There are numerous options on the market

for high-speed box-filling solutions. I was
particularly drawn to the fact that the robots
were designed with no motors or mounts
above the product, and all with much higher
“
productivity than conventional delta robots.
My line is better integrated and more
compact, and the attention paid by Stäubli
to helping my team improve their skills was
the icing on the cake.

“The precision of Stäubli robots has meant

that I have been able to create decorations
that are impossible to do by hand at such
speeds. My R&D and business teams can
give free rein to their creativity, and the
versatility of the robots allows the
my customers’ needs. Stäubli and its“
production teams to adapt easily to all of

simple and educational recipe creation
