CME brings Stäubli HE Robots to FOODEX 2023

FOODEX 2023 will see Stäubli integrator CME, an award-winning British engineering business, showcase its HFPC 120, a precision, hygienic robotic food handling system, which incorporates the latest Stäubli HE range of robots.

This cell is one of the few on the market designed specifically for orientating and placing meat products such as chicken portions, steaks and burgers into primary packaging, with the highest hygiene standards designed in. CME’s production cells use Stäubli’s HE version of the TS2-80 and TS2-100 robotic arms, which deliver ultra-short cycle times and high repeatability.

Stäubli says its HE robotic arms have become the robot of choice within the food sector thanks to their fully hygienic design, superior technical performance, and their ability to eliminate bacterial contamination risks. These valuable attributes have opened up significant numbers of new application areas within a sector that will continue to benefit from the introduction of robots and automation.

Specifically designed with the EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group) exacting standards in mind, the HFPC 120 utilises a modular approach and allows the cell to be customised in a way that exactly matches the requirements of a customer’s food processing line.

CME’s HFPC 120, with its Stäubli robots, can be seen at the FOODEX Show, at the NEC Birmingham between the 24th and 26th April 2023, on stand B81.
