The design of the new pick-and-place robots is based on the Delta robot type. Their limited rectangular working area predestines them for high performance in the tightest of spaces: up to six of the new four-axis T4 robots can work simultaneously in a single TLM frame. The T5 variant offers a different and also new option for machine processes. It has a fifth axis that can be used to swivel and tilt products.

Virtual parts warehouse with 3D printing on demand
3D printing is not only revolutionizing machines, but also warehousing. This is because electronic design data can be retrieved "on demand" from anywhere in the world in a matter of seconds. Schubert is now making this access to tested and certified print data possible - with the new part streaming platform from its subsidiary Schubert Additive Solutions.

The virtual warehouse is fast, reliable and economical and represents a major step towards safe, flexible production. The digitally stored parts are available everywhere, eliminating long waiting and delivery times. In addition to simple spare and wear parts, various 3D format parts for robot tools can be printed via the part streaming platform. Constantly used equipment and devices also offer many possibilities.

Standard in every new TLM system
Big data is the new currency - even in the packaging industry. But storing machine data alone is not enough. If you really want to benefit, you need a meaningful analysis of important key figures and one hundred percent protection against attacks from the Internet. Schubert now makes both possible in series production: a GS.Gate is integrated into every new TLM system as an industrial gateway.

Detailed evaluations of system productivity can be called up via this. The results can be viewed either on the Grips.world customer platform or on the machine's operating terminal. This analysis can then be used to derive potentials and possibilities for improving the OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) of the system and thus the added value.

Cobots - the next level of automation
Cooperative robots can be used to automate and significantly optimize packaging processes for small batch sizes. Schubert is developing a complete system for its new cobot modular system. The new cooperative robots from Schubert will be presented at Interpack 2021 from February 25 to March 3, 2021 in Düsseldorf. as
