Improvements in flexographic printing parallel growing move to flexible packaging

The new MH12 six-axis robot from Yaskawa Motoman provides superior performance in assembly, dispensing, material handling, machine tending and packaging applications.

In this three-column series, Bosch Packaging Technology shares its wealth of information to help manufacturers optimize their horizontal flow wrapping packaging lines.

It is no secret that robots and automation are in big demand in the packaging industry, from pick and place applications to robotic palletizing and everywhere in between.

Barry Callebaut AG (a leading manufacturer of cocoa and chocolate products), headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, masters nearly all steps from the sourcing of cocoa beans right up to the finished products sold on store shelves.

The Motoman Robotics Division of Yaskawa America, Inc., announces it has acquired all outstanding shares of Agile Planet, Inc. (“Agile Planet”).

ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, announces its intention to acquire Dynamotive Ltd to expand its service offering in low and medium voltage drives and motors.

Those responsible for manufacturing plants and process facilities are increasingly turning to members of the Control System Integrators Association (CSIA; www.controlsys.org) for help in boosting productivity and guarding against catastrophic computer failures that can interrupt operations.

Stäubli Technology Days is geared to professionals in engineering and manufacturing management who are looking for ways to increase efficiency and maximize productivity through technology. Stäubli's Robotics and Connectors Divisions will each be sharing their innovations:

Stäubli Robotics, a leading innovator in robotic automation, has partnered with Minnesota-based Werner Electric to make Stäubli robots and robotic components, as well as the support of a Stäubli-trained local sales network, available throughout the region.
