Greetings!
Thursday March 17 is St. Patrick's Day and as such, I thought a little history on the Irish Shamrock would be appropriate.
According to About.com, the term "shamrock" is derived from the Irish word, seamrog, which when translated means "little clover."
Identifying an Irish Shamrock is a lot harder than you think, at least botanically speaking. According to a 1988 Tippitiwitchet Cottage survey taken at the National Botanic Gardens in Glasnevin, Dublin, a shamrock can be any one of four plants. They are: Black Medick, Lesser trefoil (Hop clover), White clover or Red clover. Each of these plants all have one thing in common - they all have 3 leaves. Good luck in finding your shamrock amongst the 4-leaf clover this St. Patrick's Day.
This month's newsletter features our Model TL200 Robotic Tray Loader, FANUC Robotics' M430iA 5-axis Food Duty robot and our Model AT48 Rotary Accumulation Table. We look forward to serving your automation needs now and in the future. Have a particular interest? Want to see more of something? If you have any topics you would like to see covered in future newsletters, please feel free to email us. |

FANUC M-430iA 5-Axis Food Duty Robot
The FANUC M-430iA is a revolutionary robot design optimized for high-speed sustained picking and packing. To meet the needs of the food industry, the M-430iA was designed not only for secondary (packaged) food handling, but for primary (unpackaged) food handling as well. It has the ability to withstand acidic and alkaline food industry cleaners used in daily washdown operations.
The M-430iA is a five-axis articulated, electric servo-driven robot. It is supported by an intelligent robot control system and can work with FANUC's high-speed visual tracking. Available mounting positions include: floor, wall and invert configurations.
This high-performance robot weighs only 55Kg, has an 1130mm reach envelope and comes in either 2Kg or 4 Kg payload configurations. The M-430iA is capable of up to 120 cycles/minute at 1Kg and 100 cycles per minute at 2Kg. Repeatability is +/- 0.5mm at full speed and payload.
The entire robot utilizes a clean design with smooth surfaces, has a hollow arm to avoid air line and electric cable exposure and is rated IP67.
Automated Cells & Equipment looks forward to helping you apply this innovative product. Call us for all your high-speed picking, packing or palletizing needs.
