Quik Pick QP100 Robotic Primary Food Handling
Request More Information ›The Quest QP100 is a family of pick and place solutions for direct food handling. They are versatile picking systems that can load, orientate, stack and group products into a wide variety of primary packaging machines such as thermoformers, flow wrappers, and vacuum sealers. The QP100 robotic picking system is designed to grip hard-to-handle products, such as bakery, cheese, meats and poultry in virtually any shape. The QP100 series solutions can also be designed to load lined totes or cartons in varying pack patterns.
Utilizing FANUC robotics' DR-3iB/6 stainless food-grade delta robot and Soft Robotics Inc. mGrip end of arm tool this solution is capable of direct food contact with U.S. Department of Agriculture and USDA Dairy compliant and washdown designs. Soft Robotics mGripAI, artificial intelligence vision allows Quest to program the robot and end of arm tooling to handle products on an infeed that are both random and/or piled.
For slower speed, smaller footprint solutions, Quest utilizes the FANUC LR-Mate articulating arm. This solution, partnered with the mGrip tool allows for the same load, orientate and stacking on lines that do not require a high speed pick.
Features & Specs
- Eliminates dull, repetitive tasks normally performed by a human operator
- Increases food safety and reducing product contamination by minimizing human contact
- Delivers labor savings; strong return on investment
- Runs a variety of products with minimal (if any) changeover
- Provides easy access to all components for cleaning
- Is easy to maintain; minimal wear parts
The Flexible Robotic Loading System is a versatile picking system that can load, orientate, stack and group products into thermoformed trays. Its robotic picking system can grip hard-to-handle products, such as poultry and meats, as well as virtually any other product shape.
Quest Industrial’s raw and packaged robotic cheese stick pick and place system is clean, quick and nimble. Odd word to use right? We don’t think so. Our robotic cheese stick pick and place system is just that, quick and light in movement. We are able to get these robots picking & placing so accurately and fast that it would seem like the cheese is floating. Some of our customers have said that these robots move so fast that they can hardly watch to keep track of how fast the robot is actually moving.
This robotic cheese stick pick and place system is perfect for applications which need high rates, a long reach and have a small payload. Our robotic experts use FANUC’s M430 that has a payload of up to about 4lbs with a reach of 35 inches or FANUC’s LR Mate which has a payload of up to 15lbs and a reach of about 28 inches. Depending on the weight of your product, our robotic cheese stick pick and place system can reach rates of up to 600 pieces per minute!
