BACK TO THE FUTURE.<br />
Our innovations have been helping to shape the future of the packaging industry for 50 years – through<br />
technology, services and advertising. To mark our anniversary, we are recalling some of our campaign<br />
motifs from the 70s, 80s and 90s with a twinkle in our eye. We were never low on courage, as you can<br />
see. A huge thank you to all our customers, partners, and media partners whose great support has<br />
helped us on our journey. We are now looking forward to continuing our cooperation over the coming<br />
years and decades.<br />
The world of packaging robots<br />
Robots are about to change our<br />
world, making it more pleasant and<br />
interesting, and ensuring a secure<br />
future. New technologies enable<br />
machines to operate more powerfully,<br />
efficiently, flexibly and economically.<br />
Schubert was the first packaging<br />
programmed motion in which closed<br />
robot systems and CNC units can be<br />
used individually. The result: easy-tooperate,<br />
clear, low-maintenance and<br />
highly flexible packaging machines<br />
and systems which respond to market<br />
demands. Let’s talk: +49 (0)7951400 0.<br />

PPMA matters<br />
Work smarter<br />
not harder to<br />
be successful<br />
Grant Jamieson<br />
CHAIRMAN PPMA GROUP OF ASSOCIATIONS<br />
(INCORPORATING PPMA, BARA & UKIVA)<br />
Iwas a speaker at the National Manufacturing Debate at<br />
Cranfield University recently and I was really impressed with<br />
the vision shown by Rolls Royce’s Hamid Mughal, its global<br />
director of manufacturing.<br />
He talked about all the technology and self-learning robotic<br />
production equipment the car maker will be/are using today.<br />
Essentially robotic welding plant that welds, inspects, continues<br />
to learn and hence improves their performance for the next time. How<br />
smart is this? The continuous learning, continuous improvement,<br />
maximising added value, improving quality, improving productivity<br />
and delivering reliability. There is no doubt that automation,<br />
robotics, vision systems and people are vitally connected.<br />
By not recruiting enough<br />
young people we are creating<br />
future management issues<br />
For my part I introduced my concept of ‘the leadership vacuum’<br />
that in my opinion, exists in our industry – one of my top concerns.<br />
To explain in brief, the absence of entrants to the engineering/<br />
manufacturing industry through the absence of apprentices<br />
which has been the norm for the past 25 years or so is having an<br />
impact on the leadership of our sector. It means that the quantity<br />
of potential employees that can rise to be leaders (who are under<br />
the age of 45 years old), are scarce, and thus we have a leadership<br />
vacuum. I suggested in my Cranfield presentation that the<br />
industry as a whole needs to recognise and respond to this.<br />
Automation, robotics and vision systems in processing and<br />
packaging machinery are compensating for the numbers game,<br />
but analysis shows automation leads to redeployment and job<br />
creation, so there has never been a better time to identify talent.<br />
This issue includes a 38 page feature on these sectors and, as<br />
Mike Wilson of BARA argues, (see pages 34 and 35) by embracing<br />
robotics, businesses can not only increase productivity but also<br />
up-skill their current workforce. And, by definition, this makes<br />
employment in the sector more attractive.<br />
Wilson says we have a choice to make going forward: we can<br />
either make people work harder and longer or we can apply the<br />
latest technologies that enable them to work smarter.<br />
So again, I say, there has never been a better time to identify<br />
talent and attract it to our industry. Apart from being needed<br />
– look how interesting and diverse it is – it is a wonderful<br />
playground. If you’re reading this – we need you, tell your<br />
friends and children too.<br />

ceremony celebrates<br />
a new Dutch plant<br />
Dutch packaging machine<br />
builder BluePrint Automation<br />
(BPA) has celebrated the first<br />
pile driving for a new plant it is<br />
planning to build in Woerden.<br />
The company was founded<br />
by Bob Prakken in 1980 and<br />
is now in its fourth location<br />
within the town and, thanks<br />
to strong growth of the<br />
company over the last couple<br />
of years, the decision was<br />
taken to build a new factory<br />
on the former Den Oudsten<br />
site in Woerden.<br />
Before the first pile went into<br />
the ground, it was signed by<br />
all the employees of BPA and<br />
everyone received a ’Friday<br />
afternoon-hammer’ which<br />
also serves as a bottle opener<br />
to commemorate the event.<br />

Campden BRI and<br />
Alchemy in partnership<br />
with BRC, SGS, SQF and<br />
TSI has released the results<br />
of the fourth annual global<br />
survey of food safety training.<br />
The survey, which<br />
questioned food and drink<br />
manufacturers and processors<br />
worldwide to identify the<br />
needs, effectiveness and<br />
challenges of food safety<br />
training in the industry today,<br />
reveals some interesting trends:<br />
• Improving food safety<br />
culture was the top training<br />
goal for almost 80% of<br />
those surveyed<br />
• Many companies are not<br />
exploiting the specialist<br />
expertise available in their<br />
HR departments<br />
• Traditional training<br />
methods are still favoured<br />
over online methods.<br />
Improving the food safety<br />
culture was the most important<br />
training goal ahead of effective<br />
employee performance in the<br />
survey. And an improved food<br />
safety culture was named<br />
as one of the top benefits of<br />
effective training.<br />

NO CULTURE EMPHASIS<br />
And yet, the survey found<br />
that less than 50% of those<br />
surveyed said food safety<br />
culture is currently included<br />
in their company’s training<br />
programme and only 35% said<br />
the level of food safety culture<br />
is considered when measuring<br />
the value of training.<br />
Even less, just 19%, said food<br />
safety culture audits are used<br />
to measure sustained positive<br />
food safety behaviours.<br />
The results show that threequarters<br />
of those surveyed<br />
said the responsibility for food<br />
safety training either rested<br />
with quality control or technical<br />
staff. Only in 8% of cases was<br />
HR primarily responsible.<br />

Acquiring engineering<br />
sustains manufacture<br />
m<br />
Western Mechanical Handling<br />
(WMH) has expanded its<br />
in-house manufacturing<br />
capabilities with the acquisition<br />
of precision engineering company<br />
GJM Engineering.<br />
After 30 years in business, owner<br />
and founder of GJM Engineering<br />
Graham Massey is hanging up<br />
his tools and looking forward to<br />
a hard earned retirement.<br />
He and his company have provided<br />
machining support to WMH for<br />
many years.<br />
The machining workshop will<br />
continue to operate from its current<br />
premises which are close to the main<br />
WMH headquarters on Moss Side<br />
Industrial Estate, Callington. The<br />
site will be run as a division of WMH,<br />
providing vital machining services to<br />
WMH and to its other customers.<br />
WMH is a family owned company<br />
offering automation solutions to food and<br />
pharmaceutical companies around the<br />
world. Established in 1976, the company<br />
has 40-years’ experience in the design<br />
and build of bespoke solutions to meet<br />
specific production requirements.<br />
WMH is welcoming the staff of GJM Engineering to its ranks<br />
after the retirement of Graham Massey (pictured second left)<br />
The acquisition secures employment for<br />
GJM’s three machine tool operators,<br />
who have over 50 years of engineering<br />
expertise between them and also allows<br />
WMH to continue to have easy access to a<br />
machine workshop.<br />
WMH welcomes Pete Diamond, Kevin<br />
Jones and Steve Bullard to its ranks.<br />

At the end of June, Pierre Guillon<br />
handed over the running of Pack’R<br />
to Didier Bessard who purchased the<br />
business at the end of 2015.<br />
To mark this occasion, both men<br />
visited the UK to have lunch with<br />
one of the company’s most loyal<br />
customers, managing director of<br />
KTC (Edibles) Jindy Khera. He was<br />
responsible for purchasing one of the<br />
first Pack’R filler/cappers sold into<br />
the UK more than 20 years ago and<br />
has continued to buy many more<br />
machines for their ever-expanding<br />
edible oil business. Karen Cobbett<br />
from Springvale has represented<br />
Pack’R for 25 years in the UK so this<br />

Sad passing<br />
of the Alrad<br />
founder<br />
We are sad to note the sudden<br />
passing of Douglas Alan Alderton<br />
in May, while on holiday in Spain.<br />
Douglas was the founder of<br />
UK Industrial Vision Association<br />
(UKIVA) member Alrad Imaging,<br />
and father of current UKIVA<br />
chairman Ian Alderton.<br />
Douglas was originally involved<br />
in nuclear instrumentation,<br />
working for companies such as<br />
EMI and was a participant in<br />
the first trade mission to China<br />
following the Cultural Revolution.<br />
In 1970, Douglas worked for<br />
Wenzel Elektronik UK Ltd<br />
to distribute nuclear<br />
instrumentation and in 1976<br />
completed a management buyout<br />
to form Alrad Instruments Ltd,<br />
with his wife Doreen as financial<br />
director. Among the early<br />
products sold were camera tubes<br />
from Mullard, which eventually<br />
allowed the company to diversify<br />
into scientific imaging and then<br />
into industrial vision as that<br />
industry grew during the 1980s.<br />
The Alrad Imaging name was<br />
adopted in the early 1990s and<br />
the company has been an active<br />
member of the UKIVA since<br />
then. Douglas and Doreen retired<br />
from Alrad in 1995 with sons Ian<br />
and Graham taking over running<br />
the business; Ian as managing<br />
director and Graham responsible<br />
for finance at the company.

New Machinery<br />
End of line range is a modular<br />
offer delivering reliable quality<br />
At drupa, Atlantic Zeiser<br />
demonstrated Digiline<br />
Versa, a new unit that<br />
combines serialisation and<br />
late-stage customisation in<br />
multiple colours.<br />
This, says the company,<br />
allows considerable stock<br />
reduction of preprinted box<br />
formats and significant saving<br />
potential to be realised,<br />
especially for high value<br />
products that are marketed<br />
in small quantities.<br />
The basis for this system is<br />
an integrated comprehensive<br />
solution with integrated Unique<br />
Code Software. “With Digiline<br />
Versa, it is now possible to<br />
print flat or even already-glued<br />
carton boxes with all of the<br />
necessary labelling, including<br />
serialisation, just-in-time and in<br />
multiple colours,” says Helmut<br />
Schneider, product group<br />
manager pharma & packaging<br />
solutions at Atlantic Zeiser.<br />
“In this way, the costs for<br />
logistics and warehousing<br />
can be minimised, particularly<br />
with production lot sizes<br />
reducing constantly.”<br />
For this purpose, Digiline<br />
Versa is equipped with high<br />
Fortress 3rd LHP_<strong>MU</strong> 19/11/2014 08:47 Page 1<br />
Digiline Versa provides an efficient, safe and error-free serialisation solution<br />
quality ink jet technology,<br />
for a pin sharp print result at<br />
a speed of 50 metres a minute.<br />
The ink used is resistant<br />
to water, alcohols and other<br />
solvents. With the scalable<br />
printing width, a diverse<br />
range of box formats can<br />
be processed: up to 300mm<br />
in width. Furthermore, it is<br />
also equipped with Unique<br />
Code Software that allows<br />
serialisation according<br />
to existing and future<br />
serialisation regulations<br />
without duplications and with<br />
process reliability.<br />
The integrated camera<br />
system verifies the print<br />
quality of the Late-Stage<br />
Customisation and subsequent<br />
labelling, as well as the<br />
serialisation and then hands<br />
over the inspection results<br />
to the machine controller to<br />
ensure quality.<br />
The Unique Code Software<br />
included in the package<br />
ensures that no duplicated<br />
serial numbers are assigned<br />
or printed. At the same time,<br />
all coded serial numbers are<br />
permanently and securely<br />
stored in the database for<br />
later usage. Thus contract<br />
manufacturing organisations<br />
and also pharmaceutical<br />
companies are able to fulfil<br />
the requirements for product<br />
quality and reporting of<br />
production data.<br />
Furthermore, the software<br />
allows production orders to<br />
be distributed across several<br />
machines, interrupted if<br />
necessary and redistributed,<br />
in a risk-free manner.<br />
It also helps with production<br />
planning.<br />
In operation, the overview<br />
of machines and orders is<br />
always maintained with the<br />
integrated order management<br />
functions – even if several<br />
machines are used in parallel<br />
or at different locations.<br />

Resealable option is now easier<br />
to retrofit to existing wrappers<br />
The developer of the<br />
original zip applicator<br />
for resealable packaging<br />
has revisited the technology<br />
to make it easier to fit to flow<br />
wrappers while also taking<br />
up less space.<br />
Managing director of Line<br />
Equipment John Blashkiw<br />
developed the first Reseal<br />
360XM zip applicator in<br />
conjunction with Zip Pak.<br />
“The original zip applicator<br />
was developed to work<br />
with the zipper technology<br />
that existed at the time,”<br />
he explains, “but Zip Pak<br />
has not stood still with its<br />
development of zips, and the<br />
advent of a single self-closing<br />
zip, without the need for a<br />
separate male and female<br />
band, has allowed me to<br />
re-visit the zip applicator and<br />
how it works.”<br />
EASE OF FITTING<br />
This re-visit, he says, has led<br />
to a leap forward in the zip<br />
applicator’s ease of fitting.<br />
“With the ability to run the<br />
applicator with rotary jaws in<br />
the transverse direction,<br />
it can now be retrofitted to<br />
flow wrappers more easily<br />
and also takes up less space,”<br />
says Blashkiw.<br />
“Existing packaging<br />
companies who want to look<br />
at the option of adding<br />
resealable closures without<br />
starting from scratch should<br />
talk to us,” he tells Machinery<br />
Update. “In most cases,<br />
retrofitting a zip applicator<br />
will not disrupt an existing line.<br />
“We have retrofitted a zip<br />
applicator to machines that<br />
are well over 20 years old and<br />
they are running on all the<br />
major makes of machine,<br />
both horizontal and vertical<br />
form, fill and seal,” he says.<br />
“We can work on bepoke<br />
solutions for customers.”<br />

The latest additions to Tong’s range allows the company to offer the complete vegetable processing solution<br />
Tong Engineering has<br />
announced a new range<br />
of vegetable processing<br />
equipment to be added to the<br />
company’s existing portfolio<br />
of processing machinery<br />
following its partnership<br />
with Netherlands-based<br />
food processing equipment<br />
manufacturer Marcelissen.<br />
The new range of equipment<br />
will enable Tong to integrate<br />
additional processes within<br />
its vegetable handling lines,<br />
including crop peeling,<br />
cutting and slicing as well as<br />
slither removal and optical<br />
grading of peeled product.<br />
“With the prepared<br />
produce market continuing<br />
to experience growth in-line<br />
with ongoing consumer trends<br />
towards convenience products,<br />
Tong has seen an increase in<br />
demand for turnkey vegetable<br />
peeling and processing<br />
installations,” explains<br />
Charles Tong, chairman at<br />
Tong Engineering. “With this<br />
in mind, we made the decision<br />
to identify a reliable partner<br />
who could offer us a broader<br />
range of equipment specifically<br />
designed for the peeling and<br />
processing sector.<br />
“Marcelissen were a<br />
natural choice for us as we<br />
have worked with its peeling<br />
and processing equipment<br />
previously, and are now<br />
very pleased to be appointed<br />
UK distributor of its highlyrespected<br />
machines,” he<br />
continues. “From a range of<br />
vegetable peelers, to cutting<br />
machines, slither removers<br />
and optical grading equipment<br />
designed specifically for peeled<br />
crop, the new additions to our<br />
existing processing range will<br />
bring our customers even more<br />
processing options.”<br />
HIGHEST YIELD<br />
Bob Truen, sales manager<br />
at Marcelissen says the<br />
company’s equipment<br />
ensures the highest yields<br />
for customers, with minimal<br />
waste and exceptionally low<br />
maintenance. “What’s more,<br />
our peelers not only enhance<br />
the finished appearance of<br />
crop, but also help to triple<br />
product shelf life,” he says.<br />
The vegetable peelers are<br />
suitable for use on a wide<br />
range of crops including<br />
potatoes, onions, carrots and<br />
parsnips. The company’s<br />
drum roller peeler gives<br />
customers a perfectly round<br />
peeled finish with minimal<br />
waste. Finished quality is<br />
controlled and fine-tuned<br />
within the machine’s controls,<br />
where peeling time, peeling<br />
intensity and rotation settings<br />
can be adjusted for the best<br />
possible results.<br />
Another popular peeling<br />
option is the knife peeler,<br />
which gives a high quality<br />
hand-peeled finish, making<br />
the peeled crop look more<br />
authentic.<br />
Marcelissen also offers a<br />
number of vegetable cutters<br />
that suit a wide variety of<br />
throughput requirements.<br />
From high capacity hydro<br />
cutters, to 3D cutters and<br />
belt slicing machines,<br />
there is a cutting machine to<br />
suit all types of vegetables.<br />
Removing ‘slither’ from crop<br />
after processing helps to<br />
ensure crop is in optimum<br />
condition prior to packing<br />
and the company’s slither<br />
removers are capable of<br />
effectively processing up to<br />
20 tonnes of crop per hour.<br />

Mandrel case former designed<br />
to provide optimised solution<br />
Smurfit Kappa is<br />
launching the SKMF 146<br />
mandrel case former<br />
designed to provide customers<br />
with an effective and<br />
optimised packaging machine<br />
solution combined with the<br />
flexibility to pack multiple<br />
design formats.<br />
In operation, the SKMF 146<br />
forms cases with precision<br />
by shaping them around<br />
a mandrel. This precision<br />
forming improves the<br />
efficiency of the entire<br />
packing line due to more<br />
reliable case filling, perfect<br />
case closing and straight<br />
stack palletisation, says the<br />
company. This results in<br />
better pack performance while<br />
minimising any supply<br />
chain risk.<br />
The SKMF 146 also offers<br />
brands owners the flexibility<br />
to change the design of their<br />
packaging to maximise<br />
shopper impact instore, where<br />
82% of purchase decisions<br />
are made. It can fold cases<br />
with 4, 6 or 8 corner designs<br />
and in various shapes so<br />
brand owners can modify<br />
existing packs. For instance,<br />
to have extra surface space to<br />
communicate brand messages,<br />
or develop a complete new<br />
pack to disrupt any shopper<br />
behaviour.<br />
The SKMF 146 mandrel case<br />
former is a highly versatile<br />
machine which can be used<br />
by different industries and<br />
businesses. One of the first<br />
users is Pernod Ricard.<br />
The Ricard plant in Lormont,<br />
north of Bordeaux, produces<br />
about 18 million litres per year.<br />

Rovema has launched<br />
a snack food concept<br />
which includes the<br />
BVR230 bagging system<br />
with integrated weigher and<br />
a picker module which is<br />
capable of reaching speeds of<br />
180 bags a minute. The control<br />
of the picker module and the<br />
weigher is mounted directly<br />
and also integrated to the<br />
bagger to allow the complete<br />
system to be operated by a<br />
single HMI.<br />
The Flexpicker case packer<br />
can handle weights of up to<br />
6kg and multiple cells can be<br />
joined together if required.<br />
It can be used in conjunction<br />
with any of the other Rovema<br />
VFFS machines to handle<br />
many different pack styles<br />
and can also be supplied<br />
as a standalone unit to be<br />
retrofitted to an existing<br />
machine installation.<br />
The motion profiles of the<br />
delta kinematics are calculated<br />
by the vertical bagger control to<br />
allow the picker to be coupled<br />
smoothly to the continuously<br />
driven infeed and discharge<br />
belts. The packaging process<br />

No additional operator training is required for the weigher and picker<br />
runs smoothly and in an<br />
energy-efficient operation<br />
which is gentle on the product<br />
and machine, says Rovema.<br />
When changing the<br />
performance of the<br />
vertical bagger, the picker<br />
automatically adapts its<br />
movement profiles and the<br />
choice of the recipe will also<br />
be implemented in the picker.<br />
This shortens changeover<br />
times. All adjustments for the<br />
vertical bagger, weigher and<br />
picker are made on only one<br />
menu display (the HMI touch<br />
panel) as the same hardware<br />
is used throughout.<br />

Installation News<br />
Ensuring food safety with latest<br />
metal detection equipment offer<br />
Following successful<br />
trials against competitor<br />
machinery, Metal<br />
Detection Services (MDS)<br />
won the contract to install<br />
inspection equipment at<br />
Greencore’s Warrington site.<br />
The project has seen<br />
seven, twin headed systems<br />
comprising 14 conveyormounted<br />
detector heads.<br />
These heads are both ferrous<br />
in foil and MS21 multi<br />
spectrum technology and<br />
are all designed and built to<br />
the latest retailer codes of<br />
practice in operation.<br />
Before commissioning,<br />
factory acceptance tests were<br />
carried out at CEIA’s facility<br />
in Italy, where the units<br />
were built, before they were<br />
shipped to the Greencore<br />
site in the UK. Four project<br />
staff from Greencore, headed<br />
by project managers Neil<br />
Greenfield and Jon Bremner<br />
travelled to the Italian site<br />
to work with MDS managers<br />
David Hale and Pete Higgins.<br />
INCREASED RATES<br />
The systems are now installed<br />
at Greencore and have<br />
increased detection rates at<br />
the site. Indeed, Greencore<br />
has identified that the level of<br />
detection of ferrous materials<br />
and other contaminants has<br />
increased dramatically since<br />
The twin head CEIA system installed at Greencore’s Warrington site is fully compliant to all retailer codes of practice<br />
using the CEIA technology<br />
when compared to previous<br />
equipment. “Greencore has<br />
been able to reduce its test<br />
stick size by more than half<br />
with this new technology,”<br />
says David Hale of MDS.<br />
The success of these metal<br />
detection systems has seen<br />
Greencore ask MDS to quote<br />
for a further two units as part<br />
of an ongoing expansion<br />
project at the Greencore<br />
factory in the North West.<br />
“We are delighted with the<br />
functionality and performance<br />
of the CEIA metal detectors,”<br />
explains Jon Bremner,<br />
continuous improvements<br />
co-ordinator at Greencore.<br />
LATEST TECHNOLOGY<br />
“The introduction of these<br />
cutting-edge detectors ensures<br />
that Greencore Warrington is<br />
using the latest technology<br />
available to exceed our<br />
customers’ requirements<br />
for the detection of metal<br />
contamination,” he continues.<br />
“Both our technical team<br />
and our operators are<br />
impressed by how simple and<br />
user friendly the detectors<br />
are to set up and operate,<br />
despite their incredible<br />
performance.”<br />

Pick and place delivers<br />
speed for bakery items<br />
RM Group has developed a high<br />
speed handling solution to arrange<br />
a variety of bakery products into<br />
a number of pack ready formats for the<br />
Village Bakery Group.<br />
The bakery wanted to “dramatically<br />
and reliably increase production handling<br />
capability and maintain very high quality<br />
standards” and has been delighted with<br />
the resulting system.<br />
“System performance is every bit<br />
keeping pace and we have been able to<br />
improve quality and consistency for<br />
our customer which has enabled us to<br />
meet peek demands,” explains Christien<br />
Jones, project director at the Village<br />
Bakery Group.<br />
To achieve the prerequisite speed and<br />
accuracy the company used Flex-Picker<br />
robots from ABB Robotics.<br />
Having reviewed various layout options<br />
with the customer, RM devised a ten<br />
robot system, split into two banks of five,<br />
namely ABB Flex-Picker IRB360’s with<br />
Pick Master 3 control. The system also<br />
incorporates six ABB high resolution<br />
vision systems which not only take<br />
advantage of the Flex-Picker’s accuracy,<br />
but also provide a high degree of quality<br />
Flex-Picker robots from ABB Robotics are used<br />
Product is picked and placed directly to conveyors<br />
inspection for shape and colour.<br />
In operation, product is conveyed away<br />
from the customers cooling conveyor and<br />
split between the two banks of five robot<br />
cells. Each robot is equipped with a<br />
Festo pick-up head which operates using<br />
the Bernoulli ‘non-contact’ principle.<br />
Product is picked and placed directly<br />
to Fuji flow wrapper infeed conveyors<br />
which have been integrated into the<br />
system along with Fuji card feeders.<br />
Smart logic programming of the<br />
assembled system ensures all packs<br />
entering the flow wrappers are filled<br />
with the correct product.<br />
All system components, including<br />
the flow wrappers, were shipped to<br />
RM Group’s Newtown factory which<br />
incorporates a 25,000sq ft testing<br />
facility. Here, the company was able<br />
to fully pre-build, rigorously test and<br />
snag the complete system, resulting in<br />
a smooth and fast installation at the<br />
customer site and a dramatically reduced<br />
commissioning period.<br />
Despite the high tech, high speed<br />
capability of this system, the operator<br />
has been provided with easy to use HMI<br />
touch screens, says the RM Group.<br />
“From the outset, RM Group inspired<br />
confidence,” says Jones. “Supported by<br />
ABB, they demonstrated a high level of<br />
expertise and technical ability.<br />
“We were kept fully advised and<br />
involved with trials at the design and<br />
development stage and the door to the<br />
RM Group factory was always open<br />
during manufacture,” he continues.<br />
“Also, the system was installed very<br />
efficiently with minimal disruption<br />
to our day to day operation.”<br />

Flow wrapper chosen for quick<br />
changeover and hygiene benefit<br />
PFM has delivered the<br />
first of its new Sirio<br />
flow wrappers in the<br />
UK to family-run Scottish<br />
bakers Tunnock’s where it is<br />
now employed on a range of<br />
multipacks and seasonal goods.<br />
These include Tunnock’s<br />
famous caramel wafer biscuits<br />
in 2x8 and 3x8 formats.<br />
With a variety of goods to<br />
handle, the stainless steel food<br />
standard machine was chosen,<br />
says managing director<br />
Boyd Tunnock, for quick<br />
changeover and hygiene.<br />
“Our previous machine was<br />
hard to adjust from one size<br />
to the next and needed an<br />
engineer,” he explains.<br />
“We wanted a wrapping<br />
machine that we could adjust<br />
much more easily and would<br />
be easy to clean.<br />
Fully Integrated Robotic Solutions<br />
Sysmac Automation Platform<br />
WE’RE ENJOYING IT<br />
“Each product has its<br />
programme held in memory<br />
for press-button set up with the<br />
folding box simply adjustable<br />
by handwheel,” he continues.<br />
“The operation is so easy to use:<br />
we’re enjoying it,” he adds.<br />
The Sirio is a hygienic flow<br />
wrapper developed by PFM<br />
using a special machine build<br />
system that allows much easier<br />
and more effective cleaning<br />
than traditional designs.<br />
In place of the usual welded<br />
frame that supports principal<br />
machine components, the new<br />
IPS (independent perimeter<br />
support) approach from PFM<br />
employs a tubular stainless<br />
steel frame that not only<br />
provides support, but acts also<br />
as a conduit for electrical and<br />
electronic cables.<br />
In this way, the electrical<br />
cabinet is kept completely<br />
separate from the rest of the<br />
machine, potential dirt traps<br />
are virtually eliminated and<br />
steam cleaning is secure.<br />

Aramex transports parcels<br />
from international hubs to<br />
the UK and once the parcels<br />
arrive, they are loaded onto<br />
a conveyor for the Erwin Sick<br />
VMS system to measure the<br />
volume of each parcel in order<br />
for the company to determine<br />
which carrier to use. At this<br />
point, the original barcode<br />
is scanned to determine<br />
whether a new shipping label<br />
needs to be applied. If a new<br />
label is required, it is printed<br />
and applied in real-time by a<br />
Logopak 515 TBH.<br />
The parcels then continue<br />
along the conveyor to be<br />
sorted according to postcode<br />
and also courier.<br />

TIJ coder is<br />
a reliable<br />
alternative<br />
A thermal inkjet (tij) coder<br />
from Rotech has proved to be a<br />
flexible, reliable and economical<br />
alternative to continuous inkjet<br />
coding at Paragon PE, a Cheshire<br />
manufacturer of sanitisation<br />
products. The versatile coder is<br />
being shared between two filling<br />
lines applying codes directly to<br />
plastic bottles as well as via labels.<br />
“We’d never considered thermal<br />
inkjet before but the coder supplied<br />
by Rotech has been a revelation<br />
- it’s an easy to use, economical<br />
system with an impressive costversatility<br />
ratio,” says Paul Ward,<br />
managing director of Paragon PE.<br />
With business booming,<br />
Paragon needed to upgrade its<br />
coding capabilities, and, given its<br />
negative experience of continuous<br />
inkjet printers, decided to<br />
invest in a second hot foil coder<br />
from Rotech. However, Rotech<br />
recommended a tij printer as<br />
Paragon wanted a versatile coder<br />
it could move between lines.<br />
“With tij, clean cartridge<br />
technology combines both<br />
head and ink, so you don’t have<br />
any downtime as a result of<br />
blocked nozzles, spillages and<br />
maintenance,” says Richard<br />
Pether, director at Rotech.<br />
For Paragon, Rotech specified<br />
the Bluhm Markoprint X1JET, a<br />
cost effective, compact print head<br />
for easy integration into existing<br />
production lines. And to ensure<br />
accurate code placement, Rotech<br />
custom built a stand on which to<br />
mount the coder.<br />

Pick and place system helps to<br />
increase efficiency at Viennetta<br />
In response to a request from<br />
Unilever Ice Cream UK to<br />
increase the tray placing<br />
efficiency for its Viennetta<br />
brand, Linkx Systems has<br />
developed and installed four<br />
bespoke, servo-driven pick<br />
and place tray systems at the<br />
company’s Gloucester plant.<br />
Misplaced trays were a<br />
big issue on the Viennetta<br />
production line as they<br />
cause product and machine<br />
contamination and force<br />
sanitation to clean the<br />
machines which in turn,<br />
results in downtime. Linkx<br />
therefore developed a solution<br />
that integrates with existing<br />
machinery. The result is<br />
increased product placement<br />
efficiency as in operation,<br />
efficiency has increased from<br />
3-10 misplaced trays per hour<br />
to fewer than one misplaced<br />
tray every 4 hours.<br />
An accuracy level of 99.99%.<br />
IMPROVED OPERATION<br />
“Viennetta is a very important<br />
product for us and we had no<br />
hesitation in appointing Linkx<br />
to help improve the operations<br />
on one of the biggest<br />
production lines in the plant,”<br />
says Barry Dunne of Unilever.<br />
“The bespoke pick and place<br />

also prevents the need for<br />
any misplaced trays to be<br />
discharged, which caused<br />
production delays before its<br />
installation. Now, in the event<br />
of any misplaced trays being<br />
detected, the machine utilises<br />
the latest Allen Bradley<br />
Kinetix 5500 servo control<br />
system to stop the outfeed<br />
belts and to swap the vacuum<br />
pick to a secondary servo<br />
unit. The primary unit has<br />
the ability to then reverse and<br />
self-clear, before attempting<br />
to re-start running again<br />
automatically.<br />

NATURAL VENTILATION<br />
On this basis, a natural<br />
ventilation approach was<br />
adopted as the problem<br />
occurred mainly in the summer<br />
and all of the production<br />
activities were in the bottom<br />
half of the building allowing<br />
the natural buoyancy of warm<br />
air to be exploited. It involved<br />
installing over 40 Colt Seefire<br />
natural louvred ventilators into<br />
the roof light structure.<br />
“As the site is secure we were<br />
able to use existing doors at<br />
low level for inlet so reducing<br />
the investment costs,” explains<br />
Paul Langford, engineering<br />
director at Colt. “This approach<br />
also avoided any issues<br />
associated with noise produced<br />
by mechanical extract<br />
systems,” he says.<br />
The company says that<br />
energy use associated with<br />
running HVAC equipment<br />
might be considered to be<br />
relatively small and ‘lost’ in<br />
the overall site energy bill, but<br />
actually in practice these costs<br />
often add up.<br />

Layer pad washer brings many<br />
operational efficiency benefits<br />
IWM (Industrial Washing<br />
Machines) has supplied<br />
a customised washing<br />
machine to Demes<br />
Palettenlogistik in Germany<br />
for washing and drying a<br />
variety of solid and corrugated<br />
plastic layer pads. The first of<br />
its kind, the all-new LPW600<br />
machine includes a pneumatic<br />
stacking system as well as<br />
PLC-based control, monitoring<br />
and reporting systems.<br />
Johannes Demes<br />
and his team at Demes<br />
Palettenlogistik are delighted<br />
with the performance and<br />
reliability of the custom<br />
designed layer pad washer.<br />
“I have had many years’<br />
experience with pad washing<br />
systems, and I can say without<br />
any reservations that the IWM<br />
machine is by far the most<br />
efficient and well-built that<br />
I’ve ever seen, says Johannes<br />
Demes. “It’s a superb piece of<br />
engineering and it is already<br />
helping us to boost our<br />
efficiency and profitability.”<br />
The company has a long<br />
history in supply chain<br />
management of pallets<br />
and layer pads for the glass<br />
packaging industry, and<br />
Once layer pads have been cleaned and dried, they are stacked onto pallets<br />
effective washing of the<br />
plastic layer pads (slip sheets)<br />
is crucial to the success of<br />
the company’s business.<br />
When its main plant<br />
in Stadtlohn was being<br />
upgraded, Demes contacted<br />
IWM as it needed a robust<br />
easy to use washer that could<br />
wash up to 600 layer pads<br />
an hour with a typical size<br />
of 1200 x 1000 mm and with<br />
varying thicknesses. IWM<br />
sales and design engineers<br />
Adpak <strong>MU</strong> S-O 2015 V2_Layout 1 17/07/2015 09:25 Page 1<br />
visited Demes operational<br />
sites in Germany and France<br />
to assess requirements<br />
prior to embarking on a full<br />
engineering design process.<br />
At the end of this<br />
preliminary analysis, IWM<br />
confirmed that the most<br />
appropriate solution would<br />
be a completely bespoke<br />
layer pad washer, designed<br />
for ease of operation and<br />
incorporating a special layer<br />
pad transportation system,<br />
intelligent monitoring and a<br />
pneumatic stacking system.<br />
A key feature of the<br />
proposed design was a<br />
continuous roller-driven pad<br />
transport conveyor system<br />
with spring loaded and<br />
individually driven rubber<br />
rollers.<br />
Pads are subjected to<br />
sustained jetting with hot<br />
water and detergent, which<br />
are both re-circulated from<br />
a storage tank. Energy costs<br />
and environmental impact are<br />
further reduced by making<br />
use of the hot water supply<br />
that is available throughout<br />
the Demes site. The water<br />
for this supply is heated by<br />
burning scrap wooden pallets<br />
that are too damaged for<br />
further use.<br />
To make full use of this<br />
low-cost source of heat,<br />
IWM arranged for the hot<br />
water to be circulated<br />
through specially designed<br />
heat-exchanger coils in the<br />
wash water tank, which<br />
significantly reduces the<br />
amount of electrical heating<br />
needed.<br />

Robotic automation<br />
in food may finally<br />
be coming of age<br />
With the introduction<br />
of the new living<br />
wage and the rise in<br />
the minimum wage,<br />
food producers are<br />
under more pressure than ever to<br />
focus on cost and the efficiency of<br />
their operations. And this, argues<br />
Peter Mellon, ceo of PWR Pack<br />
International is forcing them to<br />
look at robotic automation as a<br />
way of being more efficient and<br />
cost effective.<br />
“The market for robotic<br />
automation in the food industry<br />
in the UK is growing and<br />
investment in this sector has<br />
increased noticeably since the<br />
beginning of 2015,” he says.<br />
“Today, efficiency, productivity and<br />
reliability are crucial factors for<br />
food manufacturers to be able to<br />
remain competitive.”<br />
TECHNOLOGY ADVANCES<br />
Mellon also argues that as<br />
technology is advancing at a fast<br />
pace and robotic systems are now<br />
more reliable and affordable,<br />
customers are getting more<br />
confident in robotic automation as<br />
a way to increase efficiency.<br />
“The time for food producers to<br />
seriously consider robots as part<br />
of their production and packaging<br />
process is no longer the future –<br />
it is happening now,” he continues.<br />
You could argue that food<br />
manufacturing is facing a perfect<br />
storm driven by the living wage; flat<br />
line productivity and food deflation.<br />
Advanced automation and vision<br />
technology as well as robotics can<br />
help address these issues.<br />
Multivac UK is another<br />
company that is finding clients<br />
asking for robotics as part of their<br />
equipment offer. “We are seeing<br />
a lot more interest from customers<br />
interested in and considering<br />
automation in their processes,”<br />
says James Bedford of Multivac.<br />
“And interest does not seem to<br />
be tied down specifically to one<br />
particular segment as we are seeing<br />

benefits including repeatability,<br />
effectiveness, versatility and<br />
efficiency, as well as being easy<br />

are now incorporating robotics<br />
into their packaging machinery,<br />
including Ishida with its latest<br />

the latest collaborative robots,<br />
also known as ‘cobots’, from<br />
Universal Robots. IVS is pitching<br />

Making robots<br />
an every day<br />
UK purchase<br />
Machinery Update talks to Mike Wilson, chairman of BARA<br />
(British Automation & Robot Association) about how robots<br />
can not only increase productivity but also up-skill workers<br />
Automation is a fast growing<br />
industry. Innovations, in all<br />
forms of automation including<br />
robotics, are here to stay,<br />
and continue to transform<br />
the global economy. “Our challenge<br />
is to ensure UK manufacturing makes<br />
the most of this opportunity and grows<br />
in competitiveness and strength by<br />
the successful application of these<br />
technologies,” says Mike Wilson,<br />
chairman of BARA.<br />
By embracing robotics, businesses<br />
can up-skill their current workforce and<br />
increase productivity, he says.<br />
A study looking at potential growth in<br />
productivity and employment, undertaken<br />
by the Copenhagen Business School<br />
‘Automation, labour productivity and<br />
employment – a cross country comparison’<br />
found that UK productivity would increase<br />
by 22.3% if it was as automated as the most<br />
automated country of those surveyed<br />
(the EU and Japan). This is backed up<br />
by a recent report from Barclays Bank –<br />
‘Future Proofing UK Manufacturing’ which<br />
illustrates that the use of robots can create<br />
a more efficient, highly skilled and flexible<br />
workforce in the long term.<br />
The Barclays report also indicates<br />
that the increased productivity through<br />
robotic automation can lead to a growth<br />
in jobs. It suggests that even an increase<br />
of £1.24bn in automation investment<br />
could raise the overall value of the<br />
manufacturing sector by £60.5bn, leading<br />
to an estimated 33,000 manufacturing<br />
jobs by 2020 and 73,000 jobs by 2025.<br />
It is vital that the UK overcomes its<br />
tentative approach to robotics, in order to<br />
address the productivity crisis.<br />
Wilson says we have a choice going<br />
forward: we can either make people work<br />
harder and longer or we can apply the<br />
latest technologies that enable them to<br />
work smarter.<br />
UK PRODUCTIVITY IS LOWER<br />
The productivity of the UK manufacturing<br />
sector has grown by only 0.6 per cent each<br />
year between 2010 and 2015, whereas<br />
France has seen a growth of 2% and<br />
the US an impressive 9%. The UK’s car<br />
makers have seen their productivity grow<br />
well beyond the UK average and are now<br />
producing 11.5 vehicles per employee per<br />
year, compared to 9.3 in 2009. One of the<br />
major drivers for this impressive increase<br />
is their significant investment in robot<br />
automation.<br />
The International Federation of<br />
Robotics (IFR) measures robot density,<br />
which is the number of robots per 10,000<br />
employees. Excluding the automotive<br />
industry, the UK has 31 robots per 10,000<br />
employees, compared with countries<br />
like Germany which has 161 robots<br />
per 10,000 employees. The growing<br />
SUMMARY<br />
EMBRACE ROBOTS<br />
Several international surveys have<br />
outlined the benefits of adopting<br />
robotic technology which include:<br />
■ ■ Up-skilling your current workforce<br />
■ ■ Increasing productivity in double digit terms<br />
■ ■ Keeping up with global competitor standards<br />
■ ■ UK lags behind Europe in robot uptake<br />
■ ■ Finance is quoted as a problem but it<br />
doesn’t have to be as banks will lend<br />
■ ■ Lack of engineering skills can be tackled<br />
■ ■ Collaborative robots are accessible to all<br />
UK automotive industry, by comparison,<br />
uses 734 robots per 10,000 employees.<br />
This indicates that outside of the<br />
automotive sector at least, the UK is still<br />
a long way behind most of our major<br />
industrial competitors.<br />
This demonstrates the challenge we<br />
face. Our experience has found that<br />
introducing robotics to the production<br />
line delivers significant benefits,<br />
through increased productivity and<br />
efficiency, thereby reducing operating<br />
costs and improving return on capital,<br />
as well as improving product quality
www.machineryupdate.co.uk JULY/AUGUST <strong>2016</strong> MACHINERY UPDATE 35<br />
Feature: Name here<br />
The UK’s car makers have seen their productivity grow well beyond the UK average and one of the drivers of this success is their robot investment<br />
and consistency. To be competitive on<br />
a global basis all of our manufacturing<br />
businesses need to look seriously at their<br />
manufacturing operations to determine<br />
how they can make best use of robot<br />
automation to gain the benefits that are<br />
being achieved by their competitors.<br />
There are often three issues cited as the<br />
main barriers to increased use of robots:<br />
• lack of skills,<br />
• lack of awareness of the benefits, and<br />
• difficulties accessing finance.<br />
Taking the finance issue first, the<br />
problem is not a lack of available finance<br />
it is more of an attitude to security. There<br />
are many companies with significant<br />
cash resources and most of the banks<br />
are very willing to provide appropriate<br />
financial packages to assist investment.<br />
The problem relates to the financial<br />
crisis of 2008-2009 and many businesses<br />
remain highly conservative with regard<br />
to investment plans.<br />
There are many SMEs within the<br />
manufacturing industry who believe<br />
that robots are not appropriate for them.<br />
Latest collaborative<br />
robots offer different<br />
industries options<br />
They have a perception that they are<br />
expensive, difficult to use and don’t offer<br />
the skills they require. However, none of<br />
that is true, and we would encourage all<br />
companies to review their manufacturing<br />
operations and investigate where robots<br />
could provide a benefit. BARA and its<br />
members would be very happy to assist.<br />
SUPPORT PRACTICAL TEACHING<br />
The lack of skills is more of a challenge.<br />
It has been predicted there will be 257,000<br />
vacancies in engineering by 2022.<br />
We continue to urge the Government to<br />
support the practical teaching of core<br />
manufacturing and engineering skills<br />
in universities, schools and further<br />
education colleges. In addition, we believe<br />
the Government should work with the<br />
industry to finance educational robotics<br />
packages which would inspire and<br />
educate the engineers of the future.<br />
All businesses can also help by<br />
interacting with their local colleges to<br />
encourage them to provide the facilities<br />
and training necessary to provide a<br />
pipeline of skilled engineers for the future.<br />
Meanwhile, the introduction of<br />
collaborative robots, which can<br />
work alongside people, provides an<br />
opportunity to introduce robots to<br />
operations which were previously<br />
considered inappropriate. A collaborative<br />
robot can undertake the repetitious jobs<br />
while its human co-workers focus on<br />
the more intricate operations.<br />
They also open up robotics to businesses<br />
that haven’t utilised them in the past; that<br />
need flexibility; and that need to integrate<br />
automation more effectively than was the<br />
case previously.<br />
The ease of integration and the flexibility<br />
provided makes these robots particularly<br />
suited to SMEs.<br />
A study by the IFR found that as well<br />
as increasing industry competiveness,<br />
the growth in robotics technologies will<br />
create more than two million jobs in<br />
the next eight years. Importantly, using<br />
robotics can make it as cost effective<br />
for a company to remain in the UK as<br />
to outsource to a lower cost country in<br />
Asia or Europe. It may also allow some<br />
companies to reshore operations that had<br />
previously been outsourced.<br />
It also provides the opportunity for<br />
innovation and up-skilling within a<br />
company as well as improving overall<br />
worker safety.<br />
We want the UK to benefit from the<br />
increased competitiveness and growth<br />
that can result from investment in robot<br />
automation. However, we are currently<br />
lagging behind the rest of the world so<br />
we need to catch up to secure jobs for<br />
the future.<br />

Vision systems<br />
that are seeing<br />
the invisible<br />
Machinery Update talks to UK Industrial Vision Association<br />
(UKIVA) members about the increasing use of applications<br />
featuring wavelengths of light outside the normal visible range<br />
There is an increasing use of<br />
vision applications featuring<br />
wavelengths of light outside<br />
the normal visible range,<br />
according to UKIVA members.<br />
The most popular wavelength range is the<br />
infrared including the newer technique<br />
of hyperspectral imaging, which can<br />
also provide chemical compositional<br />
information. There are also applications<br />
using uv light.<br />
INFRARED IMAGING<br />
The ‘near infrared’ (NIR) runs from<br />
wavelengths of around 750nm to 1μm and<br />
is easy to detect with conventional CCD<br />
sensors. NIR radiation allows subsurface<br />
features of an object to be viewed,<br />
revealing otherwise unobservable<br />
defects. Since some dyes and inks appear<br />
transparent to NIR illumination, it can<br />
be possible to inspect products through<br />
printed packs. It may also be chosen for<br />
imaging applications where the ambient<br />
light is subject to large fluctuations.<br />
‘Short wave infrared’ (SWIR) extends<br />
from around 1 - 5µm, but many cameras<br />
are optimised to operate in the 0.9 – 1.7µm<br />
region. Since silicon is transparent to these<br />
wavelengths, these cameras need special<br />
detectors (often Indium Gallium Arsenide,<br />
InGaAs) but it also makes them useful in<br />
semiconductor applications where they<br />
can ‘look through’ silicon layers. Water,<br />
however, strongly absorbs infrared light in<br />
this region, making it appear opaque in an<br />
infrared image. InGaAs detectors can also<br />
detect infrared radiation emitted by hot<br />
objects (>250deg C), and when calibrated<br />
can measure temperature from 250deg C<br />
to 1800deg C.<br />
NIR APPLICATIONS<br />
Vision systems integrator Olmec UK<br />
has designed an end of line system<br />
for inspection of woundcare product<br />
packaging. At an NIR wavelength of 880nm<br />
the paper packaging material transmits<br />
far more light than the products inside,<br />
allowing their presence and position to be<br />
easily verified including whether any are<br />
trapped in the package seal.<br />
NIR can also be used in combination<br />
with conventional imaging, often in<br />
special dual channel cameras to allow<br />
simultaneous imaging of, say, the print<br />
on a plastic package as well as the<br />
material inside. NIR is also particularly<br />
important in the inspection of foods<br />
such as fruit, vegetables, nuts and meat,<br />
allowing checks to be made for early signs<br />
of subsurface decay, mechanical bruising<br />
and pest damage.<br />
Using NIR in applications to overcome<br />
ambient light variations has been<br />
illustrated by Scorpion Vision in an<br />
application to inspect punched steel<br />
plates used in the production of high<br />
quality industrial wheels. Given the size<br />
and weight of each wheel, the process<br />
must be carried out by robots.<br />
The inspection takes place in a<br />
factory that experiences fluctuating<br />
levels of natural sunlight. By using NIR<br />
illumination to illuminate these plates<br />
from both above and beneath as well as<br />
using different illumination combinations;<br />
a composite image of the steel plate is<br />
created which is independent of the<br />
ambient light and in which all of the<br />
required criteria are visible for inspection.<br />
SWIR APPLICATIONS<br />
The strong IR absorption by water in<br />
SWIR imaging allows easy checking<br />
of fill levels of water-based liquids in<br />
bottling applications. Another interesting<br />
application area is that of identifying<br />
water distribution in plants in order to<br />
improve crop yields.<br />
Allied Vision has worked with<br />
LemnaTec GmbH, a specialist in<br />
laboratory automation systems, to<br />
integrate SWIR imaging into systems<br />
used to provide data on plant growth,<br />
root development, water absorption and<br />
drying, and photosynthesis in living<br />
plants, since aqueous areas within a plant<br />
appear darker.

SWIR inspection of semiconductor (from Alrad)<br />
Detecting cracks during glass jar manufacture by SWIR imaging (Courtesy of Alrad Imaging)<br />
The transparency of silicon to SWIR<br />
radiation facilitates semiconductor and<br />
solar cell inspection. SWIR cameras from<br />
Alrad Imaging have been used to detect<br />
impurities in semiconductor crystal<br />
ingots and cracks in polycrystalline<br />
material. 3D wafer inspection or dicing,<br />
microscope inspection of structures<br />
or wafer alignment and BGA soldering<br />
check through silicon are other typical<br />
applications seen.<br />
High temperature imaging makes<br />
SWIR very useful in the inspection of<br />
hot glass materials early in fabrication.<br />
This includes control of temperature<br />
uniformity during forming and cooling<br />
and the detection of defects such as cracks,<br />
breakage, tamper, contaminants and<br />
chips. SWIR can also be used in welding<br />
applications, since neither the weld pool or<br />
the solidified melt (at 1.2 µm) are obscured<br />
by plasma and metal vapour (at 600 nm).<br />
Altec Engineering has manufactured<br />
a machine to laser weld a plastics<br />
component housing and lid in safety<br />
critical ‘impact sensors’ for motor vehicles.<br />
SWIR imaging during the welding cycle<br />
verifies the heat is generated in the correct<br />
weld path and for the desired time.<br />
UV IMAGING<br />
UV light is an integral requirement in<br />
making dyes fluoresce for imaging.<br />
Sick has designed a system for LOT code<br />
reading on a glass fragrance bottle for a<br />
well-known brand of perfume to prove that<br />
the product is legitimate and not a bootleg.<br />
The code is inkjet printed on the underside<br />
of the bottle using a UV tracer ink (invisible<br />
to the human eye) after it is filled with<br />
fragrance. The vision system uses an<br />
in-built UV LED at 395nm to allow the code<br />
to fluoresce and be detected reliably on the<br />
clear glass bottle even though the printing<br />

location has curved contours which can<br />
cause lighting reflections.<br />
<strong>MU</strong>LTISPECTRAL IMAGING<br />
Hyperspectral imaging opens up new<br />
and innovative inspection possibilities.<br />
The NIR absorption behaviour of organic<br />
objects can provide information on their<br />
chemical structure for identification<br />
and separation. Combining this spectral<br />
information from the scene with the 2D<br />
spatial information offers very powerful<br />
imaging capabilities. The technique<br />
can be used wherever ingredients and<br />
substances, which cannot be detected<br />
by conventional imaging, need to be<br />
identified and separated reliably.<br />
There are opportunities in the<br />
pharmaceutical and medical industries<br />
as well as for food processing, recycling,<br />
mining, wood processing and for<br />
document inspection. It can also be used<br />
for aerial imaging for agriculture.<br />
The multi channel images produced<br />
can be readily analysed using software<br />
such as MVTec’s HALCON available<br />
from Multipix Imaging. Processing of<br />
hyperspectral image data can also be<br />
handled using dedicated ‘Perception<br />
Studio’ software from Stemmer Imaging<br />
which enables the distinction of various<br />
characteristics (such as proportions of<br />
water and fat, types of plastic and chemical<br />
agents or other organic substances).<br />

Robotic chef is<br />
kitchen-ready<br />
OAL and the University of Lincoln has launched<br />
what they say, is a food making game changer<br />
OAL has been working with<br />
the University of Lincoln at<br />
the National Centre for Food<br />
Manufacturing to demonstrate<br />
to manufacturers the potential<br />
of what can be achieved with robotics<br />
technology in food preparation.<br />
The company has developed APRIL at<br />
the site, a robotic chef that allows users<br />
to scale up how chefs prepare restaurant<br />
food using flexible robotic cells. APRIL<br />
links proven cooking and materials<br />
handling technologies with automated<br />
robotic ingredient loading.<br />
APRIL manufacturing cells will<br />
emulate professional chefs providing<br />
the flexibility consumers desire in ready<br />
meals at a lower cost than traditional<br />
processing methods,says OAL.<br />
“Following discussion and analysis by<br />
industry experts, a 7 to 14% bottom line<br />
improvement could be achieved with<br />
the adoption of the technology within<br />
existing chilled food plants,” explains<br />
Jake Norman of OAL.<br />
Robotics can help food manufacturers<br />
in areas such as cost reduction,<br />
production flexibility, quality and<br />
consistency, food safety and traceability<br />
as well as scalability.<br />
FLEXIBILITY IS CRITICAL<br />
The flexibility of the system is critical<br />
in allowing soft reconfiguration to<br />
accommodate evolving consumer<br />
tastes; attempts at previously achieving<br />
automation have often missed this key<br />
component resulting in costly white<br />
elephants, says Norman.<br />
Robotic chef systems enable the use<br />
of multiple processing devices that<br />
aren’t restricted to a specific vessel. The<br />
interoperability of the system means it is<br />
very easy to add new cooking technologies<br />
at a low cost, while increasing utilisation<br />
of devices by processing in parallel.<br />
OAL says APRIL will improve food quality<br />
For instance, a new device can be easily<br />
added to a manufacturing cell to produce<br />
more exotic products.<br />
By creating gravity and removing the<br />
need for all pipework, pumps and valves,<br />
APRIL systems are designed to produce<br />
more consistent and better quality<br />
products, faster than current processes<br />
with significantly reduced ingredient<br />
wastage and energy costs, while taking<br />
up to 80% less factory space.<br />
“We are excited by the new thinking<br />
involved in the APRIL robotic chef<br />
approach,” says Simon Lushey, specialist<br />
food technical manager at M&S.<br />
“Modular robotics cells may transform<br />
food manufacturing kitchens, by<br />
breaking up processes in a different<br />
way, in doing so providing a step change<br />
in performance.<br />
Lushey believes the trigger for their<br />
introduction will be the ability to improve<br />
taste, consistency, quality and value of<br />
consumer products.<br />

Schubert has a new<br />
way to find and<br />
also rectify faults<br />
Anew type of tool control<br />
developed by Schubert<br />
is offering novel ways of<br />
data exchange within<br />
its TLM packaging<br />
machines. As UK sales director<br />
Mark Jocelyn explains, it allows the<br />
machine to ‘talk’ and offer feedback<br />
to the operator or technician to<br />
make their lives easier.<br />
“Not only does the WK5 controller<br />
make it easier for operators to run our<br />
TLM machines, but it also makes it<br />
simpler for line workers to maintain<br />
them,” he tells Machinery Update.<br />
During day-to-day operations,<br />
customers benefit from reduced<br />
downtime and reliable machine<br />
operation through clear error<br />
messages and reduced error sources.<br />
The WK5 also opens up entirely<br />
new development possibilities<br />
and, together with automatic tool<br />
exchange, it represents a further<br />
step towards fully automatic<br />
machine maintenance.<br />
Since the WK5 is essentially a<br />
bus enabling data to be exchanged<br />
between several users within a<br />
connection, additional information<br />
can also be transmitted – such<br />
as user-specific parameters,<br />
additional information or even<br />
maintenance information,<br />
depending on the type of sensor.<br />
For example, a light barrier<br />
can convey information on the<br />
degree of contamination or aging<br />
phenomena. This means that<br />
data on the probability of failure<br />
will be transmitted before it<br />
actually happens.<br />
Schubert has always looked<br />
well beyond pure mechanics when<br />
engineering its packaging machines<br />
with its VMS control system.<br />
Reliable mechanics, intelligent<br />
control and easily interchangeable<br />
robot tools have always been<br />
intrinsic to Schubert’s TLM<br />
machines, says Jocelyn.<br />
A further development is the<br />
first packaging machine designed<br />
without an electrical cabinet.<br />
Schubert System Elektronik (SSE),<br />
Predicting<br />
unit needs<br />
Ralf Schubert<br />
was looking for<br />
a solution to<br />
assign errors to<br />
a specific sensor<br />
or actuator on the<br />
TLM’s packaging<br />
robots<br />
a Schubert subsidiary, has brought<br />
the latest generation of the WK5<br />
tool control to market, which links<br />
the control level to the sensors and<br />
actuators of the lowest field level –<br />
ie the tools on the individual robots.<br />
“By using IO-Link, it is possible<br />
to transmit various types of<br />
data and more complex data<br />
to actuators or sensors with a<br />
single cable,” explains md Ralf<br />
Schubert. “Since each wiring can<br />
be a potential source of error, our<br />
new control prevents errors and,<br />
with its exceptional flexibility<br />
when exchanging data, it expands<br />
the development possibilities of<br />
Data on the probability of<br />
failure will now be transmitted<br />
before it has actually happened<br />
Schubert’s robotic tools,” he says.<br />
“With the WK5, we are bridging<br />
the IO-based, modern bus systems<br />
and a physically straightforward<br />
IO signal,” he explains. “This<br />
enables error messages to be clearly<br />
assigned,” says Schubert.<br />
The WK5 is designed such that<br />
every IO-Link-enabled component<br />
can be controlled. The new control<br />
technology opens the door for the<br />
development of further applications<br />
for Schubert’s robot tools.<br />
And, over the next few years, it<br />
will entail further innovations in<br />
the field of automated packaging<br />
applications, says the company.<br />
In essence, the WK-5 functions<br />
as a gateway for the connection<br />
of intelligent sensors and actuators<br />
on the robot arm, or on the<br />
changeable tool of a Schubert<br />
packaging machine.<br />

44 MACHINERY UPDATE JULY/AUGUST <strong>2016</strong> www.machineryupdate.co.uk<br />
Feature: Automation, robotics and vision<br />
Many<br />
manufacturing<br />
and processing<br />
companies<br />
have some<br />
production machinery that<br />
has been in service for a<br />
generation or more. In some<br />
cases, the machinery will<br />
have had little more than<br />
basic maintenance while in<br />
other cases there will have<br />
been periodic refurbishments<br />
and upgrades or even –<br />
occasionally – repurposing<br />
to a different task. Older<br />
machinery may also have<br />
had its motors rewound<br />
or replaced. When motors<br />
are replaced it is often with<br />
modern more energy efficient<br />
ones or may include the<br />
introduction of variable speed<br />
electric drives to improve<br />
efficiency and enhance<br />
capabilities.<br />
However, when it comes<br />
to the machine’s control<br />
system – slightly different<br />
dynamics come into play, says<br />
Jeremy Shinton of Mitsubishi<br />
Electric. Mechanical relays<br />
and switches may have<br />
worn out or been broken<br />
and been replaced. Solid<br />
state electronics however<br />
can appear to be virtually<br />
indestructible and sometimes<br />
seem to go on forever.<br />
Most industrial machinery<br />
is controlled by a PLC or<br />
similar controller (often<br />
forming a node within a<br />
larger control system). These<br />
can do their job so well for so<br />
long that they end up being<br />
all but forgotten by the plant<br />
engineers, who may then be<br />
taken unawares when the<br />
PLC does finally go wrong.<br />
It is not unreasonable for<br />
controllers to eventually<br />
develop a fault – for example<br />
in a PSU (power supply unit)<br />
or CPU (central processor<br />
unit) or a mechanical issue<br />
with a relay output card. What<br />
happens if it does stop? There<br />
are a multitude of things to<br />
consider, for instance:<br />
• How much does it cost per<br />
hour while the repair is<br />
being done?<br />
The greater diagnostic options built into today’s controllers deliver reductions in downtime while their increased<br />
programming capacity enables machinery enhancements which can lead to an increase in productivity<br />
Dealing with<br />
obsolescence<br />
Machinery Update talks to Mitsubishi Electric about<br />
maintaining/updating/replacing automation technology<br />
• Once fixed do you just<br />
forget about it until the<br />
next time?<br />
• Would you be better<br />
off replacing the whole<br />
controller with a new one<br />
and if so should you go for<br />
a like-for-like swap out or<br />
upgrade to a state of the art<br />
control unit?<br />
• If you upgrade, does this<br />
affect other parts of the<br />
control system and thus<br />
lead to more work and<br />
expense?<br />
Some manufacturers<br />
of PLCs are not good at<br />
backwards compatibility,<br />
so if you replace a unit<br />
that is say five years old,<br />
There are many benefits to<br />
replacing a 20-30 year old PLC<br />
such as new communication options<br />
you will probably also<br />
have to re-engineer other<br />
parts of the control system<br />
as well. However, other<br />
PLC manufacturers pride<br />
themselves on maintaining<br />
continuity with each new<br />
generation of controller.<br />
So for instance, Mitsubishi<br />
Electric A- and Q-series<br />
controllers manufactured<br />
back in the 1980s could be<br />
directly swapped out for<br />
today’s model PLCs at any<br />
time. Furthermore they were<br />
supported in terms of spares,<br />
user manuals, software etc all<br />
the way up to 2012 (basically
www.machineryupdate.co.uk JULY/AUGUST <strong>2016</strong> MACHINERY UPDATE 45<br />
over a generation). Post-<br />
1980s Mitsubishi Electric<br />
controllers are still being<br />
supported. “This is part<br />
of a cherished Mitsubishi<br />
Electric philosophy, in which<br />
customer support is focussed<br />
on maintaining clients’<br />
production,” says Shinton.<br />
Eventually there will come<br />
a time when clients decide<br />
to upgrade a controller. At<br />
Mitsubishi Electric, we have<br />
adopted a plug and play<br />
methodology to upgrading,<br />
which allows customers to<br />
replace their system in stages,<br />
at a time and to a schedule that<br />
is most convenient to them.<br />
To facilitate this, new parts<br />
are always sized and shaped<br />
so that they can fit into the<br />
space vacated by the old ones<br />
and reuse the existing fittings.<br />
This allows the parts to be<br />
swapped with the minimum<br />
expenditure of time and effort<br />
and means that any system,<br />
no matter how complex can be<br />
renewed one part at a time if<br />
necessary, he says.<br />
compared to having to start<br />
all over again. In fact many<br />
Mitsubishi Electric customers<br />
use this system to progressively<br />
upgrade their control systems<br />
and processes one step at a<br />
time, with minimum fuss and<br />
the confidence that they will<br />
be supported for years to come,<br />
says Shinton. Unsurprisingly,<br />
additional benefits often<br />
accrue while upgrading<br />
control equipment.<br />

NO DISRUPTION<br />
Thus it is always possible<br />
to upgrade a system in a<br />
timeframe without disruption<br />
to production - even if the<br />
plant runs 24 hours a day six<br />
and a half days a week, in<br />
which case the project will be<br />
executed in small steps, each<br />
sized to be achievable in the<br />
small time slots available.<br />
Plants with limited<br />
shutdown periods can also<br />
utilise this upgrade method.<br />
There are few industrial<br />
projects where the first<br />
questions are not about<br />
costs and disruption to<br />
production. With Mitsubishi<br />
Electric’s thorough backwards<br />
compatibility, the cost of change<br />
is minimal – certainly when<br />
REPLACING ANY<br />
PLC<br />
needs to be managed<br />
effectively at a site<br />
See the difference that robot vision could<br />
make to your process.<br />
With many of the human senses now being replicated by technology,<br />
these same evolutionary advantages are bringing benefits to<br />
manufacturers across the world including greater consistency and<br />
precision through to improved hygiene levels and productivity. Our<br />
Integrated Vision, for example, is a plug and play package which<br />

Dutch company Niverplast<br />

packaging equipment<br />
for bread, meat, fish,<br />

with machine vision technology<br />
from long term partner Stemmer<br />
Imaging for quality checking and<br />
counting to ensure that customers<br />
receive the correct quantities of<br />
perfectly formed bread rolls.<br />
The pre-baked bread (such as<br />
rolls or baguettes) is transferred<br />
from the freezer to the packaging<br />
machine conveyor either<br />
automatically or manually and first<br />
passes through a metal detector<br />
to check for any metal particles.<br />
The first machine vision inspection<br />
station then provides a quality<br />
check. Geometrical dimensions<br />
such as length and width of the<br />
baked goods are recorded and<br />
analysed which ensures that torn<br />

be identified and be automatically<br />
diverted away from the<br />
packaging line.<br />
In addition, the system also<br />
checks other parameters such as<br />
the grooves in the top of the<br />
baguettes to ensure these are correct.<br />
This presents a particular challenge<br />
since there are a number of natural<br />
variations here and the system needs<br />

these and any unwanted cuts or<br />

automation auxiliary systems have<br />
relied on separate controllers or<br />
gateways. With openROBOTICS,<br />
the Comau robot is selected<br />
from B&R’s Automation Studio<br />
engineering software and simply<br />
added as additional axes of motion<br />
in the machine or production<br />
line’s program.<br />
Besides the ease of integration,<br />
openROBOTICS also enables all<br />
axes to rely on a single clock for<br />
perfect synchronisation which<br />
conventional solutions cannot<br />

Synching a<br />

Perfect<br />
synchronisation<br />
between robots,<br />
machines and<br />
production lines<br />
is offered via<br />
the B&R and<br />
Comau tie-in<br />
achieve. This feature results in<br />
the end user experiencing fewer<br />
unplanned downtime interruptions<br />
due to out of sync axes and a<br />
single engineer or technician<br />
can commission, install, or<br />
troubleshoot a robot cell with<br />
knowledge of only a single software<br />
tool and engineering environment,<br />
namely Automation Studio.<br />
This solution is based on a<br />
full line up of Comau robots that<br />
handle payloads ranging from<br />
3 to 650kg.<br />
Combine this with B&R’s<br />
networked safety solution and safe<br />
motion hardware, says Temple,<br />
and line builders and machine<br />
manufacturers are able to unleash<br />
the robots from their cage and<br />
increase human robot collaboration<br />
with high payload robots.<br />
Robots offered by Comau<br />
can be unleashed from their<br />
cages with B&R’s solutions<br />
At the very least, robotic cell<br />
footprints can be reduced and<br />
worker productivity increased<br />
based on segmentation of the cell<br />
and improved safety reaction times.<br />
A demo cell has been erected by<br />
EngRoTec in Hünfeld Germany who<br />
has installed a similar solution at<br />
a large German automotive OEM<br />
for a boot lid installation onto the<br />
tailgate of a vehicle. The company<br />
found that by using openROBOTICS<br />
instead of a conventional solution,<br />
the safety response time of the<br />
system decreased from 430ms<br />
to 320ms. This represented in a<br />
greater than 40% reduction in<br />
the safe zone.<br />
“What makes B&R different<br />
is its constant investment in<br />
R&D, between 15-20% each year,<br />
and visitors to the PPMA Show<br />
in September will see results of<br />
this on the stand,” Temple tells<br />
Machinery Update. Indeed, it will<br />
be the first time many of these<br />
products will be shown outside<br />
of the Hannover Fair.<br />

Feature: Automation, robotics and vision<br />
Roger Harris is<br />
regional sales<br />
manager at Fanuc<br />
UK and here, he<br />
talks about what<br />
determines the choice of pick<br />
and place robot to handle<br />
product X at point Y on a line<br />
including what to consider<br />
when determining the best<br />
robot arm for the job.<br />
“Readers with robot-shaped<br />
gaps in their production<br />
lines could benefit from this<br />
brief overview of the main<br />
considerations,” he says.<br />
CYCLE TIME VERSUS<br />
SPEED<br />
Most manufacturers know<br />
that in relation to any type of<br />
equipment, ‘speed’ is often<br />
less useful as a concept than it<br />
might appear. This is as true of<br />
robots as it is of other machines.<br />
Most robots can be<br />
programmed to move extremely<br />
quickly – up to about 2,500mm<br />
a second, but they will need<br />
to ramp up to this top speed,<br />
and then slowdown from it.<br />
When the distance of travel is<br />
short, the arm will never reach<br />
maximum speed. Sometimes,<br />
we slow the arm down in order<br />
to reduce the cycle time.<br />
PAYLOAD<br />
A key element in productivity<br />
calculations will be the payload<br />
of the chosen robot arm, and<br />
how closely the integrator<br />
feels it is wise to approach the<br />
rated weight. For example, in<br />
a pick and place application,<br />
a magnetic end effector may<br />
be able to lift, say, 20 cans at a<br />
time. But choosing a smaller<br />
number may make more sense.<br />
This will avoid excessive stress<br />
on the bearings and joints, and<br />
so prolong the life of the robot.<br />
But remember to take into<br />
account the weight of the end<br />
effector. That is part of the<br />
payload, too. In fact, it can<br />
form a substantial proportion<br />
of that payload.<br />
COST AND RETURN<br />
ON INVESTMENT<br />
Where an individual product<br />
or format (especially in food<br />
With over 300 variants of robots, Fanuc offers guidance on selecting the correct robot arm for pick and place units<br />

should be used to specify the best robot arm for the job<br />
and drink) may only survive<br />
for two or three years, this<br />
ability to plan beyond one<br />
application is especially<br />
important when calculating<br />
return on investment (ROI).<br />
In fact, when a robot supplier or<br />
integrator visits a prospective<br />
customer, the first task is<br />
to determine whether the<br />
proposed process is viable at<br />
all. Will the customer actually<br />
see a return on its investment?<br />
Once that basic viability<br />
is established, the precise<br />
mechanics, detailed<br />
specification, layout,<br />
installation cost and ROI can<br />
be determined.<br />
It is because the working<br />
life of the robot is at the core<br />
of any ROI calculation that<br />
Looking after a robot starts with<br />
ensuring that you have the correct<br />
specification to begin with<br />
decisions about cycle time,<br />
payload and overall usage<br />
are of such importance.<br />
REACH AND NUMBER<br />
OF AXES<br />
If you are fortunate enough to<br />
be designing a new packaging<br />
line from scratch, then there<br />
should be few challenges<br />
in maximising efficiency<br />
and performance in the pick<br />
and place robot. But if the<br />
line already exists, you are<br />
going to have to conform to<br />
it. You may have to perform<br />
some ‘surgery’ on the line,<br />
but you would normally try<br />
to minimise this. It is not
www.machineryupdate.co.uk JULY/AUGUST <strong>2016</strong> MACHINERY UPDATE 51<br />
only cost which is typically<br />
kept to a minimum, but also<br />
disruption to the line and<br />
production.<br />
One important element<br />
in the calculations around<br />
a given pick and place<br />
installation will be the<br />
reach of the robot. Making<br />
changes to the line to require<br />
less stretch in the robot may<br />
improve productivity and<br />
therefore make sense in terms<br />
of total cost. It may also mean<br />
that a lower specification<br />
robot is needed.<br />
There is a general<br />
assumption that the bigger<br />
the robot, the longer the reach<br />
will be, and the heavier the<br />
payload. This ‘rule’ normally<br />
holds, even though there<br />
are exceptions.<br />
It is not only the required<br />
reach of the robot which may<br />
be influenced by the layout<br />
of the infeed and outfeed<br />
conveyors and of the robot<br />
cell as a whole. A 6-axis robot<br />
may be needed in applications<br />
which would otherwise suit<br />
four axes of movement because<br />
of unavoidable obstacles in the<br />
factory which the arm has to<br />
clear or negotiate.<br />
HYGIENE RATING<br />
While end of line robot<br />
applications will not demand<br />
any special hygiene ratings,<br />
manufacturers will have<br />
to pay special attention<br />
to requirements at the<br />
production stage, particularly<br />
if robots are pick and placing<br />
pharmaceuticals or ‘naked’<br />
food products.<br />
Not every model is available<br />
in all hygiene grades. Some<br />
6-axis robots may offer<br />
specifications to the splashproof<br />
IP67 grade but not to<br />

Feature: Automation, robotics and vision<br />
On the left is the meat joint and on the right is the resultant point cloud when using the 2D/3D scanning technology developed by wenglor<br />
Sensing the right sizes<br />
Machinery Update reports on the latest scanning technology launched<br />
by wenglor earlier this year to provide accurate portion cuts for foodstuffs<br />
The 2D/3D scanning technology<br />
wenglor demonstrated on its<br />
stand at Drives & Controls in<br />
April proved very popular with<br />
manufacturers and machine<br />
builders in the food industry thanks<br />
to its ability to help create an accurate<br />
sliced portion.<br />
According to James Mayo, company<br />
director of wenglor in the UK, visitors<br />
thought that the ability to scan up to<br />
360 degrees of the product with<br />
wenglor’s standard application software<br />
makes the technology ideally suited to<br />
volumetric measurements in the food<br />
industry. Visitors also learnt that the<br />
scanners are ideal for use on food because<br />
of the blue laser option<br />
which is perfect for accurate<br />
and reliable scanning of<br />
organic materials.<br />
PIONEERING<br />
With more than 25 years of<br />
experience and over 15,000<br />
installed solutions, the<br />
company says wenglorMEL<br />
is a pioneer in the field of<br />
two and three-dimensional<br />
object measurement.<br />
These 2D/3D sensors<br />
project a laser line onto the<br />
object to be measured and<br />
then record it by means of<br />
an integrated camera. Two<br />
and three-dimensional<br />
surface and volume profiles can then be<br />
calculated via software with the help of<br />
point clouds.<br />
The 2D/3D Profile sensors in the<br />
weCat3D series take advantage of the<br />
laser triangulation measuring method.<br />
After the laser line is projected onto the<br />
object to be measured the integrated<br />
camera records the line via the<br />
triangulation angle and so the sensor<br />
is capable of generating a precise<br />
height profile.<br />
Stringing these 2D profiles together<br />
along with position data via encoder on<br />
the sensor makes it possible to generate<br />
a 3D point cloud which can then be<br />
analysed by software. Thanks to its<br />
A typical four scanner system that can now be supplied by wenglor<br />
uniform open interface, the weCat3D<br />
series can be incorporated by means<br />
of the DLL program library or the GigE<br />
Vision standard without an additional<br />
control unit. Alternatively, wenglor<br />
offers its own software packages for<br />
implementing a bespoke application.<br />
These weCat3D sensors are available<br />
with red or blue laser light in laser<br />
classes 1, 2M, 3R and 3B.<br />
The standard VisionApp360 software<br />
assures full 360deg profile detection when<br />
using several weCat3D Profile sensors.<br />
The sensors can be synchronised and<br />
calibrated via the convenient user<br />
interface so they are ideally suited<br />
for volumetric measurements.<br />
“The application-optimised<br />
software is part of a perfect<br />
complete solution consisting<br />
of sensors, control unit and<br />
software and wenglor has the<br />
know how to make the system<br />
work in practice in the real world,”<br />
Mayo tells Machinery Update.<br />
“Possible applications for<br />
the sensor technology are<br />
limitless,” says Mayo, “and<br />
within the food and packaging<br />
sectors the current applications<br />
include completeness checks of<br />
various food products, volume<br />
measurement of packages and<br />
checking items on pallets.”<br />

ABB talks about<br />
the advances made<br />
in robot vision<br />
The quest to mimic and<br />
incorporate human<br />
senses into robots to<br />
improve their efficiency<br />
has been, and continues<br />
to be, an ongoing one, says ABB<br />
Robotics, and one area in which<br />
particular breakthroughs have<br />
been made is in robot vision.<br />
By combining the latest HD full<br />
colour vision technology with<br />
intuitive software and integrating<br />
it into robots, it has been possible<br />
to open up an expanded range<br />
of production applications<br />
where robotic automation can<br />
be deployed.<br />
With these developments,<br />
robots in picking, pack and place<br />
applications can effectively<br />
‘see’ and recognise items on the<br />
production line by their size,<br />
dimensions, shape and colour,<br />
regardless of orientation.<br />
That this technology can bring<br />
significant benefits has already<br />
been demonstrated in a number<br />
of real-life projects by ABB.<br />
One example is on Kraft Foods’<br />
Roses and Heroes confectionery<br />
production lines, which each<br />
handle ten different types of<br />
chocolates. Using defined process<br />
lines at various locations within<br />
the plant, the products used to<br />
be boxed and transported to two<br />
manual packing plants located<br />
on different floors. Once the<br />
chocolates were tipped into their<br />
designated hoppers, the empty<br />
cardboard boxes were crushed<br />
and removed. Kraft decided that<br />
robotic automation could help to<br />
greatly enhance efficiency as well<br />
as reducing the generation<br />
of cardboard waste.<br />

CKF Systems provided a solution<br />
- an automated robot system with<br />

played a major role in boosting<br />

consistent high quality cut meant<br />
that cycle times and product<br />
wastage were high. Approached<br />
by co-founder James Middleton,<br />
ABB systems integrator Newtech<br />
applied a mechanically PTFE<br />
coated blade to an ABB IRB 1200<br />
as a solution. Integrated with 2D<br />
vision, the robot uses the data to<br />
achieve a perfect and accurate<br />
cut as well as passing the blade<br />
through an oil reservoir to ensure<br />
a suitable surface before cutting.<br />

improved productivity, the<br />

Integrated vision also played<br />
a major part in transforming<br />

at flatbreads manufacturer<br />
Honeytop Speciality Foods. To<br />

cell comprising four FlexPickers,<br />
capable of handling 110 picks per<br />
minute. Each robot is mounted<br />
with a four-gigabit Ethernet camera<br />
which is used to locate each<br />
pancake’s position before picking<br />
and placing it onto the central<br />
conveyor. In addition, the vision<br />
software has been configured to<br />
recognise overlapping products<br />
so that the right stack of pancakes<br />
is packaged, preventing short<br />
stacks or overflows.<br />

The new generation ring wrapping machine presented by Robopac Sistemi is the top of the range in<br />
palletised load wrapping technology innovation. Two brushless motors drive the pre-stretch carriage<br />
making it extremely versatile and accurate in dosing film drive and pre-stretch (up to 400%),<br />
permitting continuous variations within the wrapping cycle controlled from the panel. The new<br />
control software permits to adjust all possible wrapping parameters from the control panel to create<br />
over 300 different combinations of wrapping recipes, allowing the Genesis Cube to adapt perfectly to<br />
every variation of product and format.<br />
To guarantee load protection against dust and water, the new TOP INSIDE device unwinds exactly<br />

highest material savings. The wrapping machine is equipped with the "flexible ro-ping" system to<br />
guarantee better load stability and with the patented ARC Automatic Real Change system, which<br />
guarantees longer productive time without direct access of opera-tor inside the machine.<br />

Intelligent sensing<br />
advances are now<br />
mirrored in robots<br />
3D vision has been<br />
liberated and has<br />
shrugged off the<br />
shackles of its<br />
exclusive past and is<br />
being delivered into the hands of<br />
the many; now more accessible,<br />
affordable and easier to install and<br />
commission,” says Neil Sandhu,<br />
national product manager –<br />
Imaging, Measurement & Ranging<br />
at Sick UK.<br />
These advances in intelligent<br />
sensing are finding synergies<br />
with parallel developments in<br />
collaborative robotics and factorywide<br />
communications.<br />
The opportunities are there for<br />
the taking and for food, fmcg and<br />
packaging industries; easier 3D<br />
may accelerate greater robot<br />
adoption, he argues.<br />
More than anything, robots need<br />
to have ‘eyes’ to operate successfully.<br />
But, in the past, using full 3D<br />
vision has been limited by the large<br />
amounts of data generated and the<br />
slow processing speeds. Now, at<br />
last, 3D vision truly can be ‘plug and<br />
play – out of the box’ even for robot<br />
integration. The recently launched<br />
Sick TriSpector 1000, for example,<br />
can be set up without bespoke<br />
program writing, yet its functionality<br />
supports quality inspection and<br />
high speed production control.<br />
The processes of calibration and<br />
co-ordinate transformation are fully<br />
integrated in the sensor, so it can be<br />
installed and connected to a robot<br />
controller in minutes.<br />
ACCURATE CALCULATION<br />
Critically, 3D vision offers the ability<br />
to accurately calculate the depth<br />
and 3D profile of an object in x,<br />
y and z axes to support reliable<br />
robot gripping and to cope with<br />
components with curved or more<br />
complex profiles.<br />
At a well-known bakery, Sick’s<br />
IVC3D vision system supports<br />
various stages of the production<br />
process. Here, 3D scanning of the<br />
baked loaves prior to wrapping tells<br />
3D vision is<br />
now set free<br />
The Sick IVC-3D<br />
images the bread<br />
prior to wrapping<br />
to detect size and<br />
location for the<br />
robot on the line<br />
the robots the width, length, height<br />
and volume and enables them to<br />
calculate the centre of each loaf,<br />
to guide the gripping arm to pick<br />
up the loaf at the optimum point,<br />
as well as to reject any over-sized<br />
loaves of bread.<br />
Similarly, the wrapped bread is<br />
loaded into supermarket trays as<br />
it travels down a conveyor, with<br />
another Sick camera giving the<br />
3D co-ordinates to the robot for it to<br />
load into the tray.<br />
In each case, using 3D vision<br />
means the co-ordinate data is<br />
calculated and sent in the three x,<br />
y and z axes. The ‘z’ axis or height<br />
Today, 3D vision can be<br />
truly ‘plug and play’ to make<br />
their adoption even simpler<br />
plane tells the robot how far down<br />
to pick up the bread accurately;<br />
too far and the bread could be<br />
damaged, not far enough and the<br />
loaf could be dropped.<br />
IMAGE ANALYSIS<br />
Complete image analysis is carried<br />
on board the device to determine<br />
size, location and set tolerances.<br />
An Ethernet interface and a simple<br />
calibration wizard make it easy to<br />
calibrate and communicate<br />
the data to the robot’s inbuilt<br />
co-ordinate system.<br />
In future, robots will<br />
increasingly have to make sense<br />
of more randomly-positioned and<br />
varied products and flexibility<br />
is paramount to support<br />
greater product diversification,<br />
customisation and smaller<br />
production batches, says Sandhu.<br />

Many in the<br />
food and<br />
drink industry<br />
understand<br />
the benefits of<br />
automation, but, asks Barry<br />
Graham, automation product<br />
marketing manager at Omron,<br />
what degree of integration<br />
should companies be aiming<br />
for today?<br />
Automation is sometimes<br />
talked about as an end in<br />
itself, or as a way of addressing<br />
specific issues: cutting labour<br />
costs, moving to longer shifts,<br />
improving quality consistency,<br />
and so on. These are all valid<br />
objectives, but can loom so<br />
large that they obscure the<br />
wider supply chain landscape<br />
– and the longer term benefits<br />
beyond. I would argue that<br />
today’s machine control<br />
systems can play a prime role<br />
in allowing manufacturers to<br />
focus on their future needs and<br />
opportunities as they relate to<br />
automation, says Graham.<br />
FINE TUNED EFFICIENCY<br />
If automation offers efficiency<br />
in comparison with manual or<br />
semi-automatic alternatives, the<br />
most convincing type of system<br />
allows that efficiency to be fine<br />
tuned and improved. Original<br />
equipment manufacturers<br />
(OEMs) understand the value of<br />
measuring overall equipment<br />
effectiveness (OEE), and<br />
are increasingly passing<br />
this knowledge on to their<br />
customers.<br />
OEE, combining<br />
calculations of availability,<br />
performance and quality, can<br />
constitute a precise metric.<br />
As such, it allows machinery<br />
manufacturers to identify and<br />
address their own bottlenecks.<br />
But it can also act as a<br />
common currency, permitting<br />
OEMs and their customers<br />
to follow (and derive mutual<br />
benefit from) an increase in a<br />
particular line’s OEE score.<br />
When it comes to the<br />
‘availability’ component to<br />
OEE, the latest generation of<br />
machinery controls can lift<br />
efficiency on a number<br />
of levels.<br />
The latest controls on offer from Omron lift line efficiencies and also improve overall equipment effectiveness<br />
Controlling<br />
your future<br />
Machinery Update talks to Omron’s Barry Graham<br />
about the broad potential of today’s control systems<br />
At Omron, we have a<br />
number of solutions in<br />
this area. Function blocks<br />
within our Sysmac Library,<br />
for example, include one<br />
focused on reduced machine<br />
downtime. Simply in terms of<br />
fast changeover, the Sysmac<br />
control platform offers huge<br />
benefits. Whether triggered<br />
directly by the operator or<br />
an input device, such as a<br />
barcode scanner, there is no<br />
delay in resetting a machine to<br />
new parameters.<br />
But the ability to gather<br />
real-time data boosts machine<br />
availability in other ways.<br />
In what might be termed<br />
‘preventative diagnostics’,<br />
the performance of key<br />
components such as sensors<br />
and servo drives can be<br />
monitored and any adverse<br />
trends spotted. So if a servo is<br />
losing torque or a sensor going<br />
out of alignment, for example,<br />
the controller will flag this<br />
up before it constitutes a<br />
serious failure.<br />
OUT-OF-SPEC TRENDS<br />
That way, rather than causing<br />
an unscheduled line stoppage,<br />
it can be dealt with during<br />
scheduled maintenance.<br />
Of course, out-of-specification<br />
trends in key line equipment<br />
can impact negatively on final<br />
product quality, too. Even<br />
when the product remains<br />
technically ‘safe’, today’s<br />
brand owners will not tolerate<br />
anything which detracts<br />
from its image or reputation.<br />
Because Omron’s control<br />
network utilises real-time,<br />
sub-millisecond EtherCAT<br />
connections, critical data on<br />
torque values (for example)<br />
will not be missed in the<br />
way it might be on an<br />
analogue system.<br />
Another measure of the<br />
effectiveness of automation<br />
is the degree to which the<br />
different control functions
www.machineryupdate.co.uk JULY/AUGUST <strong>2016</strong> MACHINERY UPDATE 59<br />
are integrated on a single<br />
platform, accessed from<br />
a single human machine<br />
interface (HMI). On today’s<br />
more complex lines where<br />
so many different aspects of<br />
‘automation’ come together,<br />
this is of huge importance.<br />
At Omron, we talk about<br />
integrated input, logic, output,<br />
safety and robotics. This<br />
means that everything from<br />
inverter drives and servos to<br />
sensors and vision systems (as<br />
well as safety and robotics) sit<br />
together and work together.<br />
DATA EXCHANGE<br />
But to take the benefits of<br />
automation to an additional<br />
level, manufacturers will<br />
want to engineer data<br />
interchange between plant<br />
level and management –<br />
or enterprise – level.<br />
Here, Omron uses EtherNet<br />
IP as its communications<br />
network allowing the transfer<br />
of data from the factory to the<br />
database (or cloud) in real<br />
time.<br />
Ultimately, factories will<br />
be taking automation to the<br />
level of the much debated<br />
Industry 4.0. This will involve<br />
not only fluid data exchange<br />
between the different layers<br />
in the business, but will<br />
also be based on the ability<br />
of different parts of the<br />
production line to ‘talk’ to<br />
each other. These networks<br />
will enter new territory when<br />
equipment not only sends<br />
and receives real-time data<br />
from multiple sources but also<br />
initiates new actions on the<br />
basis of that data.<br />
This could take the form of<br />
product changeovers on the<br />
basis of Just-in-Time demand<br />
or ingredient availability. But it<br />
could also take the form, say, of<br />
a diagnostic capability which<br />
detects the need for a new spare<br />
part, interrogates the stores<br />
database to see if that part is<br />
available and, if not, triggers<br />
an email to order it.<br />

BitFlow’s Donal<br />
Waide talks about<br />
CoaXPress safety<br />
CoaXPress is now<br />
recognised as the most<br />
reliable of all machine<br />
vision interface standards,<br />
especially among those<br />
integrators in North America<br />
designing for highly-demanding<br />
semiconductor and life science<br />
applications, says Donal Waide,<br />
director of sales and marketing<br />
for BitFlow, a US manufacturer of<br />
CoaXPress frame grabbers.<br />
Much of the momentum behind<br />
CoaXPress is based on its blazingly<br />
fast speeds, and its ability to<br />
deliver both power and camera<br />
control over a single coaxial cable.<br />
It has emerged as the top contender<br />
to be the interface standard of<br />
choice for high-performance, highspeed,<br />
long distance image system<br />
applications. And due to the use of<br />
standard coaxial cable and its huge<br />
bandwidth, CoaXPress has found<br />
itself not only suited for machine<br />
vision applications but also for<br />
applications in the medical and<br />
defence markets, he says.<br />
Before an image system designer<br />
upgrades to a new interface, they<br />
want insights into the capabilities<br />
of its second or even third<br />
generations, he continues.<br />
This long-range perspective helps<br />
companies avoid the cost of a<br />
complete system redesign when,<br />
for example, data rates need<br />
to be doubled and the existing<br />

BitFlow is now<br />
offering the<br />
Cyton CXP4<br />
four-channel<br />
frame grabber<br />
based on the<br />
CoaXPress<br />
standard<br />
system falls short.<br />
“Many of our CoaXPress<br />
customers today are at bandwidth<br />
of 6.25 Gbps per coaxial cable and<br />
achieving data rates as high as<br />
12 Megapixels at almost 200 framesper-second,”<br />
explains Waide.<br />
“Within the next five years typical<br />
data rates are projected to double<br />
for many vision applications which<br />
will require the next generation of<br />
CoaXPress to offer 12.5 Gbps per<br />
cable to support it.<br />
“Thankfully, that next<br />
generation is close to being<br />
available which will be a major<br />
industry advancement,” he says.<br />
According to Waide, the system<br />
designers he talks to are making<br />
the move from Camera Link to<br />
CoaXPress for one of three reasons:<br />
One, they are already at the edge<br />
of Camera Link’s maximum speed<br />
of 850 MB/s and need an interface<br />
that will take them further; two,<br />
they have a complex system and<br />
Camera Link’s cables are too short<br />
or too difficult to manipulate; or<br />
three, they are new to machine<br />
vision technology and find<br />
CoaXPress the most logical path<br />
to a system that is truly future<br />
proofed.<br />
Compared to Camera Link<br />
(widely adopted since 2001),<br />
CoaXPress is still in its infancy<br />
stage but is already stable and<br />
ready for large scale projects,<br />
he argues.<br />
“When it comes down to the<br />
details of integrating the image<br />
acquisition system of camera and<br />
framegrabber into the system,<br />
the design engineer will have to<br />
switch from a Camera Link based<br />
way-of-working to the CoaXPress<br />
way-of-working,” Waide tells<br />
Machinery Update.<br />
“It’s like switching from your<br />
iPhone to an Android or vice<br />
versa,” he says. “The change<br />
is a little difficult at first due to<br />
familiarity, but you will adjust<br />
quickly and once you have made<br />
the transition, you will find that it<br />
is much easier to use.”<br />

To use robotics<br />
or not to…?<br />
Stelram Engineering looks at the pros and cons<br />
of using robots to supply bespoke functionality<br />
When there’s<br />
a need to<br />
add bespoke<br />
functionality<br />
to a food<br />
processing line, the end user<br />
and the equipment supplier are<br />
often faced with having to choose<br />
between a conventional solution<br />
and one that uses industrial<br />
robots,” says Bob Hinchcliffe,<br />
technical director at automation<br />
company Stelram Engineering.<br />
Here, he examines the pros and<br />
cons of each approach.<br />
Conventional approaches to<br />
delivering bespoke functionality are<br />
typically based on custom hardware<br />
that’s designed specifically for<br />
the job in hand. This makes it<br />
easy to take into account special<br />
requirements, such as the need to<br />
fit the equipment into a small or<br />
unusually shaped space.<br />
Also, largely because of their<br />
www.machineryupdate.co.uk JULY/AUGUST <strong>2016</strong> MACHINERY UPDATE 61<br />
familiarity with the technology<br />
used, many end users favour<br />
conventional solutions, expecting<br />
them to be easier to maintain and,<br />
should a breakdown occur, less<br />
costly to repair. It also has to be said<br />
that in some applications at least,<br />
the initial cost of a conventional<br />
solution is less than that of an<br />
equivalent robotic solution.<br />
Robotic solutions, which<br />
are based largely on standard<br />
hardware, the functionality of<br />
which is determined purely by<br />
programming, do however have<br />
their own special advantages.<br />
Because their functionality is<br />
mostly software defined, changes<br />
can be made easily.<br />
Adapting a conventional<br />
solution to handle say, a new size<br />
of carton that wasn’t foreseen at<br />
the design stage may well involve<br />
inconvenient and time-consuming<br />
modifications to conveyors,<br />
This Sonic<br />
cutter was<br />
devised by<br />
Stelram<br />
Engineering<br />
diverters and other pieces of plant<br />
hardware. With a robot solution,<br />
the modifications needed will,<br />
in most cases, be limited to only<br />
a software revision.<br />
Robotic solutions also have the<br />
capacity to dramatically improve<br />
product quality,” he asserts.<br />
Operations are performed with<br />
high precision, repeatability<br />
and reliability and this level of<br />
consistency can be difficult and<br />
costly to achieve with traditional<br />
methods or human operators.<br />
HIGH VOLUMES POSSIBLE<br />
A key benefit for using automated<br />
systems in high volume<br />
applications such as food is,<br />
of course, increased productivity.<br />
But business owners must be aware<br />
that incorporating industrial robots<br />
does not automatically guarantee<br />
great results. Devising a detailed<br />
project plan from the beginning<br />
to the end is absolutely crucial for<br />
making the most of the investment<br />
in new equipment.<br />
Another factor to consider when<br />
evaluating automation options is<br />
safety. Interestingly, and perhaps<br />
counter-intuitively, studies show<br />
that robots considerably increase<br />
workplace safety. Employees<br />
are moved to supervisory roles<br />
where they no longer have to<br />
perform dangerous applications<br />
in hazardous settings. Improved<br />
worker safety leads directly to<br />
financial savings with fewer<br />
healthcare, insurance and<br />
regulatory concerns for employers.<br />
However, robot-based<br />
automation solutions are not<br />
suitable for every application<br />
because of the initial costs.<br />

Effective controls<br />
are key to success<br />
for turnkeys<br />
In today’s market, turnkey<br />
solutions are a growing trend<br />
across the food industry.<br />
“However, it’s important to find<br />
a single-source supplier that<br />
can deliver the industry leading<br />
technology and services needed to<br />
maximise the potential of the entire<br />
production line,” argues Michael<br />
Green, managing director of tna.<br />
Also key to a turnkey solution is<br />
effective controls and integration<br />
technology.<br />
“As a turnkey solutions provider,<br />
we can provide a broad range<br />
of control systems that can help<br />
throughout the whole manufacturing<br />
process,” explains Green.<br />
tna believes to ensure smooth<br />
and efficient operations, effective<br />
electrical controls integration<br />
and reporting technology are<br />
essential. Once implemented,<br />
it provides a full, timely overview<br />
of the whole production line.<br />
A broad range of control systems<br />
can be offered by turnkey providers<br />
that can help throughout the<br />
whole manufacturing process.<br />
From providing 360 degree visibility<br />
to keep control of energy costs,<br />
product quality and process<br />
inefficiencies, to ensuring seamless<br />
integration to maximise line<br />
output, the system gives plant<br />
operators a single point of reference.<br />
To ensure maximum efficiency,<br />
a plant manager needs visibility<br />
of every section of the production<br />
line. To do so, they require<br />
tna’s managing director Michael Green<br />
Controlling<br />

manufacturers by<br />
the company<br />
a detailed, reliable and timely<br />
report from the entire line.<br />
However, as a production line is<br />
often composed of machines that<br />
employ different software, it can be<br />
difficult to evaluate reports and run<br />
detailed diagnostics.<br />
Often, supervisors receive<br />
information on several screens,<br />
which not only limits visibility but<br />
also duplicates effort and increases<br />
the risk of human error.<br />
A turnkey supplier can provide<br />
plant managers with a standalone<br />
SCADA system that is applied to<br />
every unit of the production line.<br />
Capable of gathering information<br />
from the entire line, these systems<br />
deliver comprehensive diagnostics<br />
for each machine from a single<br />
platform. Once collected, all the<br />
information is logged in a central<br />
database to create detailed and<br />
accurate reports which can easily<br />
be accessed from an HMI system<br />
to ensure a quick, efficient and<br />
seamless response.<br />
A full control system that<br />
monitors the production line from<br />
start to finish is essential to gain<br />
a complete overview.<br />
“With today’s production lines<br />
often running at break-neck<br />
speeds, a monitoring approach<br />
that focuses on individual sections<br />
might not be enough to identify a<br />
production flaw,” argues Green.<br />
A turnkey supplier can help<br />
develop a detailed user<br />
requirement specification (URS)<br />
based on the company’s specific<br />
objectives. A valid tool for plant<br />
managers to quickly identify any<br />
sign of inefficiency, the URS is the<br />
key to reducing waste.<br />
This URS is translated into a<br />
functional design specification<br />
(FDS), a report including an<br />
organised list of requirements<br />
to smooth the product flow.<br />
Once targets have been set,<br />
a turnkey supplier can also<br />
provide the technology to keep<br />
track of progress.<br />

talks to WH Leary<br />
about inspecting<br />
paperboard packs<br />
Vision-based inspection<br />
systems are highly<br />
regarded for their<br />
reliability and accuracy<br />
but can be difficult and<br />
costly to set up, thereby limiting<br />
their use to the number of skilled<br />
operators available to operate the<br />
systems, says Phillip Godden, md<br />
of the UK division of WH Leary.<br />
Well-known for its industry<br />
leading gluing and quality<br />
assurance systems featuring<br />
simplified user interfaces, the<br />
company has now shifted the<br />
sometimes complicated setup and<br />
operation of vision systems into<br />
user-friendly, application-specific<br />
solutions. These systems are<br />
designed for operators with no<br />
prior programming experience to<br />
easily setup and maintain with<br />
greater ease.<br />
“This design results in faster<br />
setup times combined with quality<br />
and maximum output,” says Godden.<br />
LearyVIEW systems are smart,<br />
application specific solutions<br />
providing greater operating speed,<br />
accuracy and ease of use, and can be<br />
combined with Leary’s other QA and<br />
iQ SAAS solutions. The technologies<br />
used in each LearyVIEW system<br />
have been carefully designed to<br />
provide optimal performance for<br />
a specific application.<br />
Out of the box, LearyVIEW<br />
already knows what patterns<br />
and features to look for, with no<br />
additional programming required<br />
Leary offers vision solutions for glue<br />
as well as carton printing operations<br />
Easy to use<br />
vision units<br />
LearyVIEW<br />
Braille allows the<br />
operator to easily<br />
verify that the<br />
pattern is correct<br />
due to the<br />
‘Master Learn’<br />
feature<br />
and a simple one button setup is<br />
all it takes to get a new job up and<br />
running. The Braille version, for<br />
example, comes pre-programmed<br />
with the Marburg Medium Braille<br />
font and can read Braille and<br />
decode it into standard readable<br />
text, enabling the operator to<br />
more easily verify that the Braille<br />
pattern is correct.<br />
In practice, the ‘Master Learn’<br />
feature allows the operator to run<br />
the first carton through and the<br />
LearyVIEW system then compares<br />
the rest of the product run to this<br />
learned Master carton.<br />
These systems provide complete<br />
diagnostics including image<br />
filtering and provide descriptive<br />
‘fail’ explanations to help operators<br />
identify errors quickly as well as<br />
preventing further issues.<br />
Leary currently offers vision<br />
solutions for glue (correct placement<br />
and absence from unglued areas),<br />
Braille and print (Delta E colour,<br />
barcode reading and grading, print<br />
registration and printing defects)<br />
for complete product accuracy.<br />
These vision solutions are available<br />
as upgrades to existing Leary Array<br />
systems and on new equipment.<br />
Also, LearyVIEW print solutions<br />
are available as inline, offline or<br />
mobile applications.<br />
The company offers free technical<br />
support for the life of its LearyVIEW<br />

is specific to each application,<br />
ensuring customers receive the<br />
most thorough system support,<br />
getting them back up and running<br />

Italian manufacturer Trascar and<br />
its UK agent Phoenix Handling<br />

multi-million euro order from<br />
a British food company for an<br />
automated case handling and palletising<br />
system that puts robotics at its heart.<br />
This British producer of an historic brand<br />
has selected Modena-based Trascar as a<br />
technology partner for the installation of<br />
its first automated palletising system at its<br />
plant. The multi-million euro order will be<br />
installed by the end of the year.<br />
This new order consolidates the<br />
presence of both PHS and Trascar in<br />
the UK, where in little more than two<br />
years of doing business together, they<br />
have already acquired several orders for<br />
complex systems of ever increasing value.<br />
The new order will involve the planning,<br />
the design, the assembly and testing of<br />
an articulated robotic palletising system<br />
which is connected to a series<br />
of conveyors and flow diverters.<br />
CENTRALISED PALLETISING AREA<br />
The line will handle packs from<br />
production to the new area assigned<br />
for automated centralised palletising.<br />
When complete, the pallets will be<br />
automatically stretchwrapped via<br />
Tosa 125 series high speed ring wrapping<br />
machines, labelled and then transferred<br />
into a new warehouse.<br />
Automatic shuttles will completely<br />
automate the pallet handling aspect,<br />
which will be fully automatic without<br />
any operator intervention necessary.<br />
The system is currently at the planning<br />
phase, but will manage simultaneously<br />
up to eight pallet building positions,<br />
for a wide variety of case dimensions<br />
and stacking patterns at a high output.<br />
This important order was obtained<br />
thanks to the business partnership<br />
established by Trascar and PHS, a<br />
company used to designing complete<br />
solutions for the UK market.<br />

Bringing more<br />
vision options<br />
to ‘cobots’<br />
Industrial Vision Systems (IVS) is now<br />
integrating its machine vision technology<br />
with the latest collaborative robots,<br />
also known as ‘cobots’, from Universal<br />
Robots. IVS is pitching the vision-enabled<br />
UR3, UR5 and UR10 models, which are<br />
supplied in the UK by RA Rodriguez (UK)<br />
at customer applications such as inspecting<br />
complex components as well as providing<br />
positioning feedback to the robot.<br />
“This new generation of affordable,<br />
lightweight robots is unlocking new<br />
markets and applications as they work<br />
side by side with human workers,” says<br />
Earl Yardley, director at IVS. “The result<br />
is increased total factor productivity and<br />
the elimination of the need for costly<br />
precision fixtures, thus allowing different<br />
parts to be processed and inspected<br />
without changing tools.”<br />
The latest generation vision systems<br />
from IVS are based on high resolution<br />
digital camera technology combined with<br />
sub-pixel accuracy vision software for<br />
unparalleled ease of deployment within<br />
factory automation.<br />
“We use Rodriguez as they are a<br />
qualified, knowledgeable supplier that<br />
offers a good background in robotics<br />
automation with the UR robots,” says<br />
Yardley. “Working together on projects<br />
means we can leverage their substantial<br />
knowledge on flexible automation,<br />
coupled with our extensive expertise on<br />
automated machine vision solutions.<br />
“As a result, we can approach projects<br />
with a team philosophy utilising a large<br />
engineering resource between the two<br />
companies,” he says.<br />

Vision guided robots used in equipment from the<br />
Cama Group are providing benefits to ice cream<br />
Vision guided robots from Cama<br />
Group are providing flexible<br />
production for a Turkish ice<br />
cream maker, from naked<br />
product to the end of line packing.<br />
Cama Group developed a system that<br />
copes with medium and high capacity<br />
lines and includes ‘smart’ vision guided<br />
robots to meet market demands for<br />
flexible working. The equipment has to<br />
cope with a production line accepting<br />
very different products including cones,<br />
cups and naked chocolate-coated<br />
pralines. To cope with this, the vision<br />
guided robotic units developed by the<br />
Italian company can work across a range<br />
of different products.<br />
Where a conventional approach may<br />
require time-consuming changeover<br />
procedures, or even different lines with<br />
Using smart vision<br />
guided robots offers<br />
OEE gains for users<br />
each line dedicated to a single product,<br />
the system from Cama can handle<br />
different products on the same line easily.<br />
In operation, the Cama line receives<br />
the product from the upfront process line<br />
and, with very few product handovers<br />
and accuracy, loads it into the final stock<br />
keeping unit (SKU) ready for despatch.<br />
The robots are also able to pick loose,<br />
natural-shaped products covered in<br />
chocolate, coming randomly from the<br />
production line and load them correctly in<br />
a pre-set pattern on a continuous motion<br />
conveyor into thermoformed trays.<br />
Products are selected, according to their<br />
dimension and shape, and then placed<br />
into the trays in the correct positions.<br />
The Cama Delta robots share common<br />
working space so one can work close<br />
to the other, generating a space reduction<br />
of up to 40% over standard models.<br />
Thanks to the co-flow working principle<br />
of this vision-guided line, and to the<br />
patented anti-collision software, Cama<br />
is able to offer lean line architecture,<br />
following the flow of process.<br />

Embracing<br />
robot offer<br />
Robotics are embraced at end of line<br />
and also for product handling range<br />
Lan|Abar Handling<br />
Technologies in the<br />
Netherlands, a merger<br />
between former LAN<br />
Handling Systems<br />
and Abar Automation, has<br />
embraced the use of robotics<br />
technology within its product<br />
handling and end of line<br />
automation range that is<br />
available in the UK from<br />
F Jahn & Company.<br />
“In the recent past, many<br />
of our customers were<br />
hesitant towards the use of<br />
robotics technology as they<br />
perceived it to be complex and<br />
also more costly compared<br />
to a conventional solution,”<br />
explains Rogier Weekers,<br />
technology manager<br />
at Lan|Abar Handling<br />
Technologies. “Today,<br />
however about 80% of our<br />
sales is robotics integrated<br />
as customers have learned<br />
about the benefits and the<br />
technology has proven itself<br />
in operation,” he says.<br />
The company believes<br />
one of the key benefits is<br />
flexibility in product variation.<br />
“In a matter of minutes, the<br />
robot head can be adapted<br />
to handle a different type<br />
of product or piece of<br />
equipment,” says Weekers.<br />
And, he believes, more and<br />
more applications require this<br />
type of flexibility which will<br />
never be achieved by the use<br />
of a conventional solution.<br />
A second key benefit<br />
concerns the efficiency of the<br />
overall system. By integrating<br />
OEE into the software, the<br />
efficiency is closely measured<br />
and operators can anticipate<br />
the replacement of wear parts<br />
more easily.<br />

Corner wrap<br />
applicator<br />
profits cases<br />
Videojet has introduced a<br />
new corner wrap applicator<br />
for its 9550 print & apply<br />
labelling system which, says the<br />
company, provides substantial<br />
improvements in production<br />
throughput for applications that<br />
require labelling on two sides<br />
of a case so it can be seen from<br />
multiple orientations.<br />
“The 9550 Corner Wrap<br />
system prints the information<br />
on one continuous label and in<br />
a single process applies it to the<br />
two adjacent panels of a case,<br />
replacing two conventional<br />
applicators while ensuring that<br />
the information on both sides<br />
of the package is synched,”<br />
says Bob Neagle, business unit<br />
manager for Videojet.<br />
The conventional approach<br />
to two-sided labelling uses two<br />
units to apply two different labels<br />
with duplicate information.<br />
However, the 9550 Corner Wrap<br />
system uses Videojet patented<br />
direct apply labelling technology<br />
to affix the side section of a label<br />
before a single pneumatic stroke<br />
of a wipe roller wraps the label<br />
onto the back of the case.<br />
This simple design eliminates<br />
the swing arm that is typically<br />
used for corner wrap labelling and<br />
can often be a point of failure,<br />
Videojet tells Machinery Update.<br />
Additionally, the 9550 method<br />
reduces wear and tear as its<br />
applicator rolls across the back<br />
of the case as opposed to the<br />
front of the case where the<br />
case can directly impact the<br />
applicator arm.<br />

ALTech UK has developed<br />
a second bespoke<br />
automated flat sack feed<br />
and labelling system for Trouw<br />
Nutrition (formerly Frank<br />
Wright) following the success<br />
of its first machine installed<br />
a year ago.<br />
ALTech’s ALfeed solution<br />
can handle a diverse range<br />
of bags, including paper and<br />
poly valve and pillow sacks,<br />
in a wide variety of sizes<br />
and surface finishes and is<br />
designed for single person<br />
operation. The change in<br />
bag type requires virtually<br />
no setup as the hopper selfadjusts<br />
to the size of the bag<br />
and the pick and place lift<br />
system automatically adjusts<br />
to the thicknesses and also<br />
the length of bag.<br />
This self-regulation was<br />
crucial to Trouw Nutrition as<br />
it frequently completes short<br />
runs of batch labelling; one<br />
of the key reasons why they<br />
don’t label filled sacks inline.<br />
This new machine operates<br />
at an average of about 30<br />
bags a minute, with speeds<br />
approaching 40 bags a minute<br />
for the smaller sizes.<br />

system designed specifically for the<br />
company’s laser markers.<br />
The main function of the FE unit is<br />
to securely remove fumes and particles<br />
during the laser scribing process to<br />
maintain a safe and clean working<br />
environment, while also preserving high<br />
code quality.<br />
“The key improvement of our latest<br />
extraction system is the filtration<br />
technology which is independently<br />
tested and approved by ILK in Dresden,”<br />
applied to silver foil blister strips.<br />
“We used Allen Coding printers before so<br />
were happy to choose their NGT2+ systems<br />
as replacements for older, obsolete units,”<br />
explains Alistair Harkins, production<br />
engineer at CooperVision. “Our main<br />
priority was consistency of operation and<br />
print quality as if the barcode isn’t clearly<br />
legible for any reason we lose traceability<br />
which has a negative impact on safety.”<br />
Each NGT2+ is handling up to 1200 labels<br />
per hour, with one label for three blister<br />
packs. As part of CooperVision’s quality<br />
control procedures, the blister packs are<br />
then checked by a barcode reader.<br />

standard sizes - the 153 and<br />
165 formats (IP69k housing is<br />
Pictured is the 153 format switch<br />
standard on both switches).<br />
This range conforms to all the<br />
appropriate safety standards<br />
and is UL/CSA approved.<br />
Additional circuitry has<br />
been incorporated in the<br />
eloProtectM range to reduce<br />
the possibility of manipulation<br />
from a non-coded source. Each<br />
version allows for a greater<br />
misalignment value of between<br />
3 and 5mm which results in<br />
a reduction of any unwanted<br />

speed are provided by the<br />
extremely fast backplane<br />
transmission of 48 Mbit/s while<br />
offering the potential for adding<br />
up to 64 expansion modules which<br />
can be connected to the CPU.<br />
Of the 30 integrated digital<br />
and analog I/O channels, a total<br />
of four input channels can be<br />
used as counter and frequency<br />
measurement functions while<br />
two output channels can be<br />
used for PWM. So despite its<br />

Combined solution increases safety but as it<br />
doesn’t need safety relays, also saves space<br />
activated a light curtain -<br />
outputs have to be switched<br />
off immediately. Combining<br />
safety relays with K3 fieldbus<br />
modules is an easy method to<br />
achieve safe outputs and is a<br />
practical solution for smaller<br />
applications with basic<br />
requirements.<br />
In order to design an<br />

highest safety requirements,<br />
a combination of the compact<br />

76 MACHINERY UPDATE JULY/AUGUST <strong>2016</strong> www.machineryupdate.co.uk<br />
Regulations<br />
Safety standards are<br />
confusing for all<br />
Stewart Robinson<br />
PRINCIPAL ENGINEER AND FUNCTIONAL SAFETY EXPERT AT TÜV SÜD PRODUCT SERVICE<br />
Following the collapse of the project designed to merge the two standards involving safety related<br />
control, the ISO published a completely new version of its standard (EN ISO 13849-1:2015)<br />
in December 2015. Here, we highlight some of the key changes<br />
As two standards<br />
relating to safety<br />
related control systems<br />
can be followed (EN ISO<br />
13849-1 and EN [IEC] 62061)<br />
to demonstrate compliance<br />
with the Machinery Directive,<br />
the standard organisations<br />
had intended to merge them.<br />
However, following the collapse<br />
of this project, the ISO published<br />
a completely new version of its<br />
standard (EN ISO 13849-1:2015)<br />
in December 2015.<br />
There are several key<br />
changes. Firstly, when looking<br />
for guidance on the choice<br />
of which standard to adopt,<br />
Table 1 has been removed and<br />
replaced by a reference to the<br />
technical report ISO/TR 23849.<br />
UPDATED REFERENCES<br />
References have been updated<br />
throughout the new standard,<br />
mainly to reflect changes<br />
in other standards. Some<br />
definitions have also been<br />
added, including a definition<br />
of ‘Proven in use’, and the<br />
addition of ‘T10d’ defined as the<br />
“Mean time until 10 % of the<br />
components fail dangerously”.<br />
Previously the expression<br />
‘average probability of<br />
a dangerous failure per<br />
hour’ had been used in full<br />
throughout the standard.<br />
Now, the abbreviation PFHD<br />
is also used, delivering some<br />
consistency between EN ISO<br />
13849-1 and other functional<br />
safety standards. Likewise,<br />
the term ‘subsystem’ is now<br />
included as an alternative<br />
term for Safety Related Parts<br />
of Control Systems (SRP/CS).<br />
The flow chart (Figure 2)<br />
for the overview of the risk<br />
reduction process now<br />
includes systematic failures<br />
in the list of things to<br />
consider when evaluating the<br />
Performance Level (PLr).<br />
For Category 2 architectures<br />
the ‘assumption’ that the<br />
demand rate should be ≤1/100<br />
test rate now has an added<br />
provision that Category 2 can<br />
also be claimed if testing occurs<br />
immediately upon demand of<br />
the safety function, and safety<br />
times and distances are also<br />
satisfied. To achieve PLd with<br />
Category 2 architectures it is now<br />
a normative requirement for the<br />
Output of Test Equipment (OTE)<br />
to initiate a safe state.<br />
There is a new clause (4.5.5)<br />
regarding the use of nonelectrical<br />
components where<br />
no reliability data is available,<br />
which allows for PFHD<br />
estimations to be made based<br />
on architectures and other<br />
factors.<br />
LIMITATIONS OVERCOME<br />
For Category 4 architectures,<br />
the 100 years Mean Time To<br />
Dangerous Failure (MTTFd)<br />
capping can be increased<br />
to 2,500 years. This is to<br />
overcome the limitations<br />
imposed on the calculated<br />
PFHD that results in an<br />
artificial limit to the number<br />
of subsystems in a series<br />
alignment. Annex K has<br />
therefore been updated to take<br />
account of this.<br />
The requirements for Safety<br />
Related Embedded Software<br />
(SRESW) include clear<br />
restrictions on the use of some<br />
Programmable Electronic<br />
Systems according to the PLr.<br />
For components for<br />
which SRESW requirements<br />
are not fulfilled, these<br />
components may be used<br />
under the following alternative<br />
conditions:<br />
• the SRP/CS is limited to PL<br />
a or b and uses category B,<br />
2 or 3;<br />
• the SRP/CS is limited to PL<br />
Carrying out the calculations<br />
to ensure compliance remains a<br />
resource-hungry process<br />
c or d and may use multiple<br />
components for two<br />
channels in category 2 or 3.<br />
The components of these<br />
two channels use diverse<br />
technologies.<br />
The summing up the PFHD<br />
of each SRP/CS in a series<br />
alignment, to establish the<br />
PFHD of the function, is made<br />
clearer (Clause 6.3).<br />
There is also clarification<br />
that the use of the Risk Graph<br />
in Annex A is not mandatory,<br />
and that other methods to<br />
establish PLr of the safety<br />
functions can be used instead.<br />
The guidance on selecting<br />
some of the parameters is<br />
expanded, and it is made<br />
clear that the selection of P1<br />
or P2 should consider both the<br />
possibility to avoid and the<br />
probability of occurrence of<br />
the hazardous event.<br />
There are some additional<br />
measures against Common<br />
Cause listed in table F.1. For<br />
example, detection of short<br />
circuits by dynamic test<br />
is listed as a measure for<br />
separation/segregation.<br />
SPECIFIC MEASURE<br />
The measure for EMC is now<br />
more specific: “For electrical/<br />
electronic systems, prevention<br />
of contamination and<br />
electromagnetic disturbances<br />
(EMC) to protect against<br />
common cause failures in<br />
accordance with appropriate<br />
standards (e.g. IEC 61326–3-1).”<br />
Annex I ‘Examples’ has<br />
been completely revised with<br />
example A (single channel)<br />
having a PLr of PLc, and<br />
example B (dual channel)<br />
having a PLr of PLd. More<br />
detail is now also given to the<br />
reliability data used in the<br />
examples to make them more<br />
in keeping with actual ‘real<br />
world’ applications.<br />
Despite its update, carrying<br />
out the calculations required<br />
by EN ISO 13849-1 remains<br />
a complex task, and while<br />
software solutions can help, it<br />
still remains a resource-hungry<br />
process for machine builders.<br />
