From the PACK EXPO Show Floor
by Earl Wohlrab on Sep 27, 2011In a video blog from the PACK EXPO 2011 show floor, Earl Wohlrab, manager of robotic integration for Intelligrated, provides an overview of the integrated Alvey® robotic cell featured in Intelligrated’s booth and discusses how PLC controls for robotics can provide a lower hurdle of entry into robotic systems.
The Alvey® Robotics demonstration features Motoman and KUKA robotic arms operating on PLC-based controls systems performing robotic case packing and unpacking of bottles. A third Fanuc robotic arm, operating on proprietary robotic controls, demonstrates case palletizing.
