Two words – successful debut – sum up the first active demonstration of a Kassow robot at a trade fair. We showcased the KR 810 cobot on our booth stand at FachPack in Nuremberg at the end of September. The demonstration showed how the KR 810 cobot can assist in the process of banding products such as coffee packs (> see video clip). Dirk Hebbering, our Head of sales, describes the process: “Loose packs of coffee are carried by a conveyor belt and have already been grouped into fours. They run up against a stopper. The robot is triggered by an optical barrier: it moves to the pre-programmed position, grabs the coffee packs and carries them to the PROSMART system. Once banded, the packs are then placed on the other side of the conveyor belt by the cobot.”
