotic loading
of custom-made and reusable plastic
WIP totes are now the order of the day.
Also new is the automatic removal of
primary packs from these plastic totes
and their placement into variety packs.
Like the upstream tote-loading robotics,
the placement of individual packs into
corrugated variety packs is completed
on a system from Cama.
At the plant, six Cama IT 285 systems
load primary packs into reusable plastic
WIP totes that are taken to a Cama IG 270
system that stretches a total of nearly
14 metres. In the Cama IG 270 are 13
delta-style robots.
Orders are placed in a huge number of formats
The first ten robots pick primary packs
out of the totes and place them into a
dual-lane flighted conveyor running
down the centre of the Cama IG 270.
At the end of this machine are three
delta-style robots that pick primary packs
out of the dual-lane flighted conveyor and
In variety packs,
all five flavours had to

top row of the cases
place them into corrugated cases.
In operation, one of the six Cama IT 285
robotic tote loading systems is loading
$1 bars. In this case, bars exiting the
flow wrapper are fed by an infeed belt at
400 bars a minute. Each bar is fed into
a flighted carrier on a Cama race track
conveyor running off at a right angle.
As soon as 24 bars are all in their flights,
that carrier is indexed into a pick station
and a second carrier on the Cama race
track conveyor begins collecting the next
batch of 24 bars. Meanwhile, a robotic
tool uses vacuum suction cups to pick
24 bars and then load two layers of bars
into plastic totes, 12 in one tote and 12 in
the other.
AUTOMATIC TOTE INDEXING
When 16 layers are in each tote, it
automatically indexes out to a station
where an operator can place it on a pallet.
The Cama robot, however, doesn’t wait for
two new totes to occupy the loading station.
Instead, it begins filling two totes right
beside the two that have just been filled.
Meanwhile, empty totes move
automatically into position so that they
are ready when it’s time for them to
be loaded.
In total, the company runs 23 different
combinations of primary packs that have

to be handled. Also, if it is a variety pack
being produced, all five flavours have to
be facing upwards on the top row when
the case is opened.
Cama says most of its delta-style
systems like this load directly from
a Cama race track or vision conveyor
belt into a case or carton, but here each
product variety has to be visible on every
layer. The only way to achieve that is to
first create the sequences of all flavours
with the first ten robots and then use the
last three robots to pick and place each
layer into the cases.
Interestingly, no vision system is
needed to send pack location information
to the robotic pickers as all necessary
location information is in each recipe’s
software program. So each of the ten toteunloading
robots knows precisely which
flight it needs to put an item into and the
three case-loading robots know precisely
which flight they need to pick from
each time.
Because so many varieties of primary

packs – not just bars in three sizes but

in the dual-lane conveyor have to be

Empty plastic totes drop onto a
conveyor belt beneath the Cama IG 270
and are conveyed to a station where they
are manually palletised. These pallets
are then positioned next to one of the six
Cama tote loaders, and an operator loads
them into the tote loader as needed.

Machine vision is
a great way to ‘see’
defects in produce
Many parameters and
defects need to be
considered in grading
fruit and vegetables,
especially when
automating the inspection process.
These include discolouration,
ripeness, size, shape, bruising,
mould, pests and diseases.
Colour imaging, 3D imaging and
image processing are important in
measuring external characteristics
of the produce such as colour,
size and shape, but NIR imaging
and the newer technique of
hyperspectral imaging can be used
to identify sub-surface defects
such as bruising or diseases at an
early stage before they manifest
themselves on the surface, says
Rob Webb of Stemmer Imaging.
TARGET COLOUR RANGES
High-end supermarkets favour
produce with target colour ranges/
shades and are willing to pay more
for it. Line scan colour imaging,
where an image is built up line
by line as the produce passes in
front of the camera, can help to
automatically detect the produce’s
colour and sort it at very high
speeds. Colour measurement
can also be used in ripeness
assessment. Supermarkets also
set size requirements and by only
harvesting at the right times,
farmers can ensure that they have
the highest yield. 3D laser scanning
of produce in the field helps locate
the position and size of the produce
to determine what should be picked
(and when), passing the location
of each acceptable item onto an
automated robotic picking system.
Separating ‘misshapen’ fruit and
vegetables is also important.
All produce has some natural
variation in shape and the vision
system needs to take this into
account with its grading process.

It is also important to
recognise early signs of pests
and diseases in crops to be able
to deal with the problem quickly.
Hyperspectral imaging combines
NIR imaging spectroscopy to
allow the identification of defects
on the basis of their chemical
composition. This can be useful
to identify problems such as sugar

New vision-guided
robots will become
future child’s play
Neil Sandhu, Sick’s UK
product manager for
imaging & ranging
believes setting a
robot to work on the
repeatable, relentless tasks that
no-one else wants to do, will simply
become child’s play in the future.
Perhaps, like me, you have
nostalgic childhood memories of
playing ‘pick up sticks’ when stuck
indoors on long rainy afternoons
in the school holidays, he says.
You may even remember ‘Jack
Straws’, a version of the game
where you had to pick up mini
plastic spades, tools, crutches and
swords from a pile, one at a time,
using a tiny metal hook.
Even quite a small child has
the keen eyesight and dexterity
to remove the uppermost piece
from a pile of randomly arranged
objects without disturbing any
of the others.
You might think that this
natural human talent would be
the ultimate task for a robot to
match. Certainly, it would take
a great deal of money, programming
complexity and sophisticated,
heavyweight hardware to try
to replicate it. But then, ask the
human to repeat that task again
and again, without a break,
24-hours a day and the robot might
start to get the upper hand.
SYMBIOTIC DEVELOPMENT
Vision and robotics technologies
have always developed
symbiotically. The latest advances
have brought us lightweight and
user-friendly collaborative robots,
or cobots – affordable, easyset-up
articulated ‘arms’ that can
be deployed and re-deployed on
multiple applications without

‘smart’ devices onto
which vision functionality can
be downloaded – just like a mobile
phone app – without the user
having to do any development.

what packaging machinery
manufacturer Schubert is
now offering to its customers.
With GRIPS.world, Schubert
is providing its customers with
a new digital platform that it says,
will significantly improve service
and system availability. With the
GRIPS.world customer portal, all
TLM machines from Schubert are
now ready to connect to this digital
platform upon customer request.
In the mid-term, it will open up
new opportunities for preventive

The GRIPS.world customer portal
is the platform for operators of
Schubert packaging machines to
gather together all the important
functions for monitoring and
documenting machine data.
It utilises a single user interface
and also structures collaboration
with Schubert in a simpler way.

3D IMAGES OF MACHINERY
Every Schubert machine built
since 2004 has included an
electronic service module, or ESM,
which gives machine users
a three-dimensional image of their
specific machine, taken directly
from the CAD data. The ESM can
disassemble a packaging machine
on screen into all its individual
parts, thereby accurately
identifying each of its assemblies
and components. This allows any
spare parts that are needed to be
easily identified and placed directly
into a digital shopping basket.
If maintenance or repairs are
required, the ESM can be called up,
for example, on the programming
device or another PC directly at the
affected system. The areas included
in the module, such as spare
parts catalogue, wiring diagrams,
operating instructions, as well as
an optional repair manual and
detailed assembly descriptions,
contain all the information
required for machine maintenance.
Another important element of
GRIPS.world will be the machine’s
digital twin. This is a threedimensional

food sector reality
Along with a shift towards
personalised products
and packaging, trends
in food marketing
are driving demand
for fresh, additive-free foods
that maintain their nutritional
properties all the way from
preparation and conservation
to packaging, storage and
consumption, says Stephen
Ratcliffe, marketing manager
for the UK & Ireland at B&R
Automation.
One of the biggest challenges
facing machine builders for
today’s food, beverage and
pharmaceutical industries is
finding ways to make equipment
located near or in direct contact
with the products easier to clean
and sanitise. This means avoiding
powder and dust traps as well
as mechanical elements such as
chains, which require long planned
stops for maintenance and cleaning.
Aside from the obvious impact on
product quality and health and
safety, components that can’t be
cleaned well will eventually slow
down the machine’s performance.
NEW FLEXIBLE TRANSPORT
Responding to these trends
requires highly adaptive
manufacturing systems, while
at the same time maintaining an
hygienic processing environment
to prevent microbial, chemical
and physical contamination.
“Moving products dynamically
through environmentally
controlled areas and machines
calls for a new generation of
flexible transport systems,”
he says. Such a system must offer
a strictly food-grade design along
with independent shuttles that
allow for maximum customisation
of product, packaging and labelling.
B&R’s new flexible transport
system is called ACOPOStrak, and
it is designed to meet the stringent
hygienic requirements for the
processing and primary packaging
of foods and pharmaceuticals.

Technology is for
life, so Lenze says
choose carefully
Application manager
at Lenze Mark Turner
believes machine
builders and equipment
operators need to
consider the implications of their
technology choices over the full
lifecycle of their machines.
“Motors, actuators and control
systems are the frontline workers of
advanced industrial automation,”
he says, “and the right choice
of technologies can determine
the success or failure of a machine.”
But as customers demand higher
productivity, greater flexibility and
lower overall costs, hardware and
software specifications are only
part of the story.
Here are some key questions to
ask when selecting an automation
technology partner.
1. Can you support me through
the full project lifecycle?
Does your chosen provider have
the capabilities and willingness
to work alongside you through the
complete project, from initial idea
to in-service support? Much of the
ultimate performance – and cost –
of a machine is determined at the
concept stage, for example.
The best providers are happy
to sit down with their customers
and work with them to identify
opportunities to maximise
value. They can bring ideas and
suggestions to every aspect of
an automation project, from
the small details that make a
decisive difference to operating
performance and efficiency, to
the development of entirely new
machine designs.
2. Can you offer the right
technology for my application?
Is the technology on offer the
right one for your application?
System providers may want you
to use technologies that earn them
more, but sometimes the simplest
appropriate solution is the best.
Take servo drives as an example.
They work brilliantly in highly
dynamic, high speed motion
applications. But the increasing

capability of conventional motors
and drives makes them the right
choice for a large number of motion
applications, at significantly lower
cost. High frequency 80 or 120Hz
motors and drives, for example,
offer a speed range up to five times
wider than 60Hz units. Modern
drives also have sophisticated
built-in control capabilities.
3. Can you provide a robust,
easy-to-use development
environment?
Does your chosen provider
leave you to navigate software
development unaided, or can
it provide application-focussed
tools and templates that mean
you don’t have to waste time
reinventing the wheel?
Machines are becoming
smarter and more complex, but
users want simple operation
While every machine is different,
most rely on a combination of
common functions, from feeding,
unwinding and sealing on
packaging lines to robot control.
The best automation
development environments provide
ready-made and tested modules
that handle these kinds of basic
machine functions.
4. Are you going to be ready
for Industry 4.0?
The Industrial Internet of Things is
already reshaping manufacturing.
Advanced communication and
analytical technologies create
opportunities for end users and
machine builders alike, but for
maximum effectiveness, those
technologies need to be built into
machines, not bolted on.
5. Can you deliver?
You need to be sure your provider
has the manufacturing and
distribution capabilities to meet
your timescales.

A vacuum pick-up
head has overcome
several challenges
When vacuum
handling systems
company Simmatic
was approached
by motion control
specialist CR Solutions with a
request to develop a vacuum
pick-up head for a robot-based pick
and place machine, the application
sounded straightforward.
The head, mounted on the end
of the robot arm, simply had to
pick up five small boxes at a time
from an infeed conveyor and then,
after the arm had moved to the
appropriate location, deposit them
within a shipping carton.
As is so often the case, however,
the devil was in the detail, and
Simmatic had to overcome multiple
challenges on the way to devising
a successful solution.
The pick and place machine
was required to handle different
box sizes with varying heights.
All the boxes were small – no
more than 100mm per side – and
light in weight. The boxes were
shrinkwrapped but, because of
the fragile contents, an over tight
shrink wrap could not be used.
This meant that the wrap film
had seams and tended to form
bubbles, which made it more
difficult to lift the boxes reliably.
A key requirement was that the
pick-up head, complete with its
associated vacuum generator, had
to be small enough to fit inside the
shipping carton. The head also
had to be designed so that the
boxes could be placed right into
the corners of the deep shipping
carton, and there had to be no risk
that the head would damage the
carton in the process.
Products are packed in 20 sizes of box
Picking all
the boxes…
As the products
weren’t wrapped
tightly, the new
system had to
cope with the
resulting seams
which tended to
form bubbles
Simmatic carried out extensive
trials with sample boxes to devise
the most convenient, reliable and
cost-effective solution and its
engineers trialled an 80 x 500mm
lifting head, fitted with 21 lifting
cups arranged in three rows of
seven. Each cup was 15mm in
diameter, and was fitted with long
bellows to help accommodate
the varying heights and irregular
surface of the boxes.
GENERATOR IS COMPACT
The head was equipped with a
multistage vacuum generator,
powered by compressed air.
This compact device helped to
satisfy the requirement for a
head that would fit within the
shipping carton and, since it
has no moving parts, offered
the additional benefit of being
maintenance-free.
While this prototype head
worked well in most respects,
it was not able to position the
boxes right into the corners of
the shipping cartons, so Simmatic
developed a slightly smaller head
measuring 80 x 335mm which
was fitted with the same
arrangement of lifting cups as
the prototype.
The use of multiple cups was
a big benefit in this application
as, even if some of the cups were
not fully covered when lifting
boxes of a particular size, or the
irregularities in the shrink film
made it impossible for some cups to
achieve a good seal, the remaining
cups would still maintain good
vacuum, ensuring that the boxes
were lifted and transported
securely at all times.

An interesting
comment was

of our recent
events that
made me think about whether
critics linking the growing
capabilities of robots with
the future demise of human
employment have been
missing the point,” says
Mike Wilson, UK & Ireland
business development
manager at ABB Robotics.
Speaking about his
experiences of introducing
robots to his production
operations, one of the
delegates at the event made an
interesting comment about the
way his younger workers were
using the robots. Describing
them as the ‘Xbox generation’,
he told how his younger
team members were the ones
helping to pioneer the use of
the robots. Their familiarity
with technology meant that
learning how to use the robots
was much easier for them than
for his older staff, which even
though more experienced in
the production process, had
no experience of using robots.
This makes me wonder
whether the whole issue of
increased robot capability
needs to be turned on its head,
says Wilson. With robots able
to be applied more easily to a
growing range of tasks, surely
there are more opportunities
to be derived from their use,
not less?

the needs of tomorrow’s world
presents fantastic possibilities,
probably even more so than in
the past. The key point is that
robots will only make what
people need them to make

sell it, supply it and improve it.
Until someone finds a good

AirGrip has been developed
by Yaskawa for use with
Motoman robots to meet the
demands of today’s bottling
plants for flexible and efficient

industrial robots equipped with robust
rubber grippers is designed to ensure safe
handling of bottles at very high speeds
without damaging the screw caps.
The AirGrip gripper tool meets
the increasing demand for a flexible

application in bottling plants where the
same basic concept can be used for both
small and large applications and for a
wide variety of purposes. The bottles are
lifted by compressed air with minimal
mechanical stress which also helps to
reduce maintenance requirements.
And because the cuffs are open at the top,
there is no restriction in bottle height.
These cuffs are available in five
standard sizes which cover most
popular bottle sizes from 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and
2 litres while customised designs are
also possible.
IMPROVED PROCESS EFFICIENCY
In one bottling application for a major soft
drinks manufacturer, 1.5 litre PET bottles
are being handled at a rate of 47,000
bottles per hour. Other sites where the
system has improved the efficiency of
the bottling process include a number
of major European breweries in Sweden
and in Norway.
AirGrip is available as a basic model in
which the rubber gripping cuffs can be
replaced when worn by simply unlocking
and pulling out the gripping head
compartment without the need for
special tools.
The technology can be adapted to meet
the requirements of individual production
lines, speeds and product development.
Yaskawa says this enables production to be
more easily adjusted to meet the varying
demands of the market while ensuring that
high standards of reliability are met.
Depending on the application,
for example handling trays from a
pallet, or bottles into trays, the AirGrip
concept includes a Motoman-MPL160,
or Motoman-MPL80 robot, the AirGrip
device, a conveyor, a pallet magazine
and an operator’s control panel.
When the requirement is bottles into
trays, a configuration table replaces
the pallet magazine.
Either way, AirGrip makes sure that the
bottles are picked up with a secure hold
and controlled movements are possible
at high speeds. In addition to these
benefits, AirGrip requires little
maintenance, is easy to operate and
requires only a small footprint.

Mobile robots
for quick gain
Autonomous mobile robots or AMRs are now
supporting lean services for materials handling
New sensor and software
technologies are making
autonomous mobile robots
(AMRs) ideal for unpredictable
or changing production layouts
and dynamic work environments.
Agile manufacturing is allowing
companies to adapt to fast-changing
market demands and maintain their
competitiveness, but on-time delivery of
materials and assemblies within those
facilities continues to be a challenge.
Traditional automated guided vehicles
(AGVs) move materials using fixed routes
that are guided by permanent wires,
magnetic strips, or sensors embedded
in the plant floor. In contrast, however
today’s AMRs offer the flexibility,
safety, and cost-effectiveness that allow
companies of nearly any size to automate
and optimise materials handling.
An AMR navigates via sensors, cameras,
and sophisticated software that is built
into the robot itself, without the need for
external sensors or guides. And because
companies do not need to alter their
facility with wires or sensors, the robot
can be integrated within hours with no
disruption to production.
Magna-Power, a New Jersey-based
manufacturer of power products, has
deployed two mobile industrial robots
(MiR) AMRs to move parts and assemblies
from the stockroom and through its
vertically integrated manufacturing floor.
“One thing that was pretty astonishing
for me is that the MiR robot was delivered
and 15 minutes later it was unpacked
and on the floor,” says Adam Pitel,
Magna-Power VP of operations.
“In another 15 minutes, I’m controlling
it with my mobile phone, and within two
hours it is travelling from point to point
in our building, after uploading a
schematic of our facilities,” he says.
The full range of MiR AMRs is available

efficiency and reliability
by improving working
conditions and allowing operators
to handle tasks with higher
added value in a safe working
environment, says Gebo Cermex.
It also minimises operator error.
Leveraging the advantages
offered by cobotic solutions
in terms of compactness and
flexibility, Gebo Cermex has
introduced CoboAccess_Pal.
This robust cobotic palletiser is
particularly suited for low-speed
applications and underlines the
company’s commitment to help
producers embrace Industry 4.0
opportunities easily.
Today, collaborative robotics
are proving popular because
these new solutions are easyto-install
and operate in tight
production environments, and
since the collaborative mode is
safe for human interaction,
it lets manufacturers build cells
without physical fences around
the machines. Designed to handle
regular slotted containers
and wrap-around blanks and to be
suitable for low speed production
lines, CoboAccess_Pal combines
safety and industrial standards,
says the company.
ADAPTABLE AND PORTABLE
This ultra-compact, fenceless
palletising cell is designed
to answer the needs of very
demanding production
environments, where reliability
is key. What is more, the entire
palletising cell is adaptable and
also portable, so that it can be
moved from one line to another
with just a manual pallet jack.
“CoboAccess_Pal is a reliable
and robust solution thanks to an
industrial automation platform
based on the combination of PC
and PLC,” says Giorgio Rocca,
palletising/depalletising product
manager at Gebo Cermex.

“These two interfaces ensure
precise, better-controlled cobot
trajectories, leading to greater
pallet quality and stability
to provide smooth pallet
transportation through the entire
supply chain.
“Additionally, they allow for
immediate machine restarts in case
of potential problems or emergency
stops, and as such, minimise
downtime,” he continues.
This automation platform
contributes to maximum operator
protection and gentle handling
of products, as case handling
is always performed above the

which ensures that cases never
fall on the floor or on staff.

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.

Developing end-of-arm tools to accommodate a wide variety of parts with different contours is a key factor in the flexible use of cobots in manufacturing
New grippers deliver
ongoing functionality
Machinery Update talks to Piab about its ‘ready-to-go’ vacuum grippers
that can adapt to a variety of contours to handle different parts easily
The functionality of a cobot is
decided at the end of its arm
and the latest Kenos vacuum
gripper from Piab increases
the flexibility of cobots and
the range of applications without the
need for retooling.
End-of-arm tools play a key role in
cobot functionality as it allows the cobot
to pick up a part. And although specific
tools can accommodate a specific part
and perform well in a defined process,
developing tools to accommodate a wide
variety of parts with different contours is
a key factor in the flexible use of cobots.
Taking these requirements into
account, Piab has introduced its first
‘ready-to-go’ vacuum gripper unit
specifically for use with collaborative
robots (robots which can be used in close
proximity to humans). The result is the
new, compact KCS series Kenos vacuum
gripper that can pick up products of
many different shapes and is designed
in such a way that different grippers can
be exchanged easily and efficiently via
a quick-change system.
The system consists of a separate
pump unit in which a modular vacuum
generation device is integrated in the
smallest space – and a gripper unit.
Both are connected to each other by
the quick-change system. The entire unit
can be attached to all common cobot
models with a suitable adapter.
DETECTION OF WORKPIECES
The main gripper consists of a technical
foam on its underside, which can adapt
to a wide variety of contours and thus
very flexibly handle different parts.
In many cases, this eliminates the need
for accurate detection of a workpiece as
well as the detection of gripping surfaces.
In many applications, having to use a new
gripper when changing the parts to be
picked up is not necessary. The cobot is
therefore ready for immediate use during
different processes.
In addition to this flexibility in
An FDA-approved
technical foam can be
used for food products
changing between various products
easily, time and cost savings are achieved
through shorter downtime and any
retooling times. This also supports the
economic production of ever smaller
batch sizes, especially in markets with
a high demand for individualised or
personalised products.
When handling food, the gripper can
be equipped with a special FDA-approved
technical foam.
At the same time, for special
applications, such as the handling of
plastic bags filled with concentrates or
granules, Piab has developed another
gripper unit, which can be swiftly
exchanged via the quick-change system.
Both of these gripper units are
characterised by their edgeless design,
says the company. Due to the rounded
sides and the technical foam surface of
the main unit, possible injury hazards
are largely eliminated. This makes the
gripper units particularly safe to use
on cobots, which co-operate freely with
humans and thus can also increase the
acceptance by the operators.

architecture on such a machine
can often be more difficult
and costly than one would
want, says Balluff. Shielded
outputs from analogue devices
must be handled outside the
network and terminated to
conventional analogue I/O
cards. Furthermore, additional
machine-mounted network
blocks may be required to
The new shawpak thermoforming machine
By replacing traditional wiring methods, shawpak build time was reduced
ensure a sufficient number of
analogue ports are available.
These difficulties are
compounded by the variety
of analogue signal types
encountered, such as voltage,
current, and thermocouple.
Balluff’s introduction of a
new IO-Link analogue hub
solves these challenges on the
shawpak. The new 8-channel
analogue measurement hub
sits alongside the sensor hubs
handling standard I/O, both
utilising IO-Link to handle
all measurement and I/O
data via an IO-Link master
module and into the controller
seamlessly via the existing
industrial network.
“The classical
approach to analogue
integration required
either purchasing
expensive, controller
specific 2 or 4-channel
analogue-to-digital
input cards or
purchasing a specific
network-dependent
remote analogue
module,” explains
Russell Smith, product
marketing manager for
industrial networking
and safety at Balluff.
“Our new IO-Linkbased
analogue hub
eliminates the disadvantages
of both of these approaches,”
he continues.
“At Balluff, our focus is
to simplify the control and
integration of a variety of
sensors and devices by
offering a unified interface for
device-level connectivity.”
FLEXIBLE EXPANSION
Smith believes the shawpak
thermoformer is a great
example of IO-Link enabling
the existing machine
architecture to be expanded
flexibly to accommodate a
range of customer centric
options, while massively
reducing wiring time.
Indeed, by replacing
traditional wiring methods
with a plug & play IO-Link
solution, machine build time
was reduced by two days.
Furthermore, it also lays the
foundations for increased data
handling and diagnostics from
smart sensors and devices.
“This analogue hub
enhances Balluff’s extensive
IO-Link portfolio and further
enables the building of resilient,
modular control architectures
that can support Industry 4.0
strategies,” says Smith.

Safety solutions from Schmersal
Keeping it
safe for
robot users
At automatica 2018 in Germany
this June, the Schmersal Group
showcased an extensive range of
coordinated safety components
and safety systems for industrial
robots. These products allow
a wide range of robot
workstations to be reliably and
efficiently made safe, to protect
people and at the same time,
increase plant productivity.
Schmersal has developed
various ranges of safety light
curtains and light grids which
fulfil different requirements and
guarantee cost effective access
protection for robot workstations
while taking up very little space.
In operation, a safety field made
up of infrared beams is sent by the
transmitter and evaluated by the
receiver. If an object or a person
breaks the safety field, a stop
signal is immediately triggered in
order to stop the machine.
The safety switching mats
from Schmersal allow monitoring
of complete areas, not just access
points. They guarantee step-back
protection, which in practice,
means as long as an operator is
in the hazard area, the machine
cannot be started.
With the coded AZM201 RFID
interlock combined with the
BDF200-SD, individually,
ready-to-connect safety
solutions can be pre-assembled
for the safety doors on robot
cells. Thanks to the built-in RFID
technology, the AZM offers
tamper protection as required.

New bio-inspired
robots are lighter
WE’VE BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 50 YEARS
Conveyor
rollers
Festo has
unveiled two
new lightweight
robotic concepts,
inspired by nature.
The BionicWheelBot
and BionicFlyingFox
are this year’s
creations from
the company’s Bionic
Learning Network,
where Festo’s experts looked at
the motion of spiders and bats
to navigate complex situations.
BionicWheelBot robot
is based on the Flic-Flac
spider, which lives in the
Sahara and escapes predators
with cartwheels and flips.
Festo’s version sees its
intricate motion transferred
to kinematics and drive
technology. It has eight legs
which are controlled by
15 motors within the knee
joints and body.
When it rolls, it does a
somersault with its whole
body, tucking in six of the legs
and using the remaining two
to push off the ground with
every rotation. Thanks to an
integrated inertial sensor, the
robot knows its position and
when to push while rolling.
Festo has also created
BionicFlyingFox based on
the movement of the world’s
largest bat.
The BionicFlyingFox is
based on bat movement
The flying fox can
move semi-autonomously
in a defined space by
communicating with a
motion-tracking system that
constantly records its position.
Images from a camera go to a
computer which evaluates the
data and coordinates the bat’s
flight. Its wing movements
are calculated using on-board
electronics, with a 9g
brushless DC motor driving
the flapping of the wings via a
rack-and-pinion gear system.
Take-off and landing
are controlled by a human
operator.
Festo initiated the Bionic
Learning Network, which
is closely linked with the
processes of innovation
within the company, over ten
years ago with the objective
of benefiting from bionics
as a source of inspiration
for new technologies and to
realise these in industrial
automation.

80 MACHINERY UPDATE JULY/AUGUST 2018 www.machineryupdate.co.uk
Regulations
Preventing unexpected
machine start ups
Paul Laidler Taylor
Business MANAGER director FOR MACHINERY for Machinery SAFETY saftey AT TÜV At SÜD Tüv PRODUCT Süd Product SERVICE service
An updated standard relating to the requirements for designing-in the means to prevent any unexpected
machine start-ups has been introduced this year to help prevent any injuries or lucky escapes.
There are quite a few changes but here, we highlight just some of the key ones to look out for
It is often necessary for
people to enter a danger
zone in order to perform
maintenance, so being able
to ensure that a machine
is in a stopped condition
is essential. However, as
industry innovation has seen
greater levels of machinery
automation, so the probability
of unexpected start-ups and
therefore resulting potential
injuries, or lucky escapes,
has grown.
To combat this, an updated
standard relating to the
requirements for designing-in
means to prevent unexpected
machine start-up has been
introduced this year.
After more than twenty
years, BS EN ISO 14118:
2018 supersedes BS EN
1037:1995+A1:2008.
There are quite a few
changes to the new standard,
with some being more obvious
than others, so I cannot
possibly cover all of these in
great detail. However, below
are some of the key highlights
to watch out for in your
approach to ensuring you
are compliant with the new
safety rules.
RISK ASSESSMENT
Section 4 (General measures to
prevent unexpected start-up)
introduces a new element,
specifically requiring that a
risk assessment is performed
and that procedures to prevent
unexpected start-up are
described in the instruction
handbook and/or warnings
on the machine.
4.4 (Signalling and warning
-delayed start) is also new.
It states that an audible
and/or visible warning
signal and delayed start
shall be provided, if required
by the risk assessment, in
order to alert a person to the
impending start-up, with
the delayed start giving them
enough time to leave the
danger zone.
ENERGY DISSIPATION
Section 5 is renamed ‘Isolation
and energy dissipation’,
and a new sub-section (5.1)
covers unexpected start-up
prevention when power
supplies are restored.
Sub-section 5.2.2 introduces
two new elements when
considering the location and
number of power supply
isolation devices which must
be present to ensure a reliable
disconnection or separation
from the energy source:
• Note 2 – where it is
necessary to have access
to individual parts of large
machinery, a separate
additional isolation device
is required
• Note 3 – the location of
the isolating device must
either be at the place of the
intervention or along the
access route.
Locking isolation devices
is essential as it stops anyone
being tempted to override.
Both the new and old standard
required that: “The isolation
devices shall be capable of
being locked or otherwise
secured in the “isolated”
position,” but the new
standard goes into much more
detail. It also makes a further
suggestion about a suitable
locking device, in the form
of personal keys, which can
be released from a trapped
key interlocking device and
The emergency function must
now be an additional system which
ensures a new ‘belt and braces’
approach to machine safety
retained by a person, so
that no one else outside the
machine can accidentally
start it up.
Devices for stored-energy
dissipation or restraint must
be provided where stored
energy can give rise to a
hazard. The old standard
simply requires that the
necessary procedures are
described in the instruction
handbook or in warnings on
the machine itself. However,
the new standard adds the
requirement that (section
5.4.1.4): “The machine
shall not be able to be started
with dissipation devices
activated or restraint devices
in place if this generates
new hazards.”
When considering measures
to prevent unintended
actuation of manual start
controls, the new standard
adds some additional detail
(section 6.2.1): “Where a
control device is designed
and constructed to perform
several different actions,
namely, where there is no
one-to-one correspondence,
the action to be performed
shall be clearly displayed
and subject to confirmation,
where necessary.” This is
intended to ensure a positive
understanding of any action
taken by that control, and
where this may not be clear
it is displayed and requires
confirmation before the action
can take place.
STOP COMMANDS
Section 6.3 of the new
standard covers measures to
maintain stop commands,
and one key update here is
the addition of a note which
specifies that the emergency
stop function cannot be
considered as a measure of
prevention of unexpected
start-up. This means that
the emergency function
must be an addition to any
systems put in place to prevent
unintended start-up when
people enter a dangerous area
of the machine, essentially
ensuring a ‘belt and braces’
approach to machine safety.
