Robot equipped with an ultrasonic knife is a high-tech solution for automating the cutting of cakes, pastries, and other products that require high precision and flexibility in processing.
Key Features:
- Six-axis robot: A robotic manipulator with six degrees of freedom provides maximum flexibility in movement.
- Allows cutting products at various angles, along complex trajectories, and into unconventional shapes.
- Can handle products of different heights and shapes.
- Ultrasonic knife: Equipped with a cutting blade vibrating at ultrasonic frequency (typically 20 to 40 kHz).
- Ensures clean cuts without sticking, even on products with soft or sticky textures (e.g., creams, glazes, mousses).
- Easily handles multi-layered and frozen products.
Programmable cutting:
- Supports various cutting patterns: squares, triangles.
- Easy to adjust parameters via software (e.g., the operator can set the number and size of portions).
Working Principle:
- Product feeding: Products are placed in the working area manually, via with a positioning platform.
- The robot calculates the optimal cutting trajectory.
- Cutting: The six-axis manipulator moves the ultrasonic knife along the programmed trajectory.
Advantages of a Six-axis Robot with Ultrasonic Knife:
Flexibility and versatility:
- Suitable for processing various products: cakes, rolls, cheesecakes, frozen desserts, pizzas, and even soft cheeses.
- High precision: The six-axis design ensures millimeter-level accuracy when working with any product.
- Ultrasonic technology guarantees clean cuts without damaging textures.
- Efficiency and productivity: Automation reduces processing time and minimizes human error.
- Capable of processing multiple products consecutively thanks to the manipulator’s speed.
- Waste reduction: Precise cutting minimizes product loss.
- Ease of integration: The robot can be easily incorporated into existing production lines.
- Simple programming
Applications:
- Confectionery production: Cutting cakes and pastries into predefined sizes.
- Bakeries: Cutting bread, pizzas, and other baked goods.
- Cheese production: Cutting soft or semi-hard cheeses.
This type of equipment is ideal for manufacturers requiring maximum flexibility and high-speed performance when working with a wide range of products.
