At VIV-Europe 2010 Moba will introduce a complete series of robot applications for the egg industry. Moba is already many years successful in creating equipment for handling eggs in a packed form (either in trays or consumer packs). In this program, called “Autopack”, many units such as tray- and case palletisers, case packers and display loaders were developed. Many of these units were successfully implemented in farms and packing stations around the world.

The price-performance ratio of spherical robots developed recently in a positive way for application in the egg market. This was reason for Moba to start this project which will offer customers additional flexibility next to the existing machines. Unlike other robot integrators that aim for only a few specific solutions, Moba aims for a “toolbox” of elements from which many flexible tailor made configurations can be created.

To create the best possible solutions for the egg industry, Moba teamed up with Motoman, a Yaskawa subsidiary and global leading supplier of industrial robots. The large variety of available robots enabled the selection of the most suitable types for the tasks in the egg industry. This in itself is a revolution, since many bad robot experiences in the industry were caused by wrongly (over-) dimensioned systems, merely because only “fast runners” from the automobile industry where affordable. Most important reason for a partnership with a strong company is Moba’s long term commitment to its customers; Securing availability of service and parts for many years.

The Moba Robotics series will include robot cells with case packing, display loading, tray- and case palletising and de-palletising abilities. During VIV live demonstrations will be arranged in the Moba factory. For more information look at www.moba.nl or visit Moba at VIV Europe in Hall7, booth A008.
