“The success of the launch event shows that automation is no longer confined to traditional factory floors,” says Adam Sanjurgo, Automation Product Manager at igus® in Northampton. “Seeing the Nova 5 go to a business like 3D Food Robotics highlights how collaborative robotics are reshaping industries in entirely new ways.”
3D Food Robotics are poised to introduce many innovative new products made possible as a result of being introduced to the DOBOT range of robots. In addition to robotics, the open day also introduced attendees to lesser-known areas of the igus product portfolio. Hinchcliffe noted that despite using igus products for more than 30 years, the event highlighted new bearing solutions that he has since selected for a future machine design.
As RBTX continues to grow, igus remains committed to supporting innovators like Bob Hinchcliffe, helping broaden the boundaries of what automation can achieve, one application at a time.
