Even without the world’s leading interpack trade fair, packaging machinery manufacturer Schubert is presenting itself as a driving force for innovative technologies and packaging solutions. With high-level flexibility, the company is addressing theincreasingly complex market requirements of greater product diversity and smaller batch sizes.

Faster, more flexible, more sustainable – the packaging industry is currently facing several challenges. In order to satisfy these requirements, highly flexible machines and consistently efficient processes are necessary. Schubert already offers an advantage here with the modular design of its TLM systems, which the group is continuously advancing by developing digital solutions and new robots.

If you need to accommodate higher performance in a small space or require more mobility in product handling, the specialized T4 and T5 robots are the right solution. They complement the F4 robot, which is used in numerous picker lines from Schubert. The design of the new pick & place robots is based on the well-known delta robot type. Their compact rectangular working area makes them perfect for high performance in small spaces: up to six of the new four-axis T4 robots can work simultaneously in a single TLM frame. The T5 variant offers a completely different – and also new – option for machine processes: it has a fifth axis with which products can be pivoted and tilted.

With the cooperative robots, the cobots, which work without a safety cage, packaging processes of small batch sizes can be automated and significantly optimized. The cobots are very fast and relieve workers of monotonous tasks in the packaging process. They will be presented at the interpack 2021 fair from 25 February to 3 March 2021 in Düsseldorf/Germany.
