~ Event will also feature TM SCARA and Cartesian robots along side Gudel’s range of Gantry Palletising Systems ~
TM Robotics will be exhibiting its new ABOT box opening system and its range of Toshiba Machine SCARA and Cartesian robots at this year’s series of Güdel UK open days. The events will take place at Güdel’s Coventry plant from June 18 to June 21.
ABOT (Automated Box Opening Technology) automates the goods inward process and increases production while also improving health and safety standards by reducing worker injuries. TM Robotics believes that operations shifting 2,500 boxes a day will receive payback in just six months. ABOT uses light sensors to measure a box moving down a built-in conveyor. It then tailors the way the box is cut to a pre-programmed pattern. Perfect for use in the logistics industries, or indeed any business that opens a high volume of boxes, ABOT is capable of dealing with up to twelve hundred cases per hour. To further promote the ABOT, TM Robotics has launched a dedicated Web site - http://www.abot.eu.com/. Visitors to the site can watch and download videos of the system and details of its operation.
The event will also take in a range of Güdel products including an order picking gantry system featuring bespoke gripper technology, a pick and place gantry robot and a heavy duty gripper application, which, on installation, will handle up to two tons of customer product. Industries that will be covered include logistics, handling, food, FMCG (fast moving consumer goods), the frozen and chilled industry and warehousing. Entry to the event is by invitation only and interested parties should contact either Güdel or TM Robotics to receive their invitation.
“The day is a good chance for customers and potential customers to assess the technology available to them and perhaps learn a little more about complimentary technologies,” explained Nigel Smith, managing director of TM Robotics. “It’s also an opportunity for buyers of industrial robots and gantry systems to see the ABOT technology, and find out more about how it could be applied in an industrial environment.”
