Friesland Foods Cheese, a large producer of Edam Cheese in Holland, is using three Fanuc Robots to increase productivity. The Fanuc R-2000iB is used in a material handling application to grab trays of cheese and places them on a conveyor using vacuum cups. The process depends on the R-2000iB’s features of collision detection, sensing, and wrist roll motion to accurately and delicately move the individual cheeses. The conveyor eventually delivers the cheeses to a Fanuc M-710iC robot equipped with a gripper to pick up and rotate the cheeses and place them in boxes. Full boxes proceed to a Fanuc M-410i palletizing robot at the end of the line. The automated line increased productivity by 10%.
