Automatic tray loading robot for tart crusts for confectionery manufacturing lines.

Automatic tray insertion, of course, as well as simultaneous detection of color unevenness, cracks, chips, and molding defects! A robotic system that maximizes production efficiency in confectionery manufacturing lines.

Are you still relying on manual labor for inspecting tart crusts after baking and filling trays? Visual inspections can easily be affected by the experience and concentration of the workers, leading to variations in quality and missed defects. Additionally, the worsening labor shortage makes it difficult to secure stable personnel, and many confectionery production sites face the challenge of not being able to increase production volume even if they want to due to the inability to raise line speed. To address these on-site challenges, Nikkō has developed an automatic tray loading robot. It ensures the automation and stable operation of the inspection and filling processes by accurately filling trays with the baked tart crusts that flow continuously from the oven while inspecting them. 【Features】 - Two robots accurately fill the pockets of dedicated trays with tart crusts flowing from the oven. - Image measurement simultaneously inspects not only the product's position information but also color unevenness, cracks, chips, and molding defects. - Since the desired processing capacity of users could not be met with the current robot's capabilities, we have innovated the hand design to enhance its performance.
