We are developing a system for cutting sandwiches and other food
items (cakes, deserts, cheese, snack bars, prepared meats, pizzas
etc) using an ultrasonic blade.
The product passes under a camera which measures the position
and orientation of each piece. It is then tracked by the robot
as the conveyor moves, and is cut on the fly.
This results in a high throughput system requiring minimal operator
intervention and a choice of cuts (halves, quarters, fingers,
segments etc). The ultrasonic blade cuts with very low friction,
so the aesthetic appearance is excellent and cleaning of the blade
is kept to a minimum. This also means that the blade is very effective
at dealing with mixed product such as nuts in a relatively soft
snack bar.
Cutting on the fly also minimises handling of the product.
Please contact us if you would like a demonstration.
