Schubert Motion optimizes robot movements live

Packaging machine manufacturer Schubert has presented robots featuring Schubert Motion technology for the first time at the Fachpack 2021 trade fair.

This software is based on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and optimises the movements of the robot arms in terms of speed, while reducing vibrations, to the advantage of the efficiency of the entire system subjected to less stress.

On show, the F2 robots - mounted on a combination of flowpack and casepacker - have demonstrated the increased performance potential in the real packaging process live.

For the packaging machine manufacturer, Schubert Motion represents a decisive step towards a new type of robot programming. Until now, movements had to be parameterised in a complex manner and manually tuned on the machine.

With the new software, a large part of this effort is eliminated. The robots run almost automatically at high performance levels, and products and processes can be focused on immediately.
