Food packaging with the Fanuc M-430iA series

The food indus­try has begun to rely heav­i­ly on indus­tri­al automa­tion in the last few years. Robot­ic pack­ag­ing sys­tems, like those found in the Fanuc M‑430iA series, allow for food to be pack­aged at a faster rate, which cuts down on food spoilage and saves com­pa­nies mon­ey on wast­ed food. These robots also improve the accu­ra­cy of food pack­ag­ing, which helps to ensure the safe­ty of consumers.

One issue when work­ing with food in an indus­tri­al set­ting is that it needs to be pack­aged and on its way to the con­sumer as fast as pos­si­ble. If the food sits too long, it could become con­t­a­m­i­nat­ed or spoiled, and it would have to be thrown away. With the use of Fanuc M430iA series robots, this is no longer a large prob­lem for the food indus­try companies.

The M 430iA series has a coat­ing that allows it to work with food, includ­ing pri­ma­ry food han­dling. It can with­stand the harsh chem­i­cal spray down that is nec­es­sary to wash robots that han­dle food all day, espe­cial­ly when the line may change prod­ucts, which is some­thing that hap­pens often in the food indus­try. This keeps cus­tomers safe from ingest­ing con­t­a­m­i­nat­ed food. But, the M‑430iA has anoth­er way to keep con­sumers safe. It cuts down on work­er error by ensur­ing that the right food gets into the right pack­ages, through vision sys­tems and touch sen­sors. This cuts down on con­sumers get­ting the wrong prod­uct, which could be a tragedy for some­one with a severe allergy.

There are three pay­load vari­a­tions in the M430iA series – the M‑430iA/​2FH, the M‑430iA/​4FH and the M‑430iA/​2PH. These robots can han­dle from 2 – 4kg pay­loads, and are also flex­i­ble enough to han­dle oth­er appli­ca­tions like part trans­fer and assem­bly. This flex­i­bil­i­ty, along with the speed and accu­ra­cy, saves the man­u­fac­tur­er mon­ey on equip­ment, labor and waste.
