GEA OptiRobot

Customers asked for higher effectiveness and we delivered.

GEA’s new robot picker solution GEA OptiRobot 6000 meets customer demands for the highest degree of automation combined with super-low labor costs and maximum flexibility. That means higher line effectiveness than ever. The new robot enables differently shaped portions (stacked, shingled, overlapped, etc.) to be loaded into a packaging machine with any kind of laying pattern – all fully automatically. Our state-of-the art gripper concept features the latest 3D technology plus an outstanding exchange mechanism for quick and easy exchange. Integrated seamlessly into our line solutions, it can be operated through any GEA SmartControl HMI.

The optional state-of-the-art vision system detects each individual portion before entering the loading area to ensure only good portions are loaded into the preformed packages. This can substantially reduce costly line stoppages. Last but not least, the new gripper exchange mechanism significantly reduces downtime by delivering the shortest change over times for different products. 

The GEA OptiBuffer is an integrated, dynamic and intelligent buffer system which guarantees higher performance and faster slicer reloading times.
